While traveling to Poughkeepsie, NY last week my client had informed me that while he was growing up in Alaska, his mother had actually taught aerobics to Sarah Palin. What a small world!
The times have changed and spandex wearing aerobics are dead! All smart group classes are now taking a more high intensity training protocol.
It is just a more effective way to get results. Look at the success of the BOOT CAMP world. People don't want cookie cutter workouts anymore. They want intensity driven, butt kicking, make myself work, forms of exercise.
That is why I wanted to share with you a little known but effective form of high intensity interval training known as Bodyweight Cardio.
Very simple, perform these exercises with fast but controlled form.
Prisoner Squat 12 reps
Push-up 12 reps
Prisoner Split - Squat (stationary lunge) 10 per side
Mt. Climber 15-25 per side
Single Leg Squat (use wall or bar for balance) 8 per side
Spiderman Climb 12-20 per side
Forward Lunge (8-10 side)
Rest :30 sec
Repeat 3-6x (depending on fitness level)
Good luck, NOW GET OUT THERE AND VOTE!
Making you sweat minus the spandex,
