Workout of the week : 30 minute dynamite session

Home / Personal Training / Workout of the week : 30 minute dynamite session

Here’s a 30 minute workout built for explosiveness, cardio and strength. This type of functional training is what we love here at the Aspire Club. Now it’s for you to practice what we preach!

After a thorough 10-15 minute warm up (treadmill @ 4-5 mph)you can start. Note that these exercises are supposed to be performed by clusters of 3 (divided in phases as you’ll see).

It’s a kind of circuit training that you’ll have to perform as follows :

Phase 1 , first group – perform exercise number 1 to 3 with the prescribed repetitions 3 times in a row. Then rest for 2-3 minutes and proceed to the second phase. Repeat as phase 1, then rest and proceed to the last phase. This way you’ll have performed 3 sets of each of the 9 exercises for a total of 27 sets in 30 minutes.

You’ve been warned: this routine is extremely taxing but also extremely effective!

PHASE 1

EXERCISE 1 : HALF-SQUAT WITH JUMPS (IF YOUR JOINTS PERMIT)


 

 

 

 

8 TO 10 REPETITIONS (load the barbell so you can reach the 10th rep with difficulty but still with good form)

 

EXERCISE 2 : AB-BALL


 

 

 

12 to 15 REPETITIONS

 

EXERCISE 3 : WEIGHTED PUSH-UPS (BEGINNERS : PUSH-UPS ON YOUR KNEES)


 

 

 

 

8 to 10 REPETITIONS (if you feel like the exercice is too easy add some weight on your back)


AFTER COMPLETING THESE 3 EXERCISES 3 TIMES IN A ROW, REST FOR 2-3 MINUTES THEN MOVE ON TO THE NEXT PHASE.
