A lot of people who want to burn off some excess pounds and tighten and tone their bodies merely don’t have 2 hours every day to spend in the gym performing the bodybuilding style workouts that most “fitness experts” recommend.
Plus, these workouts consist of exercises and techniques that don’t exercise the body in the way it’s normally used so they wind up building a somewhat unusable strength. In my view, most people, except if their main objective is body building, should not carry out the traditional style workouts.
While I do still believe that machine and free weight strength training is the best choice for body building, it’s not the very best choice with regards to general fitness goals like strength, flexibility, endurance, etc.
I don’t know about you, but I can hardly fit in 15 minutes for exercise not to mention 2 hours… and I personally am not interested in muscle size alone (which doesn’t mean strength and generally leaves you stiff and inflexible)! I am sure your schedule is probably the same. The good news however is you do not have to… you can burn fat, increase flexibility, build unbelievable strength and endurance, reshape your body, and build a level of fitness that’s really functional.
I want to share with you a workout which I do personally that delivers an excellent combination of strength, flexibility, cardio and muscular endurance, and fat burning.
WARNING: These workout won’t just surprise you, however it will most likely go against everything you ever thought to be true with regards to fitness. Furthermore, it is advised you consult your physician prior to starting any exercise program.
Are you all set? Good, here it is: The following exercises should be performed with little, if any, rest between and you may need to adjust the number of repetitions or time depending upon your current fitness level.
Jumping Jacks -1 minute Bodyweight squat (one-leg squat for advanced) – 15-20 reps Push-ups (slower reps for advanced) – as many reps as you possibly can Kick butts (jog in place and kick your rear with both heels) – one minute Hamstring floor bridge (make use of swiss ball or 1 leg for advanced) – 15-20 reps Superman (lying on stomach w/ arms out to side, lift legs and chest off floor) – 15-20 reps High knees (jog in place lifting knees as high as you possibly can) – one minute Stationary lunge – 15-20 reps Torso rotations/twists – 20 reps each direction Side bends/reaches – 20 reps each direction Mountain climbers – 1 minute (if you can J) Wall sit – so long as you can hold it Dips (make use of chair/bench/stairs) – as many reps as possible
There you have it… seems easy, right? That couldn’t quite possibly do anything, right? I personally challenge you… try it… no, try it right now! Drop what you’re doing and give it a shot and see for yourself. If you believe it is a bit easy, which I doubt, execute it 2-3 times through without rest.
This workout will deliver more usable fitness results and benefits than any traditional gym or health club workout. At this point, you can needless to say implement this kind of workout in the gym and make it even better, however the beauty of this is you can do it anywhere!
Additionally, this is only one example and as you can imagine, there are thousands of other exercises you can add or replace… I really suggest switching the exercises every 2-4 weeks or maybe better is to put together three or four different workouts after which rotate them.
If you are not acquainted with one of the exercises, simply replace it with one you know that works the same part of the body. You can also learn all of these exercises together with lots of others in my soon to be released video that will consists of several workouts such as this that you can do anywhere to build and maintain awesome levels of fitness, even workouts with dumbbells, swiss balls, medicine balls, and more… watch out for it in forthcoming months.
