Alternative Exercises / Training Methods
I was just wondering if most of you guys stuck to the traditional weights etc...or if you liked to mix it up now and again?
Ive included a few things here for something a bit different that do the business.
1) A weight Free (Well you use your bodyweight) Workout.
30 x Handstand Press Ups
100 x Normal press Ups
100 x Wide Press Ups
100 x Narrow Press ups (NOT DIAMOND PRESS UPS)
200 x Hindu Squats
50 x Pull Ups
50 Diamond Press Ups
50 x Hindu Press Ups
Sit Ups
2) Randy Couture (UFC Competitor) Workout
Do 8 Sets with a 60 Sec Rest between sets.
Use fairly light weight as it kicks in.
8 Bent over Rows
8 Upright Rows
8 Front Shoulder Press
8 Goodmornings
8 Split Squats – Each side
8 Back Squats with a Shoulder Press
8 Straight leg Deadlifts
3) Matt Fureys Royal Court
Hindu Press Ups – Simply do as many as possible between 300 to 1000 + (As many as possible)
Hindu Squats –As above - Between 300 to 1000+ (As many as possible)
Neck Bridge – Whatever you can do.
4)
Full Burpees – Including a press up.
Mark out two spots 5m apart. After performing the burpees walk to the other mark then do next set. The walk is the rest.
30 + is the target, and rated very fit.
Do 30 burpees, then 29 Burpees, then 28, then 27.......down to 1.
If too much start at 20 and work up to 30.
Just a couple...do you have any good ones you can pass on?
