Ass Busting Workout
Hi BodyRockers,
I was thinking today how much of life we approach from a “barely enough” attitude. Barely enough effort, attention, thought, focus, kindness… the list can go on and on. Most people are in a perpetual state of auto pilot. They go down the path of least resistance – which for the vast majority means eating whatever and avoiding exercise – avoiding moving as much as possible. Then there are those folks who do take the time to exercise, but with barely enough effort. A half hour on the elliptical, 20 minutes wandering around the free weight room, maybe some sit ups before they hit the change room. The thing about these people is that year in year out nothing changes. They look the same, their strength, agility, flexibility endurance remains a flatline. They feel good about exercising but will never experience dramatic life changing results. Years can go by like this. Decades even. My point is that life is short and barely enough just won’t deliver you remarkable results. You can take a relaxed attitude towards your diet and your training – but you are going to get results that match your behavior. If you want the body, strength, endurance and poise of an athlete then barely enough is never going to get you there. It just won’t.
The BodyRocker who writes that when she started she couldn’t do a single push up – but now can do over 50 – she didn’t get there by barely enough effort. These workouts are tough and it’s not an accident that if you go all in with your effort that they will bust your ass. They kick you in the head and force you to focus down and train hard. There are no short cuts, and you can’t do this on auto pilot. It really requires you to be present and in your skin – aware of your body and on purpose. Feels great doesn’t it?
Best,
Freddy & Zuzana

Instructions:
This workout is 20 minute long interval training. It is very dynamic and I promise that you won’t be bored ;)
Set your Interval Timer for 6 rounds of two intervals – both 10 seconds long. What’s special about these two minutes of high intensity intervals is that there is absolutely no rest. You will be doing Jump Lunges and Mountain Climbers back and forth for 2 minutes straight. This is unbelievable burn out and you will curse me for that, however I think it’s a lot of fun :)
Right after these 2 minutes is 200 reps of free style skipping with your jump rope. Think of it as a cool down, however keep a nice moderate pace. It shouldn’t take you too look to complete the 200 reps.
Now do another 2 minutes of Jump Lunges & Mountain Climbers back and forth.
Last part is 5 minutes of interval training with the Dip Station (if you don’t have the dip station, try some modifications or completely different core and upper body exercises). Set your Interval Timer for 6 rounds of two intervals – 10 seconds and 40 seconds. The 10 seconds is your rest interval. You will be doing the Sumo Squat & Lift (which works your legs, butt, abs and arms) as the first exercise. The second exercise is Reverse Push Up (this one is great for your upper back and abs as well). Your goals is to complete as many reps as you can for each exercise during each 40 second interval.
It will look like this:
10 seconds of rest
40 seconds of work – Sumo Squat & Lift
10 seconds of rest
40 seconds of work – Reverse Push Up
etc. until you complete the 6 rounds. Your timer will let you know when it’s over.
This was about 10 minutes of working out and because this workout is 20 minutes long, you have to repeat the entire circuit one more time starting with Jump Lunges & Mountain Climbers :)
Stay strong, never give up!
