First Day of School Workout

Today was the first day of school for our kids. Down from 3 to 2 in school now as the oldest prepares to head off for college in a few weeks. After taking the obligatory first-day-of-school picture, I wished them well, waved good-bye, and then headed to the basement for the following workout. Twas a good one!

Started off, as always, with one round of the following warm-up:
--Prisoner squats
--leg swings
--walking lunges
--close-grip push-ups
--stick-ups
--waiter bows
--plank
--dumbbell dead-lift to overhead-press combo.

Okay, then on to the main event...

Set 1:
--chin-ups (underhand grip) with knee-ups (10 on first series, 8 on second)
--Barbell squats (25 reps at #100)
--Bench-press (25 reps at #100 on first series, 20 reps on second round)
rest 1 minute, then repeat set

Set 2:
--Dumbbell step-ups (10 reps/leg while holding 2-#25 dumbbells)
--Bent-over inverted rows with #25 dumbbells (15 reps)
rest 1 minute, repeat set

Set 3:
--Plank sequence (30-second plank followed by side-planks with leg raises). For the side planks I usually do 15 leg raises and then hold a side plank for an additional 15 seconds/side.
--1-leg stability-ball curls (15/leg)
rest 30 seconds, repeat.

Set 4:
--Ab-wheel roll-outs (10)
rest 30 seconds, repeat.

Done and breathing hard and sweaty! Great way to start the day!
