Hey Cathletes. I have a trainer through work (I know - seethe with jealousy!) and he put me through my fav workout yesterday. Today: ouch. Thought I would share as it is something we all can do - even on vacation hee hee. Goes like this:
1. Pick 6 - 8 exercises. For full body let's say: squats, push ups, crunches, hyperextensions, bicep curls, pull ups, lunges or leg curls, triceps dips.
2. Pick one - that is your hub. Let's use push-ups.
3. Now start: round 1 you do 10 push-ups, then 10 squats, then 10 push-ups, then 10 crunches, then 10 push-ups then 10 hyperextensions, push-ups, curls push ups, lunges, push-ups, dips.
4. Next hub round: your hub is squats - intersperse squats with each exercise of the eight.
Your goal is to do 8 full "hub rounds" (if you are doing 8 exercises). Yesterday we did 6 exercises/rounds, then finished with plank work and "supermans".
The key is keep moving (so have your equipment ready - I do all free weights, ball and lo equipment exercises for ease). Keep the reps to no more than 10 and weights fairly moderate to low. (You think 10 lbs for curls are easy, until you get to your like 4th or 5th set...). It's circuit-y, resistance-y, cardio-ish. One hour should do it.
You will sweat, you will groan, you will collapse, you will burn baby!
Try it and good luck! And btw if you r thinking of copyrighting this, it already is and appears on my trainer's trainser's personal DVD she uses to train others. I know - I thought of it too
