Today, I'm excited to reveal a workout plan that I've spent a decade perfecting.
While I know perfection is hard to come by, this program is the closest thing to it.
Although I love spending time in the gym, it is great to get a workout in withing 45 minutes.
My specific goals are to build muscle, stay lean, maintain high energy levels, and prevent injuries.
After years of trial and error, a lot of work and feedback with my clients, I've developed a workout program that accomplishes all these goals in 45 minutes or less.
Here's what a typical day looks like:
Step 1 - The 5-Minute Warm Up
Before diving into any workout, I always start with a quick warm-up to prevent injuries and increase performance. This consists of short mobility drills and a power cardio exercise. Here's an example of a circuit that I did before my last full-body workout. Perform 2 rounds of:
Leg swings x 10 each side
World's Greatest Stretch x 5 reps each exercise per side
Cossack squat x 5 each side
Walkouts x 10
Step 2 - Metabolic Strength Workouts
The Metabolic Strength Workouts are full-body circuit trainings that combine opposing muscle groups. This allows me to hit all major muscle groups and build strength while improving my cardio.
Here's an example of the full-body workout I did:
Goblet squat x 8 reps + Dumbbell bench press x 8 reps (4 sets)
Reverse Lunge x 12 reps each side + Back Rows x 12 reps (3 sets)
Bicep curls x 15 reps + Pushups x 15 reps + Hanging knee raises x 15 reps (3 sets)
Take 60 seconds rest between sets.
In total, this workout takes me no more than 25 minutes to complete.
Step 3 - The Cool Down
After an intense workout, it's crucial to allow your body to recover. By transitioning your body into a "parasympathetic" (rest & digest) state, you can improve recovery, relaxation, and digestion. The best way to achieve this is through box breathing.
Here are the steps for box breathing:
Step 1: Sit down.
Step 2: Breathe in through your nose, counting to four slowly. Feel the air enter your lungs.
Step 3: Hold your breath for 4 seconds. Try to avoid inhaling or exhaling for 4 seconds.
Step 4: Slowly exhale through your nose for 4 seconds.
Step 5: Repeat steps 1 to 3 for 2 minutes, or until you feel re-centered.
In summary, this workout plan achieves all my fitness goals in 45 minutes or less. You don't need to spend hours in the gym to get a great workout in; it's all about the quality of your workout.
So why not give this workout plan a try?
You could complete it in less time than it takes to watch an episode of Succession (minus the last season).
Have an epic day,
