(퍼온글) 미 해병대 훈련법
Often people send me workouts that they created for my opinion. This week an email prompted me to write about many of the varieties of workouts that you can create using a circuit program.
Often people like to use the circuit workout as a form to quickly get through a workout routine yet still workout effectively. Here are some examples of a few of the varieties of the routines you can develop:
The Bodyweight Full-body Routine
I like to alternate an upper body and a lower body exercise into a challenging non-stop routine then follow it up with a moderate form of cardio exercise.
Warm-up / stretch
Pull-ups - max reps
Squats - 20-30 reps
Pushups - max reps 1 minute
Lunges - 10/leg
Sit-ups - max reps 1 minute
Lower back extensions - 1 minute
Repeat above 3-4 times
This workout will require no weights and will work the push and pull muscles of the upper body, the front and back of the torso, as well as the legs.
The Weights / Machine Full-body Workout
Similarly to the above workout, you can use barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells, and weight machines to complete this routine:
Warm-up / Stretch
Pullups or Pulldowns - 10-15 reps
Bench Press - 10-15 reps
Leg Press - 10-15 reps
Rest with crunches - 30-50 reps
Dumbbell Mix - in one movement - squats, bicep curls, military press, tricep extensions 10-15 reps
Woodchopper Squats - 10-15
Bent over rows - 10-15 / arm
One Arm Snatch lifts - 10-15/arm
Push press - 10-15 reps
This workout requires a gym or a variety of weight systems to use to complete, but will work the push / pull muscles of the upper-body, the legs, as well as the kinetic links of full-body movements.
The Classic Push / Pull Workout
This workout is for the quick upper body routine if you like to split your routines into upper body and lower body workouts on alternating days:
Warm-up / Stretch
Pullups – 50% max reps
Bench Press - 50% bodyweight - max reps
Bicep Curls - 10-20 reps
Pushups - 50% max reps
Abs of choice - 50 reps
Bent over rows - 10-20 reps
Dips - 10-20 reps
Pull-downs - 10,10,10 (wide, regular, reverse grip)
Reverse flies - 10-20
Pushups - max reps
Abs of choice - 50 reps
Repeat as many times as needed
These are just a few of the many ways you can mix in a variety of exercises to produce an effective routine that will quickly help you reach the results you are seeking. once again, the circuit is designed so you do not have to rest during the workout, BUT you actually rest muscle groups while working opposing muscle groups.
