Fitgirl: Sparticus 2.0 (Thanks Patrick Boyd)

Thanks for sending me this link Patrick.  Tried the work out yesterday, liked it!  Jeremy & I are thinking of alternating between the 2 Sparticus work outs.  1 each week.

We didn't end up doing the whole thing, read it wrong.  You are supposed to do Circuit 1 * 2 sets, take a 2 minute break, and repeat.  And then do the same with Circuit 2.  We screwed up and only did the circuits 2 sets each, but it still ended up being a good workout! (short, but good)

We used Kettle Bells instead of Dumbbells for all of the exercises, except 1 (the squat to push press).  You do each exercise for 40 seconds, and then 20 seconds to recover, and moving onto the next exercise in the circuit.

Circuit 1:

1. Dumbbell High Pulls (we used 30 lbs. KBs)
2. Reverse Lunge Holding 1 Dumbbell in opposite arm that leg is stepping back (used 20 lbs. KB)
3. DB Swings: 20 seconds per arm (30 lbs. KB)
4. Squat Push Press (10lbs Dumbbells, next time I will use 12 lbs)
5. One Hand, One Leg Row: they have you putting one hand on a bench, we just balanced on the one leg with opposite hand/arm doing the row (20 lbs. KB)

***note: when an exercise is one sided, the next time through the circuit you do the other side

Circuit 2:

1. Dumbbell Diagonal Wood chop (we used 20 lbs. KBs)
2. Elbow Plank, walk up to Push up position & back down
3. Rotational Dumbbell Single Leg Dead lift: reaching opposite hand down to opposite foot (20 lbs KB)
4. Squat Thrusts
5. Weighted Jump Squats (20 lbs KB)

I really liked that there is a balance component with this work out, unlike the first Sparticus.  Give this workout a try and let me know what you think?
