Fancy a workout? Try ‘sweaty fantastic’

August 10, 2011 Suzie

Some clients of mine are familiar with this workout i nicknamed ‘sweaty fantastic’ and i am sure they are cringing.

Sweaty fantastic is just as it’s title describes, you sweat a lot and that is a fantastic thing! This is just a little workout to spice up your gym routine and give yourself some variety.

It consists of:

2 minutes on the treadmill – Your effort must be at approx 70 – 80% (save your 100% effort for next!)
Followed directly by 20 squats.

Repeat 3 times with NO rest in between rounds, I want you pressing pause and getting straight back on as soon as it is finished.

NO REST Next machine!

2 minutes on cross trainer (elliptical) make sure you add on some resistance (effort level option should be on the machine)
20 step lunges (step forward, lunge, step back and change legs)

Repeat 3 times, no rest in between sets

NO REST Next Machine!

2 minutes on rowing machine (this time I want you to take note of your distance and beat it in following rounds)
20 push ups

Repeat 3 times with no rest in between sets

NOW you can relax 🙂

Not a member of a gym? If you only have access to one of these machines or even a bike do your 2 minute rounds on your piece of equipment and then do the corresponding strength exercises.

No equipment? Get outside and start jogging/running!

Can’t get outside right now? Jogging on the spot, skipping rope, star jumps etc for 2 minutes then the corresponding strength exercises.

See where there’s a will there’s a way – you’re out of excuses!

 

Have fun!! GO HARD!!
