Yesterday, I was in the mood for anintense workoutbut I didn't feel like spending more than 30 minutes in the gym. So I got in there on a serious mission and left the gym having done one of the best workouts yet.
Here's what went down. 11:00-11:05 Jogging on treadmill to warm-up followed by a few dynamic stretches (ie. leg swings, frog walk-ins, inch worms) 11:05-11:15 Strength endurance tri-set consisting of deadlifts x 6RM, front squats x 6RM, and box jumps x 6. This tri-set was repeated with absolutely NO rest for the duration of 4 sets. WOW, was my heart jumping out of my chest! 11:15-11:25 The next tri-set shattered my upper body and consisted of DB bench press x 6RM, kipping pull-ups (to failure), and stability ball roll-outs. Again, repeated for 4 sets with NO rest at all. Needless to say, by this point I was pretty toast. 11:25-11:30 Crawled onto the bike to cool-down for about 5 minutes and rehydrate. As you can probably tell, I killed my muscles and got a great cardiovascular workout as well. If I were to monitor my heart rate during this workout I would say that I was definitely above 85% max HR for at least 20 minutes. That's pretty intense! I'm not a huge fan of spending a lot time in the gym. In fact, I think I should get a discount because I spend so little time in there even though I go about 4-5 times per week. YURI P.S. This is a fantastic example of a calorie-crunchingweight loss workout. |
