A nice bodyweight circuit you can do at home in place of interval training to burn fat.

So the first exercise that I am going to show you is a Y squat followed by a spiderman pushup. Then we are going to a reverse lunge, and then a prone tuck in with push-up, and the 5^th exercise is a prisoner sit squat, so it will be on the balls of the feet. Then the 6^th exercise is what is called a cross body mountain climber. I am going to do 6 repetitions for each, just so that I can show you the exercise. For you, you can do 8-12, or 15 repetitions per exercise depending on how strong and fit you are. Going through the circuit with no rest between exercises. Rest 1 minute at the end, and repeat the up to 3 times.The first exercise is the Y squat with the hands up in the Y position.

Next up spiderman push-up. Reverse lunge, you can keep your hands at your side, or do them prisoner style to increase the work on your upper back. Keep the elbows back, and shoulder blades together. Whenever you are doing an exercise with your hands up in the prisoner position, you have to keep your elbows together. Your elbows back, and shoulder blades together. Otherwise there is no point in keeping your arms up there. Prisoner sit squat on the balls of the feet. Last one is the cross body mountain climber.

Ok so you can see how a lot of this stuff involves forward flexion for the abdominals, but also a bit of hip flexion, there is a lot of work done by the quadriceps as well in the workout. Also a lot of pushing. So not a lot of upper back or hamstrings, so make sure and get some extra exercises in after, or in another workout to make up for that. That’s it for our fist circuit workout TTMembers.com Looking forward to bringing you more in the future.Here’s to 2008 being your best year ever. If there is anything I can do to help you out, don’t hesitate to ask. Thanks so much for your support! 2008 is going to be a heck of a year,Craig Ballantyne, CSCS, MS Author, Turbulence Training

Turbulence Training: More Bodyweight Circuits

Turbulence Training: More Bodyweight Circuits

This is Craig Ballantyne from TurbulenceTraining and TTmembers. I am going to explain today what a bodyweight circuit is. We us bodyweight circuits in place of interval training because many people don’t have interval training machines at home, and don’t have the ability to go outside and do sprints.

 

So what we do for bodyweight circuit training is we use about 6 exercises, and we use 3 upperbody exercises, and we use 3 lowerbody exercises, alternating between the upperbody and the lowerbody exercises. So we’ll start off with the very easy lowerbody exercise and a very easy upperbody exercise. A Y squat is a nice general easy warmup exercise to start the circuit. Your hands are up in a Y position, push your hips back, and just do squatting. Since we’re doing circuits we are going to do about 15 repetitions, we want to obviously fatigue our ourselves with this circuit.

Then we are going into just a basic pushup exercise because it’s really serving as a warm-up exercise for us. We’ll do about 15 repetitions of that too because we are really using these at almost an advanced level, so you should be able to do about 15 pushups. If you can’t…If you are a beginner, then use kneeling pushups. For whatever you do, choose an exercise that’s not going to make you sore the next day.

So our third exercise in the circuit, we use something with the lunge, maybe with a bit of a pause down at the bottom to increase the difficulty. We’ll do 12 or 15 repetitions for each leg because again, because we’re working through the bodyweight circuit, using it as interval training rather than as strength training. Using exercises we can do a lot of repetitions for. Then we’ll going into another pushup. This time we’ll make it harder, so we’ll go with a decline pushup. We’ll do also about 15 repetitions, because after the 15 regular pushups, 15 decline pushups will be quite hard.

 

The we’ll go into 1 more, lower body exercise, this time I’d like to use something that uses a lot of movement, so I might use something like jumping jacks, and we’ll do about 60 repetitions of the jumping jacks, again because we’re using this as interval training, we’re not using it as strength training, it’s a good way to increase the sweat rate, and the get lots of calorie burned. We’ll finish off with a total body abdominal exercise, because there is so much work here on the chest, holding us in position, we’ll call this an upper body exercise. We’ll do mountain climbers.

 

We’re doing about 12 for each side. Maybe even 15 for each side. So that’s just a 6 exercise, very basis bodyweight circuit. Very little equipment needed. You don’t even need the bench. You can just put your feet up on anything. That way you can do interval type training, anywere, anytime. All you need is about a 6 x 6 area, and you can still get interval type cardio training, that will help boost your metabolism, and burn fat.
