Full Body Tabata Workout 2

Posted on October 17, 2013 by admin

It’s Home Workout of the Week time again! We just finished celebrating Thanksgiving this past weekend here in Canada so for many of you that means a little over indulging in turkey dinners and pumpkin pie! So to help you burn some of those excess calories consumed over the weekend I have another Full Body Tabata Workout for you to try.

This Full Body Tabata Workout has a little bit of a different structure than the last one. Instead of 8 rounds of 5 pairs of exercises there are 5 rounds of 8 pairs of exercises. This will give you more variety and work the muscles even more!

Give it a shot and let me know how you do!

Full Body Tabata Workout

Posted on October 3, 2013 by admin

Hello everyone! It’s time for another Home Workout of the Week and this week’s workout is a little more intense than usual. It’s a Full Body Tabata Workout which means the cardiovascular aspect of the routine is high so you will be burning tons of calories. You will also be working pretty much every muscle group of your body using your own body weight for resistance.

The Tabata protocol for this routine is 5 pairs of exercises with 8 rounds of each. You will work for 20 seconds followed by 10 seconds of rest until the 8 rounds are complete then rest for 1 minute before going on to the next round. A great amount of endurance is needed to complete this so if you need longer breaks in between that’s ok. You can build your way up to shorter rests over time.

So give it a try and let me know how you do!

Full Body Workout 2

Posted on September 24, 2013 by admin

Hey everyone! Last week I gave you an abdominal workout to try so I can imagine your abs were feeling it. If it hurts to cough, sneeze, or laugh then you know you did a good ab workout! This week we are going to go back to a Full Body Workout for the Home Workout of the Week.

There are four supersets in this routine with two rounds of each. Each superset will consist of an upper body exercise, a lower body exercise, a core exercise, and a cardiovascular exercise. Try to do each exercise of the superset with very little rest in between.

Full body workouts are great for boosting your metabolism and for calorie burning so give this workout a try and you’ll be well on your way to a lean, muscular physique!

Plyometric Lower Body Workout

Posted on September 10, 2013 by admin

Hey everyone! It’s Home Workout of the Week time and this week’s workout is going to really challenge your cardiovascular endurance.

I have a Plyometric Lower Body Workout for you to try and if you never heard of plyometric training before, it basically consists of powerful and fast movements which will improve the working of your nervous system which in turn will improve your overall performance. Some benefits of plyometric training include enhanced performance, increase in muscle power and calorie burning, and increased endurance.

Plyometric training is not easy and if you have knee and back problems I don’t recommend this workout as there is higher joint impact and increase risk of injury.

The following Plyometric Lower Body Workout is a shorter workout consisting of 5 exercises with jumping jacks in between each exercise. The goal is to do 3 rounds of the superset.

Have fun and let me know how you do!
