Upper Body Workout

Upper Body Workout

Upper Body WorkoutWhat was your workout today?

I tweaked my knee coming down awkwardly from a high pull-up bar last week! But upper body & core workouts have kept me busy while it heals. Click the image to the right to watch a video for some upper body exercises to get you moving.

Lower Body Circuit

Lower Body CircuitDo you prefer cardio or strength?

This is both!
3 Rounds with 20 Bicycle Abs in between each exercise!

This is great if you need a #Leg Day AND a cardio workout all in one & only have 30 minutes, this will get the job done! 🙂

Do each exercise 1 minute with 20 Bicycle Crunches in between each.

1. Jumping Lunges
2. 20 Bicycle Abs
3. Romanian Deadlifts
4. 20 Bicycle Abs
5. Plyo squats off bench
6. 20 Bicycle Abs
7. Speed Skaters
8. 20 Bicycle Abs
9. Squat into Lunge into Squat w/barbell
10. 20 Bicycle Abs

  • Warmup
  • Do 3 Rounds
  • Stretch

The amount of weight you use is up to you.. With lighter weight you will go faster & do more reps, with heavier weight, you will go slower & do fewer, more challenging reps. Either way, it should be challenging for 3 rounds! 🙂

HIIT Workout

HIIT WorkoutWould you do this? I feel blessed to be able to categorize this as “work” for my business as a BB Coach. How does everyone not want to do this?

A whole #HIITworkout‬ just using a Les Millspump bench!

Warmup first.

DO 2-3 ROUNDS

1 min of each exercise below & only 10 sec transition in between each one (since every other exercise is less intense & acts as “active recovery”)

  • Plyometric runners lunges
  • Tricep Dips
  • Straddle jump squats
  • Tricep Push-ups
  • Quick Mountain Climbers
  • Toes to Med ball (or dumbell )
  • Alternating jumping side lunges
  • Piyo‬ pedal with Med ball (or dumbbell)

Cool down & stretch

How often do you train abs?

abs Abs are revealed when you have abdominal muscles you’ve built but also low enough body fat that they SHOW thru . Having 6-pack abs is toughbecause you have to have a REALLY low body fat % for the abdominal muscles to POP thru!

Some people gain & hold their fat around their midsection more than others, that’s usually genetics, but still that person can achieve a 6-pack but the abdominal fat might be the last to go & they may have to work harder and be more restrictive than someone else.

Don’t stress, abs don’t define you! And who walks around showing their abs anyway!

But if you want it, here’s what it takes:
1. 90% Clean eating that fits your body’s ideal-for-fatloss & muscle-building calories & macro’s.

2. Consistent effective & varied workouts – strength training, HIITs, some endurance training, & flexibility training.

Those 2 things, especially #1, impact your bodyfat % the most.
