Sarah Connor Workout....sort of....
I think something is missing here. ~:p
Okay, first I can't believe this is the first I have seen of this as I thought I had checked Darebee.com for one several times...and links to this seem to be a year or more old. I also know that I was on Darebee.com just a few months ago when a "Furiosa" workout was done by them featuring a two armed drawing (and exercises requiring too arms ....not unlike this or most of the female character ones)...after getting mocked they did one with the mechanical arm and then just changed the original to "Fury."
I think, however, that the Furiosa and this one demonstrate that they do NOT ever see the movies. ~:p
So, *putsonprofessionahat* MOST of these exercises are fine (I'm not crazy about and do not recommend "full-range" sit-ups whether you add punches or not...substituting crunches would be a better option) if you want to do them do them and have no issues counter indicating them. But this (like all the character tribute ones, it seems, especially featuring women) is NOT a full body workout! They even make that clear with their "what it works" graphic. It does NOT work the back. As all of these are body weight without equipment exercises, well, it's pretty much impossible to work the back without either lifting something up or lifting your body with something.
Our bodies are kind of designed to work towards the front. Most of what we do moves our arms forward. And a lot of a fitness routines focus on the front. If you've been in a martial arts class, you likely have done tons of push-ups and nothing for the back. I have met up with a lot of young athletic types who have tight pecs, rounded shoulders and weak backs who will brag on the number of push-ups they can do and the weight they can bench press...and can't do a chin. I have met a lot of not-so-young athletic types who have had severe back injuries. In fact, I know more exercise fanatics with lifelong back issues than I know non-exercisers with them because at least the non-exercisers are not over balancing their strength to the front.
As a trainer I tend to find that in order to balance ourselves, most of us actually need to do two back sets for every chest set. Especially the upper back (which, btw, chin-up barely touch).
So go for this if it looks fun just add those chin-ups! Then grab some weights and do some reverse flies to hit the upper back! Or here's a bunch of other back options if those don't work for you.http://www.exrx.net/Lists/ExList/BackWt.html Also remember keeping this varied is good for both body and soul!
And, always, be sure you are working out safely and within your health parameters! ~Saigh
