Simple Life, A Minimalist Approach to Training and Exercise
Simple Life, A Minimalist Approach to Training and Exercise
Most people don’t have much time to do anything. No thanks to technology, which is supposed to make life easier. Instead it allows more stuff to be piled on to an already overflowing plate. As the owner FitWorkz of a 24 hour commercial gym and hybrid training center, I can tell you that MOST have only 8-10 times per month to exercise.
That means you can forget the 6-day per week bodybuilding Joe Meathead approach to training. Your schedule simply does not allow for it. It also means that you need a programming that can be done in a short amount of time a few times a week that will still produce results. Results in terms of maintained or improved health and quality of life.
At FitWorkz we offer functional training that fits bill. This type of training 2-3 times per week gets the job done. In the field results from members and clients proves it. But what if you can’t get to the gym regularly because of work or family commitments?
Enter the simple life, minimalist approach to exercise and training and exercise that you can do at home.
You need a few pieces of equipment. Check out craigslist, eBay, Facebook market place, varage sale… you get the idea. All you need are a few dumbbells or even one barbell with a few plates. You are not looking for an entire gym. Look for deals! There are plenty of people looking to sell equipment for cheap and some happy to let you have it as long as you come pick it up.
Here is a program similar to the one I did today.
Pullup (do them off the rafters, a beam,
Dumbbell Goblet Squat
Dumbbell Squat Press
Dumbbell Incline Row
Dumbbell Deadlift
Dumbbell Hang Clean
Med Ball Slam
Dumbbell Heavy Carry
Plank to Pushup Position
Rest 30 Seconds
Do six rounds or giant sets or circuits or whatever vernacular is the norm where you are.
First Round
6 Reps
Second Round
5 Reps
Third Round
4 Reps
Fourth Round
3 Reps
Fifth Round
2 Reps
Sixth Round
1 Rep
This will take all of 20-30 minutes. If not less!
