  • High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) Bodyweight Circuit

    OK this little circuit has made me feel less than conscious a few times…

    The key is to PUSH yourself to your limits… that’s why it’s such a short workout – because you can’t push yourself hard during long workouts – you’ll inevitably pace yourself because you know you’ve got to get through it.

    Check out the video then read the details after the jump:

  • Medicine Ball High Intensity Interval Training

    Thought I’d make up for last post’s little joke exercise and give you something real.

    Here’s a simple little workout to do instead of standard 1 min hard, 1 min easy running for your interval training.

    Using the medicine ball for side tosses integrates core power in the transverse (rotational) plane (think punches, kicks, throws), and the back tosses train your triple extension (think posturing on the ground and takedowns while standing). So you get some MMA-specific movements while doing intervals. Nice!
