I’ve seen all types at the gym: the knuckle dragging neanderthals with bad form lifting heavy weights, making sure to slam them hard on the floor so people notice what idiots they are in every way; the tarts that do their hair, wearing makeup and tight little gym clothes so that the gorillas will notice them; the half-assed “I’m at the gym” fatties, eating their donuts while on the treadmill. Yeah, I’ve seen it all at the gym.
Me? I don’t really care what others think of me when I workout. I’m there for one purpose, one mission, and nothing else exists except my routine. I grunt. I sweat. I scream occasionally. I’ve even cried and puked. Don’t like it, don’t watch me. I’m there to push myself beyond my limitations, to sculpt my physique into what I want it to be.
I know it’s a very long process. I know it will take longer than a few weeks, or even months. It’s a consistent lifestyle; something that involves patience and willpower. It’s my zen, so to speak.
Today, I decided to try something different; a no weights workout for strength and fat burning. I always enjoy trying new workouts, keeps the muscles guessing.
Here’s the workout. I seriously encourage you to try it.
Circuit 1: (no rest inbetween exercises)
- 10 bulgarian split squat (that’s 10 per leg)
- 12 pushups
- 12 hip raises
- 12 pushups
- 12 hip raises
- 30 second side plank (30 seconds per side)
- 10 floor y raise (video shows on a ball. Do on floor instead)
- 10 floor t raise (video shows not on floor. Do on floor, palms facing forward)
- 10 floor i raise (video shows hot chicks because I couldn’t help myself. Same as t raise, except directly over your head, palms facing inwards)
- 30 second side plank (30 seconds per side)
- 10 floor y raise
- 10 floor t raise
- 10 floor i raise
That’s ONE circuit. Do three circuits, with 1 minute rest between circuits.
