The Ray Rossi Workout – Cuts By the Cusp…(of Summer) – Day 3

First we get started with some rope skips to work up the heart rate:

Then we get into some body weight movements:

Some of the things I like to do involve the balance ball.

One of my favorites involves doing crunches on the ball with a medicine ball.

Rest the top of your behind in the balance ball, and crunch up from your abdominal section, while holding the medicine ball in front of you.

Try that for ten repetitions.

Now, if you happen to have a cinder block wall handy, while sitting on the balance ball, toss the medicine ball lightly against the wall, maintaining your upright position as the ball bounces against the wall.

Catch the ball, lean back, and repeat the motion.

Try that one until you feel the abdominal fatigue.

For a quick finish, do a set of pushups with one hand on the ground and the other on the medicine ball, rotating the ball from side to side with each pushup.

The emphasis throughout this workout will be to try and maintain balance which will help develop some of the ancillary muscle in your abs, arms, and chest.

If possible, try and mix in, between movements, a set of 30 or so rope skips to keep your heart rate up.

Have fun!
