Last Wednesday I put myself through a tough interval workout in High Park near my place in Toronto.
Afterward I headed right back to the office and went straight to my computer to answer questions in the TT member’s area and to see how all the members were doing with their Transformation Workouts.
Then I stumbled across an unusual post from a fellow Canadian and new member, Mike Cheliak. He and I had been discussing off-day body Weight circuit training, and he wrote in this inspirational
story to share with you…
“I did the Total Body Ten Body Weight Circuit today as my day off ‘activity’. When I got to the gym there were a couple guys and a girl beginning their usual Eliptical routines…
…but I convinced them to join me in the Aerobics room and we gutted out 3 circuits of the Total Body Ten program. It was great!
What a perfect way to get some good intense activity in without tiring yourself out on a day off! We may all start a “club” on Wednesdays to do this. I think it was a great motivator doing it with other people. We all pushed each other and had fun doing it.
I highly recommend this to anyone looking for some fun activity. You could easily do it at home but I have to say that it was a LOT more fun doing it with a group!”
Mike’s right, and the Total Body Ten is a great workout that I included in the TT for Fat Loss manual to give the “go-getters” something to do on their off-days from TT. You can also use this circuit in place of regular interval training, if you don’t have access to a cardio machine. The general format of the circuit goes like this…
- Easy lower body exercise for warm-up.
- Moderate upper body pushing exercise for warm-up.
- Single-leg exercise.
- High-rep upper body pushing exercise.
- High-rep Squat.
- High-rep total body ab exercise.
- Single-leg exercise.
- Tough upper body pushing exercise.
- Lower body posterior chain exercise.
- Tough upper body pulling exercise.
