Here are a few exercises that I include in my workouts. People often ask me what I do for exercise. These are a few. I also like to add sprinting in between or rowing or some other form of interval work. This makes for a tremendous challenge. If you have questions about my workouts or are interested in how to improve your fitness or would like to lose some weight comment. Shoot me an email. stanimal@trainwithstanimal.com. If you live near Glen Ellyn or Schaumburg, I train in these areas.

This is an update on a post I wrote a while ago. Updated for variations available to use this concept for total body workout or leg workout indoors or out.

I use this workout for legs and use it for a total body workout. Here we go. This is a sample used as a leg workout.

3 min. walk warmup
Interval 1 – 3 min. walk 8 incline, speed depending on your fitness level, 3.0 -4.5
jump off treadmill, hands on head, 20 prisoner squats
10 jump squat
Interval 2 – 2 min. jog 4 incline, speed 5.0-8.0
jump off, 20 walking lunge with dumbells
15 squats on bosu or other balance equipment
Interval 3 – 1 min. run 2 incline, speed 6.0-10
20 ball bridge
20 single leg deadlift (10 each leg)
Interval 4 – 30 second sprint 1 incline, speed 7.5-15 again depending on your fitness level
30 crunches and 1 min. of plank (core hold)

Repeat

That should take almost an hour and you should be ready to sit down for a while.

To make it total body substitute your favorite upper and lower body exercises on the breaks, e.g. squat presses, push ups, chin ups, dips, etc.

Let me know what you think.
