Fat Loss, Muscle Building And Cardio: My 20 Minute Total Body Workout
If you have read any of my other articles you know I believe in doing total body workouts. Weight training, kettlebell training and bodyweight exercises are use3d in my workouts for adding variety to my workouts.
Let’s face facts sticking to an exercise program is not easy. after a hard day at work sometimes the thought of going home to workout isn’t that appealing. That’s why I like to and always tell people to use variety in thier workouts.
By combining weight training, kettlebell training, bodyweight exercises whether you use all 3 in a workout or a combination of them really does stop the boredom of doing the same old workout all the time.
As an example I wanted to show you the workout I did yesterday. In this workout I used weight training exercises and bodyweight exercises in a modified complex workout. I often will structure my workouts to be done in comlexes.
What is a complex?
Complexes are pairing 2 or more exercises and doing a set of each before taking a rest. Normally I don’t use more than 2 exercises per complex. That’s my personal choice you may want to do more.
My 20 minute workout.
Complex#1
1A – Dumbbell Clean and Press - 4 sets of 5 reps 1 set of 4 reps - this is done with 2 dumbbells doing a clean before each press. This is one of my favorite exercises it is really a total body workout on it’s own.
1B – Mountain Climbers – 1 set of 18 3 sets of 16 1 set of 14 – as soon as I put down the dumbbells I go right into mountain climbers.
Stand Alone Exercise:
2 – Deadlifts – 4 sets of 5 1 set of 4 – deads are another of my favorites and really get your whole body working. So I normally do these as a stand alone exercise.
Complex #2
3A – Dumbbell Rows – 4 sets of 6 reps – these are single arm rows a good lat exercise
3B – Pushups – 4 sets of 12 reps – yep plain old push-ups a very effective and neglected exercise (as are most bodyweight exercises.
About the Author
