Advanced 12 minute bodyweight interval workout.


This workout requires very little space, and ofcourse YOU.  I use the Gymboss timer available from here but is also available from Ebay. I was wearing my SKINS today which really help with the burn that you might feel when doing intensive high endurance workouts. Skins are available from here or you could always try Ebay.

 

 

 

There are four exercises in this workout. The first two, Sissy/Spider Squats & Walk on Ceiling ABS, are done for 45 seconds each with a 15 second rest before you continue to the next set until you have done all four sets. 

 

 

 

1. Sissy - Spider Squats do 4 sets of 45 seconds work and 15 seconds rest 

 

 

 

2. Walk on Ceiling ABS do 4 sets of 45 seconds work and 15 seconds rest 

 

 

The third exercise is called Push Up Hold and this one is a little tricky. You need to hold the plank position in a push up position for 45 seconds and when the buzzer goes off do as many full range push ups as possible within the 15 seconds. When the buzzer goes off again repeat this a second time without rest. It's a good idea to record your results. Mine are posted on the video itself.

 

3. Push Up Hold do 2 sets of 45 seconds static hold and 15 seconds maximum reps

 

4. Upside down Bridge do 2 sets of 45 seconds work and 15 seconds rest 



 

Like usual, this very short routine is a lot more difficult than it looks. The use of slow, controlled, and consistent technique as demonstrated in the video, makes this workout what it is. Pay particular attention to the speed of movement, breathing technique, steady stance and movement, and correct body alignment. At the end of the day these are the things that make the difference in making your workout effective or ineffective.

 

 

Pay attention to the pauses during each rep. For example, your heels need to be elevated throughout each set of the Spider or Sissy Squats. Perfect balance is imperative to keep constant tension on the muscle. It is this constant tension that prevents the muscle from resting during a rep and consequently resulting in enough muscle fatigue to induce overload and hence a change. Resting when you are not supposed to will reduce the effectiveness of any exercise and any workout. It is this fact that separates the men from the boys at the end of the day and why some people get great results while others always seem to just get average results.



Pause the video many times so you can understand exactly how to do the workout the way it was designed. Only when you are confident and know what to do should you do the workout.

 

 

Always follow our two rules as noted here to guarantee success, then share your results and post your comments on our blog. In the meantime have a look at the nutrition section for my Post Workout Meal.
