Workouts When You Can’t Make It To The Gym

I love seeing folks at boot camp but I know life gets busy and makes it hard to be consistent at times.  With that said I want to provide you with a quick workout you can do at home with minimum equipment.  It’s called the complete workout because it targets the whole body and uses the complete number seven.  This workout is designed to keep you consistent with your workouts even when you can’t make it to the gym.  My goal is to help you maintain the habit of working out.

The Complete Workout requires a set or two of heavy dumbbells (heavy for you) and a heavy kettle bell or two for the squats and one arm row. Get a weight that’s going to challenge you on a shoulder press at 7 reps, so make it as heavy as you can tolerate.

Complete the 7 exercises below circuit style with 20-30 seconds rest as needed between exercises.  Do 7 reps each and complete the circuit 3-7 times dependent on how much time you have.  You may add the dumbbells or kettle bell to any of the exercise you feel comfortable with.  Remember challenging yourself every day is key.

Exercises:
Push-ups or Modified Push-up
One Arm Row
Shoulder Press
Squats
Lunge
Jump Squats (No Weight)
Shoulder Tap Planks (7 taps each shoulder)

Helping you maintain a habit of training every day,
Jeff
