My Pre-Thanksgiving Workout

Given the fact that any number of different circumstances can cause us to have physical limitations, I'm always thankful just for the opportunity to be physically able to move. And so, with the official day of Thanksgiving (in the USA, at least) coming up tomorrow, it only made sense to be extra thankful to be able to workout today. Here was the routine.

My standard warm-up (12 body-weight squats, 15 leg swings per side, 24 walking lunges, 10 close-grip push-ups, 10 stick-ups, 10 waiter's bows, 30-second plank, and 10 light dumbbell dead-lifts).

Now on to the workout:

Set 1
10 Front Squats with 100# barbell
20 Bench presses with 100# barbell
15 Bent-over rows with 2-25# dumbells
Rest one minute, repeat set but with only 12 bench-presses.

Set 2
15 1-leg Stability-ball curls (per leg)
10 ab-wheel roll-outs
Rest 30 seconds, repeat set.

Set 3
6 chin-ups with knee-ups
10 Turkish get-ups with 20# dumbbell (5 per side)

Set 4 (opposite of set 3)
10 Turkish get-ups with 20# dumbbell
6 chin-ups with knee-ups

Done.
