Total Body Weight Training Workout For Fat Loss

8/23/2018

0 Comments

 
This week's workout is a full body weight training workout designed to lose body fat but keep your all important muscle.

Most people try to lose weight with diet and cardio which is a noble method but they risk losing quite a bit of muscle.

Having muscle is good to preserve weight loss as it is metabolically active and burns calories throughout the day - not loads, but every piece of the puzzle helps.

This workout is designed to work the front and back of the body to give you a well balanced weight loss workout. You'll be burning calories for a few hours after this workout.

Warm Up:
  • Pick the first 4 exercises and perform 10-12 reps of each exercise at about 50% of the weight you would use during the workout.

Workout:
  • The exercises are to be performed in pairs. E.g. A1 + A2 for 3 sets. B1 + B2 for 3 sets and so on.
  • Example. Perform A1 and go straight to A2. Then rest for 60-90 secs and repeat 2 more times.
  • Then move on to B1 + B2.
  • Perform all the pairs for the desired repetitions.

Cooldown:
  • Nice easy walk on the treadmill for a few mins OR
  • Breathing exercises to slow the body down OR
  • Stretch all the major muscles used.

If you have any questions, feel free to comment below or email john@humandesign.com.au

This workout can be performed 1-3 times per week on non-consecutive days.

Total Body Toning Home Workout

8/22/2018

0 Comments

 
This weeks workout is a full body home toning workout.

I have used one piece of equipment called a Resistance Band and you can purchase them onine or at any sports store.

I recommend the Power Tubes as they are versatile and easy to use.

I recommend using bands because most home workouts do not use the back muscles and most people become strong in the shoulders and chest and very weak in the upper back.

This is not good if you are a desk bound office worker as it will lead to poor posture and potential shoulder injuries if you train a lot.

How To Perform The Workout:

Warm up:
  • Perform each exercise for 5-10 reps at a controlled pace. 

Workout:
  • Perform the 6 exercises in a row and then rest for 1-2 minutes depending on your fitness level.
  • Round 1 - perform 10 reps of each exercise. When it is a single sided exercise like lunges, perform 10 reps on each leg.
  • Round 2 - perform 15 reps of each exercise.
  • Round 3 - perform 20 reps of each exercise.

Cooldown:
  • Stretch all major muscles used.

Relentless Consistency

The real secret to you getting fitter, leaner and stronger is Relentless Consistency.

Have a look at something you are good at today?

Maybe it’s teaching.

Maybe it’s cycling.

Maybe it’s climbing, lifting, being a good friend.

How did you get good at it?

You probably started with small habits and kept doing them until they were engrained and became a part of who you are on a daily basis.


Getting in shape or losing weight is no different.

Start with something you like doing and do it consistently and let it become a daily habit. 

Show up. Do the work. Start with easy things first and things you WANT to do.

Do not run if you hate it.

Do not dead-lift, squat or bench if you hate it. 

Build healthy habits on top of each other and by the end of the year you will be practicing things on autopilot.

​Going to the gym or going for a run will not be a chore anymore.
