Bodyweight workout special!

Hey guys!  I’ve got a brutal workout for you that I just received in an email from Craig Ballantyne.  Give this one a try!

Craig’s Tuscan – Energy Bodyweight Workout Routine

The 4 – minute pushup test.  How many can you do?

Followed by an excellent “Bodyweight Countdown Ladder” workout.

Prisoner Squat – 20 reps

Close-grip Pushup – 20 reps

Alternating Lunges – 20 reps per side

Mountain Climbers – 20 reps per side

Do each exercise without resting between them.  In the next round, do 19 reps per move, and so on until you count all the way down to just 1 rep.  This should take about 25 minutes.

You could also start at 15 reps (intermediate) or 10 reps (beginner, with NO lunges).

Alternatively, you could do an ascending ladder for some of the exercises, starting at 1 rep and counting up with each set.

The variety in exercises and rep ranges is almost endless.

If you have any friends you think might enjoy this workout, send ‘em along!  Why not compete against each other and see how you do! 

Also, something I really encourage you to do is check out Shawna Kaminski’s and Kate Vidulich’s workout programs.  You can do them anywhere from 8 – 20 minutes, and play mix and match.  It’s impossible to get bored with their routines.
