Exercises – Home Body Sculpt

Some people are hermit crabs. Other people are just anti social. Some people are not too generous with cash. Others just don’t like traffic. Some people don’t like to be seen doing “exercise”, and others just prefer to motivate themselves.

Whatever your reason for wanting to workout at home, it is irrelevant.

I tend to do both. I will workout with some lighter weights for hard exercises such as clean and press and any dumbbell exercises + boxing workouts. But I will go to the gym to go hard and heavy on deadlifts, squats and bench presses. Sometimes it just depends how I am feeling. There is nothing like meeting a girl at the gym, but there is nothing like blasting “Some Kind Of Monster” by Metallica at full noise while smashing the boxing bag into submission.

Here are a few of my favorite tips for working out at home, plus an intense workout you can do with absolutely no gear.

• Make sure you set how many reps and sets you do before you even pick up the weight
• Play some music sometimes, and other times workout in silence. The motivation music brings is amazing, but the reflection and self growth that comes from the sounds and thoughts of silence is equally beautiful.
• Drink heaps of water
• Always incorporate full body workouts into your routine – even if you are doing say arms on one day, always throw in some full body workouts such as clean and press, deadlifts or squats of some variation.
• One thing I do sometimes is to end my workout with a one rep max of a couple of bodyweight exercises such as press ups or crunches, pull ups or chins.
• Record exactly what you do in your gym session, you always want to progress.

Here is a workout to help you burn fat and build a lil’ muscle:

Set the timer (if you have a laptop you can bring it with you and use This Bad Boy which is a stopwatch that rocks so hard.

Warm up by beating up your flatmates or cleaning the house then:

• 2 minutes skipping
• 1 minute burpees
• 1 minute crunches
• 1 minute lunges
• 1 minute press ups

Rest because you are lazy then:

• Hold the plank for 1 minute (youtube it)
• Squats for 1 minute
• Box jumps for 1 minute (are box jumps self explanatory?)
• If you are human, you should be a bit sore by now, if not go and run up a mountain

Until next time look good, feel good and workout like you are going to live for one more day!
