Hey guys!
It's time for some unique, lean-body workouts for time-crunched people. I've
got some Super-Fast "Multi-Workouts" to do at home or the office!
Warning:
This style of workout is WAY different than anything you've ever tried before
and may result in a dramatically leaner, stronger body so that your friends no
longer recognize you in a matter of weeks!
Alright, I
exaggerated about your friends recognizing you, according to Fitness Experts this
workout is still great for busy people who always use the excuse that they
don't have time to go to the gym, or even for the normal gym rat to try out for
a few weeks to break out of a plateau.
Please keep
an open mind and don't worry so much about what other people think, because
this is quite different and you may get some funny looks, but you'll get the
last laugh with your new rock hard body!
Here's how
it works (these workouts can be done at home or even in your office):
Instead of
doing your traditional workouts of going to the gym 3-4 times a week and doing
your normal weight training and cardio routines for 45-60 minutes at a shot...
with this program, you will be working out for just a couple minutes at a time,
several times throughout each day, 5 days/week.
The program
will consist of only bodyweight exercises done for about 2-3 minutes, 6-8 times
per day, throughout each day. Now obviously if you work a normal office job,
you are going to have to not be shy about doing a few exercises in your office
and having your cube-mates watch you. Actually, I've found that some people
that have tried this have actually gotten their co-workers to join them!
If you have
a private office, then you don't have to worry about anybody watching you. If
you work from home, or are a stay at home mom, there's no reason you can't fit
these in throughout the day while at home. If you end up having a busy day with
meetings and so forth, and can only fit a couple of these 2-minute workouts in,
then so be it, but try to get as many done each day as you can.
If you're on
a normal 9-5 office schedule, I recommend doing your 2-minute workouts every
hour, on the hour, with the exception of lunch. For example, you could try 9
am, 10 am, 11 am, 1 pm, 2 pm, 3 pm, and 4 pm.
Some of the
bodyweight exercises that are the best to focus on are:
·
bodyweight
squats (and variations)
·
pushups
(and variations)
·
forward,
reverse, or walking lunges
·
up
& down a staircase if one is available
·
floor
planks (holding the plank position from forearms and feet)
·
floor
abs exercises such as lying leg thrusts, ab bicycles, etc.
·
one-legged
bodyweight Romanian deadlifts
This list is
not fully comprehensive, but I wanted to keep it relatively simple. If you know
other good bodyweight exercises, you can add those to your routine also. If you
want to keep it real simple and don't want to get down on the floor for
anything, you can stick to squats, lunges, and pushups and still get great
results.
The good
thing about these workouts is that you do enough in 2-3 minutes to get your
blood pumping, heart rate up a bit, a large portion of your body's muscles
worked, and body temperature raised. However, it's usually not enough to break
a sweat in only 2 or 3 minutes, so you don't have to worry about sweating in
the office or where ever you may be. At most, you might just get a little moist
on the skin.
