Tuesday Training: Bodyweight Fat Blasting Twenty Minute Workout
This is a workout that will push you to your max. The goal is to do as many rounds as possible (AMRAP) in twenty minutes at a high intensity pace (your best effort!).
I love these types of workouts because it will push you both physically and mentally and when the timer goes off, you should be spent.
This is also a great workout to do if you are traveling since it requires no equipment.
At first glace, this workout might seem simple, but don’t let it fool you. If you push yourself to your max, you are guaranteed to get an amazing workout. Go as hard and fast as you can and see how many rounds you can complete within 20 minutes. Ready? GO!
Directions:
Warm up for a few minutes to get your heart pumping and muscles primed. Do some jumping jacks, kick your legs back and forth, do some arm circles, etc. Once you are warmed up, set a timer for 20 minutes. Complete the prescribed reps before moving onto the next exercise. Repeat until the timer goes off.
Bodyweight Squats – 20
Burpees – 10
Pushups – 10
Butterfly Situps – 10
Stand as tall as you can with your feet shoulder width apart. Hold your arms out in front of you at shoulder level. Lower your body as far as you can by pushing your hips back and bending your knees. Don’t round your lower back and keep your torso as upright as possible. Your thighs should be parallel to the floor. Push yourself back up to starting position.
Get into a pushup position. You should form a straight line from your ankles to your head. Lower your body until your chest nearly touches the floor. Push yourself back up. Modified version: Get on your knees. If you cannot do pushups on your knees, stand against a wall and do wall pushups.
Sit tall and press your feet together with your knees out wide. Curl back until your shoulder blades are touching the floor. Reach your arms behind your head and touch the floor. Curl back up and reach your arms past your toes and touch the floor in front of you. That’s one rep.
