The Express Boot Camp Exercise
Friday, April 27th, 2012“
I know I do. Heck, I have a busy schedule myself coaching my clients, writing offline and online programs, giving you cool stuff like this By the way, Ive been getting some great feedback on the different pushups you can use with your bootcamps. I really appreciate it. Ill make that into a series, and your clients (or yourself) will never get bored with pushups again. You can certainly get a great workout in 30 minutes or less.
Here is what you need to do: 1) Use big, compound movements 2) Keep the rest periods short 3) If you want to incorporate conditioning (the interval approach), than you could strategically put that in the program, too. That way, you get the benefits and interval training simultaneously. Its called a workout finisher. On a side note if you only have 10 minutes to work out, this is what I suggest: Do the following circuit as many times as possible in 10 minutes 1A) Squat (8) 1B) Pull-ups (2 reps short of failure) 1C) Decline Pushups (15) Thats a solid 10-minute workout. Good times? Good times. Moving on Here is an express workout you can use to stay in shape if you have a hectic schedule: Fast Warm-up Circuit (2X with 30 secs of rest between circuits) Bodyweight Squat (12) Mountain Climbers (10/side) Total Body Extensions (10) Express Workout (Do this circuit 3 times, resting for 30 seconds between circuits) Squat (8) Pull-ups (1 rep short of failure) DB Chest Press (8) Spiderman Climb (10/side) Finisher Do this twice, resting for 10 seconds between supersets (yeah buddy) DB or KB Swings (30) Pushups (20) Now, how do you translate that into a Bootcamp Workout? Well, you already learned how to use timed sets, right? Now we just need to use bodyweight exercises or simple DB moves for a bootcamp workout setting. Lets rock it The Express Bootcamp Workout Warm-up Circuit Bodyweight Squat (20 secs) Mountain Climbers (20 secs) Total Body Extensions (20 secs) The main workout Narrow Stance Bodyweight Squat (30 secs) (these are tougher on the quads) or a Bodyweight Split Squat (30 secs/side) Band Row or DB Rows (30 secs) Spiderman Pushups (30 secs) Total Body Extensions (30 secs) Spiderman Climb (30 secs) Now, you can see I added the Total Body Extension between the pushups and the Spiderman climb. The reason I did that is because its tough to go from the pushup to the Spiderman climb because you work your core more with a pushup than a DB chest press.
Finisher DB or KB Swings (30 secs) Pushups (30 secs) Now thats a solid Express workout.
So now, you or your clients dont have an excuse to skip your workout Ill do a cool series on using metabolic workout finishers with your programs. They rock. Stay tuned. In the meantime, keep working hard and let me know when you try this Express workout. And have an awesome weekend!
