6/3/15

Option A: The Total Body Extension Blast

– Simply do 60 seconds of the Total Body Extension…you should be able to do 40 repetitions…and your quads will be burning, your breathing and heart rate will increase dramatically, and the blood will be flowing faster…giving you a big time energy boost. It’s the least fancy of our options.

 

Option B: The Push-up Drop-Set

– Advanced: Do as many Spiderman Pushups as you can (alternating sides). If you tire out, switch to Close-Grip Pushups. If you tire out again, switch to regular Pushups. And if you tire out again, hold the top of the Pushup Plank position until the minute is over.

– Beginner: Do as many Pushups as you can, then drop to your knees and do Kneeling Pushups. If you tire out, hold the top of the Pushup Plank position until the minute is over.

 

Option C: The 1-Minute Triathlon

1A) Total Body Extension or Bodyweight Squat – 20 seconds

1B) The Hardest Pushup You Can Do – 20 seconds

1C) Run-In-Place – 20 seconds

That’s it. One minute to better health, and boosted calorie burning. Why not put them all together, and perform at max intensity, which we call the Shashido Explosion. Just go max effort, minimize rest, for 3 solid minutes of high intensity output.

19/2/15

1.    Kettlebell Swing – 20 reps
2.    Feel the Burn Pushups – 10 reps
3.    Goblet Squat – 20 reps
4.    1-Arm KB Rows – 10 reps/side
o    Rest 1 minute, repeat 1 more time

7/2/15

It’s just a few simple movements that you can do right in your living room, but make sure to do them in the order listed below.

  1. Eccentric Bodyweight Squats: 1-minute
  2. Pushup Hold: 1-minute
  3. Deep Lateral Lunges: 1-minute

For the Eccentric Squats, slowly lower yourself down for a count of 5-seconds.  Then when you reach the bottom of your squat, explode back up.

And the Pushup Hold simply means you hold the pushup position, with your arms straight, abs braced, and toes on the ground (drop to your knees for the modified version).

Not only will this wake up your body and central nervous system, but it’ll help you burn more fat throughout the day by simply working your big muscle groups first thing in the morning.

6/9/14

KB Swings (20)

Hanging Leg Raise (8)

3X, resting for 30 secs between rounds

——————————————————————–

Do 45-50s of each exercise, followed by a 10-15s transition. If you’re new or just getting back into exercise, try 30s work, 30s rest. Choose a weight you can press overhead for 10-12 reps.

#1: DB Thruster

A powerful, explosive exercise not for the faint of heart. You can count on this total body exercise to boost your power and torch calories at the same time, while targeting your legs, hips, shoulders and core.

Here’s a quick tip on form:

(i) Hold the weight in front of your shoulders, with elbows bent.

(ii) Take 2 seconds to lower your hips until your thighs are parallel to the floor.

(iii) Push back up, press the dumbbells overhead until your arms are straight.

(iv) Lower the dumbbells shoulder height as you immediately descend into the squat for the next rep.

#2: Curtsy Squat Switches

This one is especially for the ladies… but seriously guys, you need to try it too

It will tame your toughest trouble spots, and tighten your butt.

Here’s how:

(i) Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, with your left toe angled at 45 degrees to the left. Your right toe is pointed

(ii) Cross your right leg behind body and to the left so your inner thighs touch. Imagine you are drawing a semi-circle with your right toe

(iii) Bend left knee 90 degrees with toes pointing forward

(iv) Return to starting position. Immediately switch and repeat on the left leg

Common Mistake:

– Do not let your body twist away. Keep your hips square and chest up

#3: Push Up to Renegade Rows

The renegade row is one of the hardest upper back and ab sculpting exercises you can do with a single pair of dumbbells.

It might sound simple… With dumbbells in hand, prop yourself up to plank position. Do a push up, then row the right dumbbell, and lower it to the floor then row the left dumbbell. Repeat for more good times.

Now this addition of the push up makes a killer combination for an upper body blast. And this makes it the perfect two-for-one move, especially when you’re short on time.

#4: DB Reverse Lunge with Rotation

This “hybrid” is fantastic for hitting your core and butt all in one sexy move.

Let’s do it!

(i)Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a dumbbell, weight plate at chest height

(ii) Step backwards into a lunge with your left leg simultaneously rotating to the right. Keep your arms slightly bent and weight close to your body

(iii) Drive through the heel of your right leg to return to starting position. Alternate legs

#5: Cross Mountain Burpees

There’s good reason why the burpee stood the test of time and you STILL find people rocking it. And this variation is my latest spin on the old school favorite.

You will get in amazing shape just looking at it! 😉

Just kidding… Here we go:

(i) Stand with your feet together, with feet shoulder width apart. Put your hands on the floor and kick your legs back so they are extended in a push up position

(ii) Do one cross body mountain climber. Bring your right knee to your left elbow, and alternate your left knee to right elbow

(iii) Jump back forward so your feet are next to your hands

(iv) Jump up into a jumping jack. Repeat for specified time

———————————————————————–

Do the exercise for 30 seconds and do as many reps as possible, with good form. Count the number of reps you get and try to equal your score each round.
Rest for 30 seconds at the end of the circuit. Repeat for a total of 10 rounds.
A) Burpees x 30 seconds
– Rest 30 seconds

—————————————————————-

– Do 20 seconds per exercise with 10 second rest = 1 round
– Do all rounds of the exercise before moving to the next
– Do not rest additionally between the exercises
A) Spilt shuffle x 4 rounds of 20:10
B) Mountain climbers x 4 rounds of 20:10
———————————————————————-
Perform each of the following exercises in order. Try to do as many reps as possible in the allocated time, with perfect form. Repeat for a total of 4 rounds.

A) Ski jumps x 10
B) burpees x 10
C) Y squats x 20
D) Jumping jacks x 20

—————————————————————–

Do the following circuit, resting only when needed. If your form gets sloppy, you MUST stop and rest. In the first circuit, you’ll do 6 reps of each exercise. In the next circuit, you’ll do  5 reps. Continue until you complete 1 rep of each exercise.

*Prisoner Lunge Jumps (6/side…1/side)

**T-Pushups (6/side…1/side)

***Alternating Bodyweight Chops (6/side…1/side)

*This move hits your explosive lower body muscles, which burn more fat. At the same time, you work your upper back by keeping your hands behind your head.

** This works your pushing muscles with the pushups, however, you also hit your abs harder because of the “twist” at the end of each rep

*** One of the few standing ab exercises… you literally “chop” towards the opposite knee while bracing your abs HARD and switch sides with every rep. This will challenge your abs even more after doing the T Pushups.

———————————————————————

Complete all reps of each exercise before moving on to the next exercise.  Rest as little as possible.  However, if your form gets sloppy, you MUST take a break until you can do the exercise properly again.

  • 25 Decline Close Grip Pushups
  • 50 Duck Unders
  • 25 Spiderman Climb Burpees

Time yourself, write down how long it takes you to finish, then do this same Challenge next week and make it your mission to beat your previous time.

Flat Abs in 4-Minutes

1)  Side Plank w/ Leg Lift – 8 reps/side

2)  Bodysaw or Rocking Plank – 15 reps

3)  Wall Sprints – 15 seconds

Repeat as many times as possible in 4 minutes.  Rest only when necessary.

Wall Sprints – Place your hands on the wall and straighten your arms, so there’s space between your body and the wall.  Keep your hands on the wall, then sprint in place, driving your knees up as high as you can.

Why only 15 seconds for the Wall Sprints?  Because that’s the sweet spot when your intensity starts to slow down.  I’d rather have you go all out for 15 seconds, rather than pace yourself for 45.

Plus that high intensity work will help your body release more growth hormone, which attacks belly fat and is the key to fast fat loss.

KB Snatch (12/side)
