This Bodyweight Exercise Routine Will Leave You Breathless!
I’ve recently been playing around with a bodyweight exercise routine that I’m starting to really love (in an evil way). As you know I’m a huge fan of bodyweight training, and highly recommend it for anybody and everybody looking to get in awesome shape and work muscles they’ve never worked before.
This girl's doing the bodyweight training routine, so should you!
For me this routine is something I put at the end of my workout, but for a lot of people you can simply do this bodyweight exercise routine I put together and have it be your entire workout. Or you might think of doing this one in place of jogging if jogging is boring to you like it is to me.
Here’s why I love it so much…
- It works literally every single muscle in your body
- It improves your “work capacity” (e.g. being able to keep your strength while you’re already exhausted)
- It improves explosiveness
- For some people might improve your strength
- It helps burn fat like crazy
- You can do it in probably a 10×10 area space, maybe even smaller.
- It’s ridiculously easy and be done with VERY cheap equipment or even no equipment as I’ll explain
It only takes about 10 minutes or so – so you have NO excuses not to do it!
Ok so here’s the bodyweight exercise routine I’m talking about…
What you’re going to do is very similar to Tabata Intervals, but instead of 20 seconds on, 10 seconds off you’ll do the following:
Jumprope 100 skips as fast as humanely possible (I do this in roughly 30-40 seconds, never timed myself though so don’t quote me on that).
30 seconds rest.
Burpees for 30 seconds straight.
30 seconds rest.
That’s it!
Just do that for 5 sets each (e.g. 5 “circuits”) and you’ll be wiped. Like I said I add this to the end of your workout if you’re already in great shape, and if not just try it on it’s own either on your non-strength training day or for your high rep day.
And if you don’t have a jumprope or don’t have room to jump rope…simply hold something about 1/2 pound and PRETEND you’re skipping rope. It might not help with coordination but you’ll sure feel it in your forearms and shoulders!
Try this bodyweight exercise routine out and let me know how it works for you. I’d love to know!
