The 2 Best Exercises

Q: If you are short on time but still want to get in a good workout. What should you do?

A: Well definitely do not skip a workout. Even if you only have 10-15 min. you can still get in a great workout with these two exercises. The Barbell Squat and Pull-Up. With these two exercise you will work just about every muscle in your body. If you cannot do a pull-up use rubberbands to assist you or perform an inverted row. And no the Smith Squat and DB Squat do not count as a squat.

With just these two exercises you can create many different workouts. The Pull-Up has many variations and all of them are great and you can either do a Barbell Back Squat or Barbell Front Squat.

Here is a sample of a Challenging 10 min. workout.

Warm-up: Jumping Jacks 2 x25 (rest 10 seconds in between the two sets)

Pull-Up as many as possible
BB Back Squat 8 reps
Rest 30 seconds
L Pull-Up as many as possible
BB Front Squat 8 reps
Rest 30 seconds
Pull-Up as many as possible
BB Back Squat as many as possible

*only rest where I have specified.

Done!! Short and Sweet.

FARMERS WALK RELAY

Try this high itnensity carrying workout at the end of your your workout for an extra calorie burn or as I prefer in place of traditional cardio training. Start with three sets of DB's starting with the lightest set and carry them for 20 yards, then set them down and run back and pick up the next heaviest set and carry them down and run back and grab the heaviest set and carry them down and then do 25 jumping jacks and repeat this relay 4 times with no rest. Make sure you are using the heaviest DB's that you can carry to provide the best workout. By performing cardio training this way you will not burn off valuable muscles tissue and you will save a large amount of time. Try it out and let me know what you think.
