Bodyweight Fitness Video Using Interval Training

I’ve gotten a lot of emails from my fitness tips newsletter subscribers asking about certain bodyweight or interval training exercises.

If you’ve been a subscriber or have been reading this blog for awhile, you know I talk a lot about the power of bodyweight exercises and high intensity interval training.

Below is a short video based on a routine similar to what I talked about in this post ==>> Bodyweight Fitness & Conditioning

At the beginning of the video I explained the purpose of it and went over briefly the types of routines I’ve been talking about but the audio didn’t come out well so I’ll restate it here.

Each exercise lasted 20 seconds (going all out for the entire 20 seconds) followed by 10 seconds of rest (again, based on the Tabata protocol I talk about in a lot of my cardio articles).

The video takes you through the following eight exercises:

Jumping Jacks
Bodyweight Squat
Lunges
Burpee (without Push Up)
Alternate Knees
Side Hops
Jump Squats

I cut out the rest intervals so you wouldn’t have to waste time seeing me stand there and breath heavily.

I also did the exercises at a relatively easy pace so you could see them, as well as showing you a front and side view on some of them. On the Burpee, I even paused, so you could see the steps of the exercise. You don’t need to do this when performing it. It should be a fluid motion, more like the very last rep you see me do.

It would take you four minutes to complete a circuit. If you can do more take a minute or two of rest and run through it a second or even third time. If you dare.

Oh, and yes, I know it’s off center. It was centered when I set it up but the wind moved the camera. A storm was getting ready to roll in.

As you can see boydweight fitness routines like this can be done in a very small space. All you need to do is get your butt off the couch and do a circuit during commercials.
