Forget about those endless hours at the expensive gym, pounding away on the treadmills and elliptical machines etc. Forget the endless hours of boring, steady, repetitive cardio workouts. Have a look at this workout program and discover an innovative approach to exercise.
This exercise program consists solely of body-weight exercises, so no expensive gym memberships are required, and no expensive exercise equipment either. To get the best from this routine you will need to exercise for 2 to 3 minutes at a time for maybe 5 or 6 times a day.
These are some of the body-weight exercises you should be concentrating on :
- Body-weight squats (and variations)
- Pushups (and variations)
- Forward, reverse or walking lunges
- Up and down a staircase
- Floor planks (holding the plank position from forearms and feet)
- Floor abs exercises (lying leg thrusts, ab bicycles etc)
- One legged body-weight Romanian deadlifts
There are of course more great body-weight exercises. Feel free to include any others that you enjoy. Remember, if you don’t want to get down on the floor (maybe your at the office) you can keep things simple by sticking to squats, lunges and pushups, you will still see great results.
The beauty of this exercise workout is that 2 to 3 minutes is enough to work a large portion of your bodies muscles and increase your heart rate, but should not cause too much of a sweat.
Repetition of the individual exercises is the key to success, and its a good idea to increase the reps as time goes by.
These mini workouts really do make a difference, you will have worked your muscles and raised your heart rate 5 or 6 times during the course of the day. This will have burned up a lot of calories and helped increase your metabolic rate.
