The Arm Killer
Oct 28th
This is a tough little magic workout that fatigues the arms, works the pectoral muscles, abdominals, arms, back, buttocks, legs, and the heart through the cardiovascular workout and the skipping.
This workout will take around 25-30 minutes depending on how many breaks you take. It makes use of jump rope, plyometric training, and bodyweight training.
This can be performed anywhere, but somewhere like a laminate floor or gym based floor is best. Concrete is harsh on the joints, and grass will more than likely slow the speed of jump rope. Put a good album on which motivates you, and try a take at break when you reach 10 reps. More >
The Buzzer
Oct 15th
This workout only takes 35 minutes, but makes you buzz with health afterward. It includes my favourite exercise, jump rope, and weight training exercises performed with a medicine ball and free weights. It is a killer on the muscles. It is only three sets of twelve reps, but it’s enough to cause a burn and help build those powerful muscles.
Equipment required
- Medicine Ball
- Jump rope
- Stability ball
- 20-40kg barbells
- 1 dumbbell More >
Skipping Workout 2
Sep 29th
I love skipping, and if you’re new to my blogs, you’ll find that I use skipping in every one of my workouts. This workout only takes 20 minutes, but it’s very intensive and keeps the heart rate up. It can be performed anywhere too. You need only a skipping rope and a stop watch or if there’s a clock on the wall watch the hand.
The Workout
For each minute of skipping you will perform 10 double unders (the rope slips under the feet twice). Double unders are tough, and you have to make sure you jump high enough for the rope to slip under the feet twice before the feet land for another jump. Double unders boost the heart rate and are great for improving the fitness in a short period of time.
Try not to take any breaks throughout. As it’s a fairly long time to skip, experiment with your moves. Perhaps perform one minute of heel digs, another minute of jumping jacks, and another minute of hopping on one foot for thirty seconds. The twenty minutes of skipping is yours to play with as long as you add ten double unders for each minute. More >
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)
- Bench More >
