AT-HOME WORKOUT OPTION

This workout is an interval training program you can do at home or when you don’t have access to weights. The purpose is to stimulate both our aerobic and anaerobic energy pathways. Essentially we’re trying to combine the benefits of both a traditional cardio workout like jogging, with the benefits of a traditional weightlifting program.

Through combining traditional bodyweight workouts such as push-ups, lunges, and squats with higher volume repetitions and minimal rest periods (40-60 seconds) we’ll be providing our bodies the best opportunity to burn excess body fat while stimulating lean muscular development. In order to optimize both of these benefits we must keep a close eye on our rest period duration. Now when we start working out it’s going to be easier to only rest 40 seconds because we are full of energy. By the time we get through the third round of this exercise program, it will likely become more difficult. So be mindful of your body, all we ask is that you try your best. If by round 3 you feel taking a longer break is what you need, then do so. But remember doing a little more and a little better each and every time is how we earn our results.

So here’s how we’d like you to complete the workout. After you’ve completed your first set of jumping jacks, rest 40-60 seconds, or as long as it takes for you to catch your breath, but no longer. Then jump right into workout #2 which is bodyweight squats. After you’ve completed your bodyweight squats we’d like you to rest again for the same length of time followed by the third exercise, push-ups. The idea here is to perform each workout in succession. Once you’ve completed all 6 exercises back to back, please start back at the top of the order. Our initial goal is to complete at least 3 full rounds or 18 exercises in a single workout session.

You’ll also notice that we provide various rep ranges for each exercise as well. This adds another level of customization, meaning this program is well suited for everyone no matter where you’re starting from in your fitness journey. If you’re unable to reach the lower end of the rep range—no problem, just take a short breather, and do your best to complete the minimum amount of reps. Be sure to turn on your favorite pump-up music jams and get after it! We have everything to gain and nothing to lose.
