Hey Fit Nuts!
I'm always curious to know what other trainers are doing in their workouts so I thought I would share what I'm doing right now. Hope you like it!
Right now I'm in a Total Body phase of training, meaning, every workout targets total body, makes sense right? TB workouts are great for fat loss, maintenance and a plane old kick a** workout. I love them!
Workout A is Squats, Push-ups, TRX Low Row, TRX W Fly, Step-ups, BB Curls, 20min HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) (These are 10-30sec sprints)
Workout B is Romanian Deadlifts, Chin-ups, Chest Press, Shoulder Press, TRX Suspended Lunge, Skull Crushers, 20min Anaerobic Intervals (These are 1-2min intervals)
Workout C is TRX Side Lunge, Hanging Leg Raises, Cobra, TRX Lunge Balance, Reverse Crunch, Oblique Crunch, Bridges, Standing Cable Stability Chop, Jackknife, SB Squat, YTWL, 40-60min Steady Paced Run (outside).
Sets: 2-4 Reps: 15-8 Rest: 30sec-60sec
If you look closely at Workout A & B they are similar in that they contain more strength-like exercises. Now take a look at workout C, it's more Core & Stabilization. Sometimes depending on how my body feels I will do A, B and then C. However, if, like yesterday, I'm not fully recovered from my last workout I will throw workout C in between A&B. Mixing it up like this not only allows your body to recover properly it also keeps your body guessing. Remember, the body's number one goal is to use the least amount of energy for any given thing. What does that mean? Adaptation. Your body will adapt to anything you do in the gym (and out for that matter). So mixing it up keeps things fresh and new, inefficiency is a great thing when it comes to your workouts. Don't let your body get comfy doing the same old thing. In between workouts if I'm feeling energetic I will throw in an extra steady paced run outside. This gives me 3-5 days per week of great workouts.
Now get out there and have some FUN!
