12 Days Fitness Challenge Workout 10 – Down Under

12DaysTileFinal copy

Your mission: Complete twelve workouts between December 1st and January 1st

If you’re a Performance Fitness member these twelve workouts can be any combination of personal training sessions, group training classes, a DIY workout from the Performance Fitness Exercise Guide (don’t have a PFit Exercise Guide? email us and get one!), a WOW, or one of the 12 Days Challenge Workouts.

The important thing between now and January 1st is to get in your workouts. Don’t have an hour to workout or can’t get to class? No worries! For this challenge, intensity trumps time.

Not a Performance Fitness member? You can still play along (although not win the prizes) by following the 12 Days Workouts OR you could become a member and be eligible for the prizes and get the full benefit of training with our cast of wacky, yet loveable fitness experts.

Workouts will be posted daily, Monday through Friday. Post to comments below to get credit for completing the workout

Workout 10 – Down Under

Today’s workout focuses on the upper body. You’re going to challenge your back muscles and biceps with Aussie Pull Ups (sometimes called “Down Unders” because you get you chest under a bar or a suspension trainer to perform them) and tricep dips.

Make sure your upper arms only go to parallel on your tricep dips. If you don’t have access to a barbell and squat rack set up or a suspension trainer for the Aussie Pull Ups, do body rows with a bed sheet, Dumbbell Rows, or Prone Pulls  instead.

Do a reverse ladder of the following:

10-9-8-7-6-5 Aussie Pull Ups

10-9-8-7-6-5 Tricep Dips
