Fat X 101

Replacement Fat X Exercises

By
I often get messages from people that are doing the Fat X Program (FX 12) and they are concerned because they don't have the necessary equipment to do the exercises.  Here's a list of the most common exercises in the Fat X Program that people need replaced due to lack of equipment.

Pull Ups: If you can't do pull ups, or don't have the equipment to do pull downs, you can replace them with another pulling or upper back exercise like rows.  You can also use rubber tubing. (FX Day 3)

Sand Bag Slam:  If you don't have a sand bag, you can use a medicine ball, or make a heavy slamming object with old rags wrapped up in duct tape.  You can place something heavy in the middle to make the exercise more demanding.  The sandbag I use in my FX Boot Camp is currently about 35 lbs. (FX Day 12)

Bench Crawl:  You don't necessarily need to crawl under a bench, you can just crawl for a short distance. (FX Day 6)

For any exercise that requires dumbbells, you can either use a barbell or heavy water jugs.  You can also use dumbbells instead of a barbell.  (FX Day 2)

Don't let the lack of equipment stop you from getting in a good workout, burning the fat and losing that unwanted weight.  Be creative.  There's all kinds of things you can use to add resistance.

(Some fitness companies are not going to be happy with me.)

Advanced Tip for Better Workouts and Improved Results

Have you ever had a peanut butter and garlic sandwich?   Yeah, me neither! Peanut butter is delicious and so is garlic (used properly). But, while each is a good ingredient on its own, together they make for a disaster. You can view exercises and how they are implemented in a workout in the same way.  Think of exercises as ingredients. Exercises  can work well together like peanut butter and jelly, or, they can suck and waste your time and energy.   There’s a very important concept I learned many years ago that can improve your results, not only in fitness and any fitness goal such as fat loss, increasing strength, speed etc., but also in such things as cooking, music, art and many other realms of life.   What’s that concept?
