Fit Tips #5: Bodyweight Training Success

She did not get lean by making excuses.  Use your own body to make progress towards your goal.

Fat Loss comes down to 3 basic things:


Intensity, Nutrition, and Consistency.  Now if you are someone who maybe wants a change of scenery from the gym every once in a while (park, track) I have a bodyweight conditioning routine that will blow your mind and leave your body folded!

The circuit looks like:

Warm Up!

Dynamic Squats into
Air Squats into
Jump Lunges into
Walking Lunges into
Push Ups into
Mountain Climbers into
Squat Thrusts into
100 meter SPRINT.

Your warm up can consist of 15 seconds of jumping jacks into planks jacks into walk outs repeated 3-5x through.  You will perform each movement for 30 seconds.  You will rest 15 seconds between movements.  You will record the 100 meter sprint time.  (Grab a stopwatch.)  You will do 3-6 rounds and rest 90 seconds after each round.  Intensity can be increased by reducing the rest time or by increasing the work time.  (If you are sadistic like me you can apply both)  This is just a basic bodyweight routine that can be done at any local track and gives you less excuses for why you cannot train or find time.  Procrastination leads to oblivion.
