FREE Workout # 142 March 2 2012

Todays workout is a mixture of lifting large loads long distances quickly and Gymnastics.

Death by:

1. Body weight Dead lift 
2. Chin ups

The way this works is on the first minute you complete 1 rep of the two exercises. Every minute there after you add 1 repetition to the number you must complete of each exercise. On the 2nd minute you will do 2 DL and 2 Chin ups. On the 10th minute you will do 10 DLs and 10 chin ups.

Good Luck

Follow up with a 5km time trial

FREE workout #141 is...

Check out this picture. This was a google images search of fitness and look what comes up, machines, machines, more machines and skipping. Is this really our idea of fitness? Is this really what we need to part take in fitness? I strongly suggest it is not. 

TrickyFit is done rain hail or shine. We were born with emotions, feelings and the capacity to appreciate beauty so all cardio machines will be replaced with actual moving except the rowing  machine which is an excellent developer of hip extension and is a full body workout. Due to the lack of access most people have to a lake I will let this one slide. 

Todays TrickyFit workout is...

100 Double unders

100 push ups

80 Sit ups

60 pull ups

50 double unders

40 push ups

30 sit ups

20 push ups

To complete this workout you will need a skipping rope and a chin up bar. A skipping rope can be $20 AUD or $5 AUD so there is no excuse for not having one. They are affordable and will develop a great amount of cardiovascular fitness and speed. For the pull ups, go to a playground, suspend some steel in your pergola or grab hold of a strong tree branch and pull your chin above the height of your  hands. Push up and sit ups require no equipment. 

Definitions:

Double Under - The act of skipping where the rope rotates twice under your feet with each jump. If you cannot achieve this don't fret, it requires a lot of practise and you will get there. In the mean time for this workout substitute double unders with singles and you will do 200 singles the first time and 100 singles the second.

Pull Ups - Pulling your chin above you hands hanging suspended from the ground....Too hard?? Try holding a rail with your feet on the ground and pull your chest to the bar. This will develop transferable strength that will develop your capacity to succeed at pull ups in the future.

TrickyFit FREE workouts began when I realised that people don't know how to get fit. Train like me and you will. Traditional gyms provide old methods of cardio and weights with very little guidance, instruction or advice on how intense you should go or why. My workouts are a maximal effort every time (except the warm up). Speed and load taken through full body movements will get you full body results. Have a look at sprinters, weightlifters and boxers, they all move with extraordinary power and this is through developing strength and speed. You may not want the body of a weightlifter or a sprinter and what i say to you is this. These athletes burn extraordinary amounts of calories, fat and energy in the way that they train, You don't get FAT overnight and you don't become the HULK overnight either so let's build generate some results the smart way by following TrickyFit programming. Start today if you haven't already.

Snatch Day

Work up to a 1RM

8,4,3,2,1,1

The weightlifting snatch is a complex movement. I requires a fast jump and high pull, then you pull under the bar and land in a squat stance and tighten up like hell to catch the load above head. Stand and you have it.

A NEAT ATTITUDE - Thanks BOB

A little over a month ago my cousin approached me wanting to get fit for  his trip to Europe, shed 10 plus kilograms and feel more confident with his body. We will call him BOB to keep his name private. Well BOB has turned up to his 3 training sessions with the most positive refreshing attitude. He is willing to try new things, mimics my movements and brings an intensity that will generate the results he desires. Every week is different, we do boxing, sprints and KB squats 1 week and another week we do push ups, sit ups and lunges for time. That is just an example of the last 2 weeks. What I have noticed in life in general, as people get older they tend to get set in their ways and close themselves off from new things. What inspires me most about BOB is that he is so ready to move towards his goals. BOB brings the attitude of an athlete, the intensity of an athlete and chooses to have fun doing it. As a trainer I love to coach, but I also get to learn a lot from what makes a successful athlete.

Lets all take a leaf out of BOB's book and bring the attitude and intensity of an athlete to our Personal training this week.

Stick with it and tell me your thoughts.
