How to fit in a 30 Minute Workout over the Holiday

July 4, 2014 By Philip 1 Comment

 

During holiday weekends, you might find yourself out of town, or find that your gym is closed for the holidays.  This doesn’t mean that you can’t still get a great workout in!   You can still get a great workout in just using body weight exercises done in high intensity rounds; meaning you can do them just about anywhere – like your local park.

Below is an example of a Cross Fit work out called “Barbara.”   It consists of 5 rounds of the circuit listed below all done with just you body weight, with a 3 minute break in between.  Three minutes of rest might seem like a long time, but you need it.  In Cross Fit terms, “Rx” is the prescribed reps, with scaled down versions from there.  The only piece of equipment you need is a pull up bar, which you should be able to find at your closest playground.  For me, there is a park that is only a 3 minute bike ride from my house.

Barbara Pullups Pushups Situps Squats
Rx 10 30 40 50
Pack 10 20 30 40
Puppy 5 10 15 20

I did the Pack level over the weekend, because I had done some hard running this weekend.  It was still a great work out that only took me 30 minutes, including a 10 minute warm up.  So even with everything else going on today, like friends and family in town, I was still able to get in a quick, effective workout– so can you!

I've always hated exercise and getting on the floor, out of the question. Eight weeks ago, I didn't know what to expect or if I could successfully do the program. Philip was so patient with me and trained me at a level that I could sustain. I have never been excited about working out. I actually began to look forward to working out with him. At the end of the eight weeks, I feel stronger, I have more energy, and my sleep has improved. I'm even down seven pounds. I was so pleased with the results that I signed up for an additional eight weeks. Thanks Philip!  (Individual results may vary)
