Muscle Killer
Sep 9th
This exercise invoves skipping (surely you must know I love this activity by now), body weight training and weight training. This workout I’ve named the Muscle Killer works the cardiovascular system and the anaerobic system. When working the heart, sure calories are burned during and a little after the workout, but it’s the tough muscle workouts that really shift the flab, and burn fat for up to 48 hours afterward. This workout takes about 45 minutes. Add some great motivating music and let’s get started.
Equipment required
- Skipping rope
- Mat
- 20kg weights (or more if you can)
- Stability Ball
- Medicine ball (6 – 10 kg)

The Muscle Killer
Jul 21st
I freely admit that I didn’t get a tough workout in last week, besides spinning and body pump. Life is sometimes hectic, as it was for me last week.
Anyway, back to basics. Here is a shortish workout of around 30 minutes, but sweat, you hopefully wll.
Equipment required:
- An incline, perhaps a box or if training from home, a pouff
- Mat
- 7-10kg dumbells
- Skipping rope (I love my rope)
- Music (primarily for motivation – optional)
- Stability ball – optional
The Workout:
- Gently warm up the muscles by skipping lightly or marching on the spot. After five minutes of briskly skipping, jogging or marching, step up the workout and skip a little faster. Jump rope for a song length or around 5 minutes.
- Pick up the weights, minimum of 7kg and perform 10 one-legged deadlifts on each leg. Remember to only briefly bend the knee but bring the weight up thigh height, keeping the back straight. That’s one rep. Perform ten on each leg. More >
