To
do so, you need to eliminate irrelevant exercises. I know you want to
do an exercise for shoulders, and one for arms, and one for abs, and
one for this and that. But before you do, ask yourself, will these
really get me to my goal, or have I just been convinced by bodybuilding
magazines that I need 40 sets per workout to get results?
Now,
taking those lessons, we can then create some pretty incredible
bodyweight workouts as well. And these bodyweight workouts can get
finished fast!
In fact, here is a 7-minute
bodyweight circuit that can help you lose weight, burn calories, and
blast your metabolism. You don't need machines or weights. You can do
this anywhere!
Bodyweight squat (10-20 reps)
Pushup (10-20 reps) - do it on your knees if you must
Reverse Lunge (10 reps per leg)
Plank (30 second hold)
Close-grip Pushup (10-20 reps)
Side Plank (20 second hold per side)
Mountain Climber (10 reps per side)
Do this with no rest between exercises. Rest 1 minute at the end of the 7-minute circuit and repeat up to 3 times.
If you are a beginner, do fewer reps and take longer rests.
It's
a tough, tough bodyweight circuit, especially the combination of two
exercises late in the circuit. This combo literally exhausted me to my
knees...twice...before I was able to finish the circuit.You can do the
circuit up to 3 times.
Another weapon in your fat loss arsenal. Now you'll know how to train efficiently and eat effectively for fat loss.
Don't
wait any longer to get started! Get all of these bodyweight exercises,
and more, in the Turbulence Training workouts that you can do in the
comfort of your own home. No more annoying drives to the gym, waiting

workout your way - at home with only a bench, a ball, and dumbbells.
