Do you get to make chimpanze noises too? I am all about the noises and sound effects.

That is a great one works so many muscles!

It’s a lot more exhausting than it sounds! I do about 5 “laps” across the floor and I can barely stand up!

I have found that trainers have their own names for some things. So I am not familiar with a “Monkey Walk”. What is that?

Love your list Foodie. Thanks for stopping by. It has been awhile.

I have been working with my trainer for almost 5 years now and I definitely have my “favorites” and not so favorites. And some have switched places which is cool. (or moved into the F list after being Un) Here are mine, in no particular order.

1. Monkey walks
2. Wood chops with 10# medicine ball (thanks for reminding me)
3. Giant ball transfers (ab workout where you hold big ball between feet, arms overhead, lying down on back. Lift legs (with ball) up. Reach up and grab ball with hands, touch it to floor over head. Then meet feet in the “middle” again, transfer ball to feet, ball goes to touch floor by feet. Repeat)
4. Burpees!! I used to hate these with all of the fiery passion in my soul, but I now love them because I can do them without throwing up (that’s always good, eh?). I can do 10 with great gusto, which makes me happy.
5. Plank-jacks. (jumping jacks in plank position – thanks Jillian Michaels!)
6. One minute plank. Ahhh.
7. Bicep curls while sitting on big ball.
8. The thing where you run as fast as you can with a giant rubber band around your pelvis, then SLOWLY crouch backward to starting position. (boing-backs?)
9.Stand-ups: hold onto strong rubber tubing things tied to a wall. Sit down, arms extended. Stand up. Repeat. This is a lot harder than it sounds.
10. Jogging on trampoline while “punching” with 2 lb weights. I was introduced to this when I hurt my ankle.

NOTE: STILL hate pushups. And jumping rope. Oh well.
