ShareIf you have ZERO equipment, how can you make your workout MORE challenging so that you burn more calories and rev your metabolism?
Good question…
In just a minute, I’ll share with you an old school training technique I’ve been experimenting with that can make your workouts more effective.
To increase your workout intensity without going to the gym, you have two options:
(A) Progression
Instead of doing more reps, upgrade the exercise so that you are pushing yourself. You won’t be able to do as many reps, but you’ll feel the difference and crank your afterburn.
For example, here is my progression playlist for the push up:
- Wall push up
- Incline push up
- Push up
- Decline Push up
- Handstand push up
At each level, you can make it more challenging by taking one leg off the ground.
Just make sure you don’t take both feet off at once, OK? 
(B) Isometric training
A fast and furious pace with little rest isn’t the only way to get sexy results.
In fact, slowing down – and even holding still – can actually make your workouts more effective.
Enter Isometrics.
When you rush through certain exercises, without a distinct pause at certain points, you are missing out on improving your strength and stability where your body needs it the most.
Doing isometric training can help to improve your technique on tough exercise positions, like at the top of a glute bridge, or the bottom of a push up.
And the best part is these moves are non-impact, so it’s joint friendly and anyone can do it.
If you’re having trouble holding still – no worries. Short holds (up to 60 seconds) will get you high quality muscle contraction since you’re less likely to break form (remember, you’re not moving!)
Now it’s your turn to play along at home… It’s just like the game “Freeze” that your kids play
These isometric moves will elevate your heart rate to burn fast and build lean muscle.
Start by holding each exercise for 60 seconds, resting for 15-30 seconds between each move. That’s one round. Repeat for three rounds – and that’s one sexy workout!
(A) Glute bridge hold
(B) Squat hold
(C) Push up hold
(D) Split squat hold
(E) Side plank hold
