Apologies for my short absence.. work on the site is going full steam ahead, and I am uploading videos, writing exercise descriptions, creating programs and generally getting quite a large enterprise ready to release itself from the womb. Nice.
So today, I thought I would give y'all another video, which now has the Brother Gym logo on it. These videos will be a part of each and every program. When you sign up to the site, you will fill in a details but not to onerous questionnaire and I will write you all the programs you need to achieve the goals you have expressed. As part of this you will receive videos teaching you how to do the particular exercise in your program!
Today, the Body Weight Squat. This is quite a simple exercise, but one that will become the cornerstone of your workouts as it uses the largest muscles in your body, hence burning the most calories, increasing your metabolism the most and generally making you look awesome!
So video:
You can now include this exercise in the following home circuit routine!
- Warm Up - walk up and down the street, stairs or around the home at a brisk pace for 3-4 minutes. Then move all the joints in your body (ankles, knees, hips shoulders, elbows) in some sort of movement... ie ankle raises, arm swings, leg swings etc.
- Perform 3 rounds of the following
- 10 body weight squats
- 10 half or full press ups, depending on your current strength levels
- 10 crunches
- 30 second plank
- 10 tricep dips - using a chair. To make it easier, keep your knees close in, or harder by having your legs out straight.
- If you want to supercharge your workout, then go out onto the street and do 1 minute walk, 1 minute jog, 30 seconds fast run... and keep alternating for 20 minutes.
- Stretches. Stretch all your muscles. (you can follow a guide on youtube, such as here: Stretches )
Keep on workin'
