ETFnerd Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 So I was fooling around after my workout tonight and I think I made up a new exercise. I really don't know if it's new because everything has probably been done before, but I've never seen it done and until someone else claims to have done it before me I'll call it new. The nerdee is my version of the burpee I guess . Except mine is cooler . Anyway, it starts with an inverted sit-up on the punching bag and transitions into a handstand pushup while balancing on the bag on one of those aerobics steps so that you can dip your head below the level of your hands. It then repeats after that. One situp and one pushup is one rep. Like it because the legs hold your bodyweight on the bag so it is a 1xBW LOWER BODY (leg) exercise, the situp is probably a 0.5xBW CORE exercise and the handstand pushup is a 1xBW UPPER BODY (including arms) exercise, so it's a total body exercise at pretty high intensity. I made a video of it for illustration because just explaining it wouldn't be enough. I tried it after doing 100 inverted punching bag situps and 6.7 miles on the treadmill and that will be my convenient excuse for epic-ly failing to do the handstand pushup. I'll try it again this week when I am fresher and I think I'll be able to do at least one rep (gulp, I hope). If you find it interesting enough, watch the video and let me know what you think.

Pat G Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 I don't ever remember Zorro doing that. I'm fairly sure i can't do one handstand pushup either. so kudos for even trying. You need a sword. then i would have believed you... a bit more. Quote "Strength is the cup. The bigger the cup, the more you can put in" - JDanger Link to comment

Seems like something Zorro would do just to mess with his enemies. I mean, he spends the time cutting Zs into everything just for that. Quote Link to comment

ebm1224 Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 very impressive! if i could do any of the things in it, i'm sure i would give it a try. swinging on the punching bag does look kinda fun, though. also, i find it ironic that you purposely cover your face but also take pics of yourself in neon spandex.

Hermione Gainser Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 Holy crap! You are ridic! hahaha that is a really cool exercise. I think my favorite part is watching you jump up on the bag. You are spry like a kitty... or ninja. I don't know that Zorro was so spry but maybe he didn't have to be.

ETFnerd Posted December 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 What did you think of the music? I thought it was 60's-70's shag-a-licious...

Hermione Gainser Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 What did you think of the music? I thought it was 60's-70's shag-a-licious...HA! I watched without music the first time. It really enhances the experience. I'd say mix of shag-a-licious and elevator music. Like, maybe the person used to do porn soundtracks and now their career tanked so they do elevator music. Anyway, I am flying to nyc for the day so I am in and out of here sporadically on my phone so apologies in advance and I'm not trying to ignore anyone... Oh fun! We'll forgive you... maybe.
