So, this workout was fun, tough and shows that exercise can be so simple when you just use your body π
I like to incorporate General Physical Preparedness into my workouts (GPP). It's what the military and many other great all-round athletes utilise plus it's doable in just a few minutes so you can easily fit it into your busy lifestyle.
And if you're training in the gym for muscle size and fat loss it's likely you've got some gaps in your training to be able to perform as a fully functioning human. Factor in rest and recovery and this can only compliment your routine.
The workout:
- 5-10 mins warm up of mobility drills and raising core temperature.
- Max press ups
- Max bodyweight Squats
- Max sit ups
- 60s bear crawl
- 30s duck walk (because 60s was pure evilπ€£)
- 60s crab crawl
All you need to do is record the number of each max exercise and beat it next time! π
Me personally, I'll rest and go again in about 10 days but it depends on how I go in the mean time. In between will be Yoga, weights and Kettlebells but optimising recovery.
I believe we should have more of a training philosophy, rather than just following programmes regardless of how we are in our bodies.
