1 00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:05,920 Speaker 1: Welcome to Fitness Disrupted, a production of My Heart Radio. 2 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:18,520 Speaker 1: I am Tom Holland and this is Fitness Disrugti. So 3 00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:23,160 Speaker 1: many things I love about doing this podcast, and one 4 00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:25,720 Speaker 1: of the top things is that I get to bring 5 00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:30,200 Speaker 1: you whatever content I want. Thank you I Heart Radio 6 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:32,560 Speaker 1: for that freedom. But that is how I have set 7 00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:36,239 Speaker 1: up my career, my life, because there's no way I'm 8 00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:37,800 Speaker 1: going to bring you content that I don't believe it. 9 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:41,960 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be told what to do, especially in 10 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:47,680 Speaker 1: this industry where that's a problem that people are beholding 11 00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,520 Speaker 1: to the products and the advertisers and all of that stuff, 12 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,519 Speaker 1: and I'm not And I love that, and I love 13 00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:58,279 Speaker 1: that I can bring you so much different content from 14 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 1: the science to the studies of the interviews, to my 15 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 1: stories about my experiences over the years in this industry, 16 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 1: and something like today, which is pure actionable information. It's 17 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 1: a workout. I'm gonna give you an awesome ten minute workout, 18 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:24,480 Speaker 1: no equipment required, you can do anywhere, any time, and 19 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:32,080 Speaker 1: it's totally free. You know. That's amazing. And some of 20 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 1: you may say I love it, some of you may 21 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:35,480 Speaker 1: say that's not for me, But that's what this show 22 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:37,920 Speaker 1: is about. Two. It's about finding what you like, what 23 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:42,959 Speaker 1: resonates with you. Now, I would argue this workout being 24 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 1: body weight and modifiable for everyone. Hopefully many of you 25 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 1: try it at the very least and then make it 26 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 1: part of your fitness arsenal as I like to call it. 27 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 1: There is no one way I do everything. I use machines, 28 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 1: I use free weights, I use bands, I use body weight. 29 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 1: I love telling that story about the potential client who 30 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:22,120 Speaker 1: walked into my office years ago, sat down for the first, 31 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 1: just initial session figure out what they needed, and the 32 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:33,080 Speaker 1: person asked me, what are you? And it took me 33 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,079 Speaker 1: just a couple of seconds to figure out what they meant, 34 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 1: and the question was, what's your deal like? Are you 35 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:48,239 Speaker 1: the vegan, the paleo, the body weight only, the machine only, 36 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,640 Speaker 1: the free weight only, no, all of the above. It 37 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:57,959 Speaker 1: was so eye opening in a unique way. My success 38 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:02,240 Speaker 1: at fifty two, my injury free claim after so many 39 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 1: races and experiences all over the world, is a result 40 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 1: of everything I bring to you, all the variation, all 41 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:15,919 Speaker 1: the excessive moderation, all the common sense along with the science. 42 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 1: It's hard to sell. To take me a really long 43 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 1: time to be able to bring it to you in 44 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:30,800 Speaker 1: this format fashion because moderation is really hard to sell, 45 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 1: and science it's really hard to sell and distill down 46 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 1: for the masses because we want the quick fix. I'm 47 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 1: not going to bring you the quick fix, going to 48 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 1: bring you a lifetime of results to live your best life. 49 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 1: All right, So this is a quick, easy show. Love 50 00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 1: it now. It's a little different in that. You know, 51 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 1: years ago when I was doing my radio shows and 52 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 1: yes the you know, I had a website where I 53 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 1: could drive you when I would do a show like this. 54 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 1: It's even easier today. What do I mean by that? Well, 55 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you the workout and some of you 56 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 1: are gonna say, well, I have no idea what that 57 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,479 Speaker 1: exercises or how to do that. Well, if you have 58 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:20,599 Speaker 1: those questions, this workout will live on my Instagram page 59 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 1: just to give you even more content. So grab a pencil, 60 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 1: being the old school person that I am, or get 61 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 1: your computer phone ready if you want to write down 62 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 1: these exercises. But again, you can go to my Instagram 63 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 1: page Tom h Fit and see the video and see 64 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 1: the exercises written out right there as well. Okay, so 65 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:49,799 Speaker 1: ten minute body weight circuit coming up after this short break, 66 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 1: So let me just talk really quickly about circuit training. 67 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 1: Many of you have heard of it, some of you 68 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 1: do it. What is it? It's just maximizing your time 69 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:16,920 Speaker 1: and your results, doing one exercise after the other with 70 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 1: little to no rest in between. Now, many people, especially 71 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:28,279 Speaker 1: those older who grew up with the Schwarzenegger's and people 72 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:31,719 Speaker 1: like that, bodybuilder type workouts and belief that that was 73 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:37,280 Speaker 1: how strength training had to be done. Okay, bodybuilder type workouts. 74 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:41,160 Speaker 1: The magazines were filled with these workouts, and what did 75 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 1: they entail well, going to the gym right, Boring workouts, 76 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:53,279 Speaker 1: I would argue, for the vast majority of people, three 77 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:58,360 Speaker 1: to four sets of the same exercise resting in between. Now, 78 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 1: if that's something you enjoy, awesome, But most people don't. 79 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:08,159 Speaker 1: And those workouts also take a really long time, depending 80 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,600 Speaker 1: on your goals and results. But they're boring and they 81 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 1: take a long time, and they're essentially for bodybuilders for 82 00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:17,280 Speaker 1: the most part, or people who enjoy going to the 83 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 1: gym for longer periods of time, which again most people don't. 84 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:30,480 Speaker 1: So circuit training is a solution for so many people. 85 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 1: Why shorter workouts? Shorter workouts? Many people don't want that hour. 86 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,279 Speaker 1: Many people don't want to go to the gym, or 87 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 1: you want to be able to mix it up. And 88 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:49,279 Speaker 1: that's what I do, and that's what I was saying 89 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 1: at the start of the show, all of the different 90 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 1: types of workouts. There is no one way. And ideally 91 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:56,600 Speaker 1: you may go to the gym a couple of times 92 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 1: a week, you may do a handful of workouts at home, 93 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,280 Speaker 1: you may work out outside. You're gonna do body weight, 94 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 1: you're gonna do free weights, you're gonna do machines, You're 95 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:10,560 Speaker 1: going to do a variety of things. But that's been 96 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 1: what people have thought of when they have thought about 97 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 1: strength training. Do set of bicep curls, rest for sixty seconds, 98 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 1: Do a second set of bicep curls, rest for sixty seconds, 99 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 1: do a third set of button So boring now, not 100 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 1: for me when I was in my twenties, loved it. 101 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 1: Part of my job in my life and you know 102 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 1: my work. But for many of you, mind numbingly boring 103 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,320 Speaker 1: and you're not gonna do it, and you don't have to. 104 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 1: That's the that's the great news. And once again I'm 105 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 1: not just saying it. This is science. Now, I don't 106 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 1: want to and won't get into, you know, the studies 107 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 1: for this show, but I'm gonna give you just one. 108 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 1: And it's more a paper and I talked about it 109 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 1: and use it in my book, The Micro Workout Plan, 110 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 1: which is totally connected to what I'm talking about here. 111 00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 1: But this was in the American College of Sports Medicine, 112 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 1: Health and Fitness Journal, May June two, and it was 113 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 1: just a great paper discussion. And the title is high 114 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 1: intensity interval training using body weight, maximum results with minimal investment, 115 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 1: And it says it all right there in the title, 116 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 1: but I want to make one qualification. It doesn't have 117 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 1: to be high intensity to get results. And so for 118 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 1: this paper they used twelve exercises which used body weight, 119 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 1: a chair in a wall, and for my workout, you 120 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 1: just need body weight, you don't need the chair, and 121 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:38,040 Speaker 1: you don't need the wall. The takeaway from this paper 122 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:42,200 Speaker 1: was high intensity circuit training is an extremely efficient way 123 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 1: to decrease body fat, improve insulin sensitivity VO to max, 124 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 1: and overall muscular fitness using just your body weight. Awesome. 125 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:55,840 Speaker 1: Now v O two max discussion for another day. But 126 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 1: my point is that is generally connected to that high intensity. 127 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,440 Speaker 1: We don't need that. You can do it if you want, 128 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,080 Speaker 1: and when I give you the format of the workout, 129 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 1: it will make more sense. You can modify it any 130 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:08,800 Speaker 1: way you want. But my point is once you start 131 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 1: going higher intensity, greater likelihood of injury. So especially for 132 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 1: those just starting out, you're gonna go easier. So don't 133 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:23,679 Speaker 1: think you gotta kill yourself because you don't. Okay, So 134 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 1: you don't have to go high intensity. We just have 135 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 1: to work our body, keep moving. And for my workout, 136 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 1: it's a full body workout, it's a full body workout. 137 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 1: So what is the format now? This format goes back 138 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 1: to my original fitness videos. I have hosted dozens of 139 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:50,920 Speaker 1: DVDs and hundreds of short workout videos for both lex 140 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 1: and things like that. My three minute plank for both flexs. 141 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 1: I think it's up to fifteen million views, and it's 142 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 1: circuit training. Three minutes, five minutes, ten minutes. My original 143 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 1: fitness video, Tom Holland's Total Body Workout one many years 144 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,320 Speaker 1: ago before I did the ABS diet workout in Supreme 145 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,319 Speaker 1: ninety day and videos for Herbal Life and so many others. 146 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 1: It was circuit training because it was exactly what I 147 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:21,680 Speaker 1: believed in a workout that I designed for my wife 148 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 1: with my wife and mind busy people who don't want 149 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:26,720 Speaker 1: to do a bodybuilding workout, who don't want to go 150 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:30,680 Speaker 1: to the gym, and that workout forty some odd minutes 151 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 1: with dumbbells. It was not with body weight, but with dumbells. 152 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 1: Very similar though to what I'm gonna give you, And 153 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 1: then I said, okay, people want a little more advanced 154 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 1: and shorter time. Came out with Tom Holland's Total Body 155 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 1: Workout two, which was twenty some odd minutes in length 156 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 1: and just took upper body and lower body exercises put 157 00:10:52,200 --> 00:11:00,840 Speaker 1: him together circuit training format, more challenging, but same concept. Okay, 158 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:06,679 Speaker 1: So for this ten minute total body workout with just 159 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:11,920 Speaker 1: your body weight, the format is simple lower body exercise, 160 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:17,440 Speaker 1: upper body exercise, core or abdominal exercise, and then a 161 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:23,200 Speaker 1: cardio interval. Same format I used in those original videos. 162 00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 1: And what I love is people are still using them today. 163 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 1: They're still buying them, and I put them up digitally 164 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:36,680 Speaker 1: now in my virtual gym, Tom Holland Fitness dot Com. 165 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:42,840 Speaker 1: They will always work. Now. You want variation, but you 166 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:47,599 Speaker 1: want the basics, right, So lower body, upper body, abdominal 167 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,360 Speaker 1: and cardio. Now there's gonna be some repetition, especially for 168 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 1: upper body with body weight, but it's the exercises that work. Okay, 169 00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,320 Speaker 1: let's get right to it, all right. If you have 170 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 1: a pencil ready, if you're gonna write this down, this 171 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,840 Speaker 1: is the time to get ready for that. And it 172 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:13,199 Speaker 1: is basically sixteen exercises, but in that format, that repetitive 173 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:17,079 Speaker 1: circuit training format, different sets. But there's gonna be a 174 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:20,560 Speaker 1: warm up, a cool down, and then sixteen exercises. Okay, 175 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 1: but it's four by four essentially. Okay, four rounds of 176 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 1: lower upper abs cardio. So effective, so effective. So the 177 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:39,199 Speaker 1: warm up really simply running in place. Now you can 178 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:42,840 Speaker 1: do whatever you want. You can do it, jumping Jack's 179 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 1: you can do you know, whatever you want for that minute. 180 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,719 Speaker 1: But I love running in place, slow, progressive. That's the 181 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 1: way we want to get our body warmed up, get 182 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 1: the blood flowing to the muscles that are about to work. Now, 183 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 1: the warm up and the cool down are the only 184 00:12:56,920 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 1: time you're gonna do a minute, and every thing after 185 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:05,600 Speaker 1: that is thirty seconds. Thirty seconds. Let me just say 186 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 1: this real quickly. To back to the bodybuilder type workout, 187 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 1: that rest period for so many people unnecessary. If you're 188 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 1: doing maximum bench press, maximum squats, lifting heavyweights, absolutely need 189 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:23,679 Speaker 1: the rest period. If you're not, and your goal is 190 00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 1: to lose weight, build muscle, look better, feel better, live longer, 191 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 1: circuit training should be a huge part of your routine. Okay, 192 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 1: So that rest period is wasted time when I see 193 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 1: people at the gym, you know, taking all that rest 194 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,960 Speaker 1: period when they're not lifting heavy weights. Now again, I 195 00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 1: get it. Social, you know, fine, if you're gonna be 196 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 1: there an and a half. All I'm saying is when 197 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:52,960 Speaker 1: I'm maximizing my time, there's no rest periods, and that 198 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 1: keeps your heart rate elevated. Not high intensity for the 199 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,840 Speaker 1: most part, but high enough that you're increasing your co worker. 200 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:04,439 Speaker 1: So you're building muscle, you're building fitness, you're doing great 201 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:08,560 Speaker 1: things for your body, and you're burning calories. Okay, so 202 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:12,200 Speaker 1: there is a cardio vascular effect when you don't rest. 203 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 1: Makes complete sense, right. Okay, So one minute running in 204 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 1: place anything you want, cardio low level, get the body 205 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 1: warmed up, and then we get right into it. And 206 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 1: it's the basics. People, All of the shows I have done, 207 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 1: the power of the squat, the push up, the plank, 208 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 1: the crunch, they're all in this workout, and for good reason, 209 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 1: all right, So you do that one minute warm up, 210 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,680 Speaker 1: and then we go to thirty seconds of squats. Boom, 211 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 1: thirty seconds of squats, you transition right away, thirty seconds 212 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:50,400 Speaker 1: push ups, thirty seconds of crunches. That's round number one. Squats, 213 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:59,560 Speaker 1: push ups, crunches, cardio, lower body, upper body apps. Round two. 214 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 1: Here we go, and again I'm gonna give you all 215 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 1: you know ideas. You can do, mix and match whatever 216 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 1: you want, but I would say try it this way 217 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 1: and then start to add variation and when and where 218 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,160 Speaker 1: you want. All right. So we started with running in place. 219 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 1: Now we're going to jumping Jack's a little bit more 220 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,880 Speaker 1: intense for most people than an easy jog, and for 221 00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:24,520 Speaker 1: good reason, this is progressive. So jumping Jack's thirty seconds. Now, 222 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:30,560 Speaker 1: then you go right into alternating forward lunch, right leg forward, 223 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 1: step back, left leg forward, step back. Now we have movements. 224 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 1: We started with squats stationary, a little easier for most people. 225 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:44,560 Speaker 1: Now adding that movement in now we're getting functional. Always 226 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:46,680 Speaker 1: hesitate to say to throw those words out there, because 227 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 1: all strength is functional, but more real world type movements 228 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 1: with movement okay, So alternating forward lunch thirty seconds, then 229 00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:04,360 Speaker 1: drop down again, push ups thirty seconds, and then you're 230 00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 1: in that push up position already, go right into a plank. 231 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 1: Hold that for thirty seconds. Round two done, Jumping Jack's 232 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:18,080 Speaker 1: alternating forward lunges, push ups, planks, That plank is done, 233 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 1: Jump back up, cardio interval number three. Skaters. I love 234 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 1: skaters because they're now lateral movement as well. So you're 235 00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 1: not only burning calories, you're not only you know, moving 236 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 1: in a functional, fun way, I'd argue, but now we're 237 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,680 Speaker 1: adding lateral movement in which we don't do enough of. 238 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,840 Speaker 1: And for all of you basketball tennis, you know people 239 00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:46,320 Speaker 1: out there, especially older my age and up, we need 240 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 1: these movements. We don't do them enough. When you run, 241 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:51,360 Speaker 1: when you get on an elliptical, when you ride a 242 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:55,040 Speaker 1: bike that's front to back, and so many of the 243 00:16:55,160 --> 00:17:00,200 Speaker 1: injuries we experience are because we don't con and you 244 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 1: to move laterally and strengthen ourselves latterly. So awesome skaters. 245 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:07,080 Speaker 1: Side to side. You jump to one side, you jump 246 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,760 Speaker 1: to the other side. You go as fast or as 247 00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 1: slow as you want. Thirty seconds. Now we did alternating 248 00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:19,520 Speaker 1: forward lunch alternating backward lunch thirty seconds. Step back with 249 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:22,879 Speaker 1: your right leg, and when you step back, you're working 250 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,600 Speaker 1: the front leg. So when I step back with my 251 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:27,960 Speaker 1: right leg, I am working the left. When I step 252 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,680 Speaker 1: back with the left, I'm working the right. Thirty seconds, 253 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 1: alternating backward lunch. Third set, push ups. I know many 254 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,600 Speaker 1: of you are going I hate push ups. If you 255 00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,440 Speaker 1: hate them, if you don't do them frequently, they're gonna 256 00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:45,199 Speaker 1: be that much more effective for you. If you do 257 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:51,200 Speaker 1: them frequently, Awesome, You're gonna do a handful of sets here. 258 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 1: One of the most effective body weight exercises push ups. 259 00:17:56,600 --> 00:18:02,320 Speaker 1: Thirty seconds. AB exercise reverse crunch. Now, that's confusing too 260 00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:04,320 Speaker 1: many people. Probably the first exercise many of people. I 261 00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:05,960 Speaker 1: don't know what that is. You're lying on your back 262 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 1: and instead of bringing your upper body up in a 263 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 1: traditional crunch, you bring your legs up ninety degrees, so 264 00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,840 Speaker 1: now they're up in the air and you reach a 265 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 1: tiny bit and then pull those knees to your chest. 266 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,119 Speaker 1: So if you want to call it a lower ab exercise, fine. 267 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:25,440 Speaker 1: I don't like full extension with the legs. I don't 268 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:27,800 Speaker 1: like the six inch drill. For the vast majority of people. 269 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:33,640 Speaker 1: The stress on the lower back is exponential and unnecessary 270 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:35,879 Speaker 1: to achieve the results. So reach a little bit away 271 00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,320 Speaker 1: from your body with your feet and then pull those 272 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:41,200 Speaker 1: knees back to your chest towards your chest, so legs 273 00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:44,240 Speaker 1: are up in the air. Ninety degrees, reverse crunch, quick break. 274 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:59,399 Speaker 1: We'll be right back. So mountain climbers not my favorite exercise, 275 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 1: I do it infrequently, but it's perfect for this circuit. 276 00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:05,960 Speaker 1: So what are mountain climbers. You're in a push up 277 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:09,439 Speaker 1: position or applying position, and now you alternate driving one 278 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:11,959 Speaker 1: knee towards your chest and the other so you're basically 279 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:16,199 Speaker 1: running in place in a push up position, driving right 280 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:20,240 Speaker 1: knee up, left knee up, alternating again. This will be 281 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:27,680 Speaker 1: on Instagram page if you need clarification. So, mountain climbers cardio, 282 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 1: there's an ab component, core component al right, now final round. 283 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 1: Now we're getting more advanced. It's a progression. There's method 284 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:44,560 Speaker 1: to this madness. Pop squats, so that is a squat 285 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:46,920 Speaker 1: where you just you go down into a squat, come up. 286 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,520 Speaker 1: When you come up, jump a little bit. Appliometric the 287 00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:55,399 Speaker 1: first pliometric movement in this routine, and it's at the 288 00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,280 Speaker 1: end for a reason. You're warmed up. That's the time 289 00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:00,920 Speaker 1: to start doing plio's right now. If that's too hard 290 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:04,159 Speaker 1: for you, stick with a regular squad. But ideally I 291 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,640 Speaker 1: want all of you to be able to do this 292 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 1: routine because the vast majority of you can. I don't 293 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:13,679 Speaker 1: care where you start from. Modify, take breaks when you 294 00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 1: need to, but over time you will be able to 295 00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:21,400 Speaker 1: do it. Just about everyone. Okay, so pop squat down 296 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:23,200 Speaker 1: into a squad, just like we did at the start, 297 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:25,800 Speaker 1: and then when you come up, jump up in the air, 298 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,159 Speaker 1: get a couple you know, an inch or two or 299 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:31,520 Speaker 1: three underneath your feet, and do that. Thirty seconds. Everything 300 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:35,680 Speaker 1: is still thirty seconds, final set dropped down. Now your heart, 301 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,159 Speaker 1: it's going to be racing because we're primetric. We just jumped. 302 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:42,120 Speaker 1: You're burning more cowaries. Towards the end, push ups. Drop 303 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:45,760 Speaker 1: down into the pushups. Final set. Thirty seconds. Four awesome 304 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:49,159 Speaker 1: sets of push ups, people, and thirty seconds is the 305 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,679 Speaker 1: perfect amount of time. And this is why we go 306 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:53,840 Speaker 1: by time. Some of you may do one or two 307 00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,040 Speaker 1: or three push ups in thirty seconds. Especially as you 308 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 1: progress through this routine, some of you may do ten, twelve. 309 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:04,359 Speaker 1: Don't go too fast, slow, controlled movements for everything. But 310 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:08,240 Speaker 1: that's what I love about time based intervals. You do 311 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:10,480 Speaker 1: what you can do, and you take rest if and 312 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:16,200 Speaker 1: when you need to. All right, drop down, final ab exercise. 313 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:19,480 Speaker 1: For those of you who have listened to prior shows, 314 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:21,720 Speaker 1: you know how much I love the bicycle crunch because 315 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 1: it is so effective and science tells us so bicycle 316 00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:33,359 Speaker 1: crunch again, saving the intensity for the end. Bicycle crunch, 317 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 1: and this is challenging. You went from pop squads to 318 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,440 Speaker 1: push ups. You flipped right over bicycle crunch thirty seconds 319 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:46,760 Speaker 1: and then we're really gonna bring it home. Burpies. I 320 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:51,080 Speaker 1: don't like burpies. I rarely do them, but I'm throwing 321 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:55,640 Speaker 1: them in here, throwing them in. Finishing up with one 322 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:59,600 Speaker 1: of the most challenging, the most challenging exercise in this 323 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:04,080 Speaker 1: sequence and burke super high intensity for most people. You 324 00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,159 Speaker 1: drop down into a push up position, you throw your 325 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 1: legs out, you bring them back, and you jump up 326 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,600 Speaker 1: in the air. Different ways to do it, but that's 327 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:17,160 Speaker 1: the basic format. And then final minute back to where 328 00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 1: we started. Cool down, running in place, nice and easy. 329 00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,119 Speaker 1: One minute, start with a minute, finished with a minute. 330 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:31,840 Speaker 1: Everything in between thirty seconds. People ten minute workout that 331 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:36,159 Speaker 1: if this was all you did Monday, Wednesday, Friday, ten minutes, 332 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:41,879 Speaker 1: you would see incredible results and will and when you 333 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,360 Speaker 1: mix it into your regular routine, you go, Okay, I'm 334 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:45,720 Speaker 1: gonna go to the gym a couple of times a week. 335 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:47,679 Speaker 1: As I said at the start, maybe I'm gonna do 336 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:54,680 Speaker 1: this workout once twice whatever at home. You want all 337 00:22:54,720 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 1: of these options and variations. If you have ten minute 338 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:05,920 Speaker 1: it's this is a workout to do. And stop saying 339 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 1: only in just like I only did a ten minute workout. 340 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 1: You do this correctly. It is better then what so 341 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:16,280 Speaker 1: many people. I'm gonna say it right here, it is 342 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 1: better than what so many people do at the gym 343 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:22,439 Speaker 1: for an hour. Based on what I've seen over the 344 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:25,440 Speaker 1: decades as far as results. Now, that's not to say 345 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:28,399 Speaker 1: that you're not getting results and you're not doing what 346 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:30,119 Speaker 1: you want to do. I get it. My point is, 347 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:34,719 Speaker 1: do not diminish ten minutes or fifteen minutes or five minutes. 348 00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:39,919 Speaker 1: When done correctly and done frequently, that's where success happens. 349 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,080 Speaker 1: That's the law. You've been told for so many years 350 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:43,119 Speaker 1: that you have to go to the gym, that you 351 00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:44,320 Speaker 1: have to do an hour that you have to do 352 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:47,600 Speaker 1: a half hour. No, three ten minute bouts of exercise 353 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,600 Speaker 1: has the exact same, And I would argue, if not 354 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:56,920 Speaker 1: better affects results, then one continuous thirty minute session. Why 355 00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 1: for ten A first and foremost, you're going to do 356 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,760 Speaker 1: WIT more frequently if I told you have to do 357 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 1: an hour, that's why most people don't exercise or do 358 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:11,040 Speaker 1: it infrequently at best. But when you do a ten 359 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:14,719 Speaker 1: minute full body workout on Monday, you do five minute 360 00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:18,280 Speaker 1: core routine, you know, Tuesday morning, and do go for 361 00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 1: a walk Tuesday afternoon, that's long term success. That's not deprivation, 362 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:26,919 Speaker 1: that's not killing yourself, that's not starting a program with 363 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:30,800 Speaker 1: an end date. This ten minute workout I will be 364 00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:34,280 Speaker 1: doing until the day I die, which will be like 365 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:40,200 Speaker 1: a five I told my son longest living person, the 366 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:43,200 Speaker 1: longest living person right now hundred and twelve I think 367 00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:48,639 Speaker 1: it was is. So there you go. Ten minute body 368 00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:52,840 Speaker 1: weight circuit cost you nothing, do it anywhere, at any time, 369 00:24:55,960 --> 00:25:03,840 Speaker 1: and it's super effective. And one final addition, if you're 370 00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:08,400 Speaker 1: more advanced and you want to make some modifications, an 371 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:13,360 Speaker 1: example would be those push ups. Very the push up, 372 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:18,760 Speaker 1: so keep the basic exercise right, So you do the 373 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:21,480 Speaker 1: first set. There's four rounds. First set, regular push up, 374 00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:24,159 Speaker 1: second set alternate raising and lowering a foot for the 375 00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:28,439 Speaker 1: push ups. Third set maybe Spider Man push ups. Fourth 376 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:32,639 Speaker 1: set maybe reverse Spider Man push ups, which means instead 377 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:36,639 Speaker 1: of bringing your right knee towards your right elbow, you 378 00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:39,240 Speaker 1: go right knee towards your left elbow, you tuck it underneath. 379 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:43,400 Speaker 1: So my point is keep the framework. You first of all, 380 00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:48,000 Speaker 1: keep the framework of let me backtrack here, lower body, 381 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:52,399 Speaker 1: upper body, core, cardio, and then you keep the framework 382 00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:56,479 Speaker 1: of squats you saw like I did. We did regular 383 00:25:56,520 --> 00:26:02,320 Speaker 1: squads than pop squads. The basics work. Modifying the basics 384 00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:06,399 Speaker 1: over time works even better, keeping you interested, and as 385 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:10,240 Speaker 1: you get stronger and need variation, you still do the exercise, 386 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:15,840 Speaker 1: you just do them differently. Forward lunges, backward lunges, stationary lunge. 387 00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 1: And let me give you that final final takeaway. If 388 00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,879 Speaker 1: the forward and the backward lunges are too advanced, stationary lunch, 389 00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:27,480 Speaker 1: do fifteen seconds right leg, fifteen seconds left. This is 390 00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:30,520 Speaker 1: how you progress, this is how you see results, and 391 00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:34,320 Speaker 1: this is how you don't get hurt. It's it ten 392 00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:37,879 Speaker 1: minute body weight circuit take away again.
