Take on your Men's Fitness workout of the week, a new 52-part series to keep you inspired and challenged for 2015. We'll post a new workout every Monday and for an added incentive, we'll take on the workout too so you can see how your best time compares with a member of the MF team.
Workout of the Week #18
Do three rounds of 20 10kg med ball slams and 20 box jumps as fast as you can.
How to do the workout:
Hold a 9kg med ball in both hands, standing facing a wall. Lower into a squat until your thighs are parallel with the floor, then drive up and throw the ball high against the wall. Catch the ball and lower straight into the next rep. Once you've done 100 reps, move onto the sit-ups. Keep your feet flat on the floor, your fingers to your temples and focus on using your core and abs to sit up rather than wrenching your neck muscles. After 100 reps move onto press-ups. Lower until your chest is just off the floor and drive up until your arms are straight at the top. Rest as much as you need but the aim is to complete all 300 reps as fast as you can.
Watch the video, take on the challenge and post your best score in the comments section below.
