Free Fat Burning Workout | Park Bench Workout
This Fat X 101 workout is another that follows my EPE (effective, practical, efficient) method. Anyone can do it, you don't even need official TRX straps, you can use anything that will allow you to pull yourself into an upright position. Also, while this is geared for an advanced beginner or intermediate fitness level, keep in mind that the speed and number of rounds you complete will dictate the impact if will have on your metabolic processes.
In other words, beginners will be able to finish 10-12 rounds. If you're an advanced athlete, go faster and tax your metabolic processes more my doing more work in the same amount of time. You'd be taking advantage of EDT (escalating density training). Remember that power output is important and we always want to harness the power of simple physics.
Power = Work/Time
When time is a constant, the way to increase power is to increase the amount of work done. In this workout, your increase the work load by completing more rounds.
If you're new to Fat X 101, one of the secrets to Fat X 101 workouts is quantifiability. Track your workouts!
The first exercise is an Incline Push-up. If you're a beginner this will be challenging, if you're not a beginner, ramp up the speed, or switch it out for a regular Push-up.
The second exercise is a Dead Man Row. Outdoor workouts can lack pulling movements/exercises. Some parks or outdoor areas even lack a place to attach suspension straps (TRX straps). This exercise takes care of that problem as long as you have a bench. Most parks do. When pulling yourself into an upright position, you'll bend your knees slightly. Think of rowing a boat.
The third exercise is a basic Step-up. I like to replace my foot on the elevated surface or bench in this case instead of bringing both legs/feet down. You can keep tension on the muscles and add to the physical tax this way.
Last but not least, this circuit finishes off with an abs/core exercise. The Knees to Chest exercise is simple, yet effective. When you extend your legs, try keeping them above your butt level.
