Alternative to Traditional Conditioning

Here is a workout I did this past Saturday. This is an example of metabolic resistance training. If you are not getting the desired results from hoping on a treadmill, bike, or (ugh) elliptical for 30 - 45 minutes give this a try.

Warm-up:
Foam Roll
Stretches (2 or 3, whatever you want)
Continuous warm-up
Corrective Exercise

Circuit 1:
Push ups x 10 - 15 reps
Body Weight Squats 10 - 15 reps
Dips 10 - 15 reps
Inverted Row 10 - 15 reps

Perform the four exercises with no rest in between, rest 90 seconds, repeat, rest 90 seconds, go to circuit 2

Circuit 2:
Single leg deadlift x 10 each side (go with 15 - 20 lb dumbbell)
DB Split Squat x 10 each side (10 - 15 lb dumbbells)
Stability Ball DB fly x 15 (10 - 15 lb dumbbells)
Super Plank x 10

Perform the four exercises with no rest in between, rest 90 seconds, repeat, collapse into fetal position.

• Inverted Row - touch chest to bar
• Single leg deadlift - keep hips level. If right leg is working (still on floor) point right toes to the left to help level hips
• Stability Ball DB fly - shoulders and head rest on ball. Keep hips up!
• Super Plank - start on elbows, push to hands one at a time, perform push up. that is one rep.

Give it a try. Fun stuff.
