Sprint Routine #1
Notice how Dr. Stephen maintains a great “plank” platform position – most people think a push up is an upper body exercise; it’s also a core exercise.
The first few, you’re thinking ‘Okay, I can do this’. After 25, they’ll have your attention
There’s more to this than meets the eye. It’s a full body, demanding movement, no question about it.
The Push Jerk can be done with a PVC pipe, broom handle, or as Dr. Ryan demonstrates, with an empty bar. The motion is very healthy for the shoulder joint, the upper back and postural muscles.
Combining the Push Jerk with Jumping Chins, Burpees and/or Sit Ups creates a thorough full-body workout.
Here’s Dr. Stephen with some substantial weight thrown into the mix:
I know, Dr. Stephen makes everything look easy, but this variation of the “Crunch” is a core builder. Alternate with sets of push ups, squats and pull ups for a total body workout (sets of ten each for 4-5 rounds, no stopping).
Leap into great agility and fitness with this fantastic full-body single exercise – it’s harder than it looks (have we said that before?). Notice that Dr. Stephen is doing this with a weighted vest.
Thrusters rock – they combine a squat with a shoulder press, both done deliberately and safely. This is a fantastic stand alone exercise or even workout.
This is a super simple but great movement to do on a regular basis – like Overhead Squats, Kettlebell Swings help “undo” the bad effects of all the sitting we do (like me creating this post – dang!)
