How to Do Bodyweight Interval Cardio Circuits

Did some bodyweight interval cardio circuits last night as part of two solid hours of filming, including all the videos for my upcoming October Workout of the Month...

"TT Bodyweight Cardio"

You're going to love it! In fact, you'll love my system - outlined below - on how to do bodyweight cardio with little or NO equipment.

Funny enough, I also received a great question yesterday...

Q: "How to I set up bodyweight cardio circuits?"

My Answer:

When putting together a BW circuit, I like to go in this order:

1) A fast, dynamic bodyweight exercise (jumping jacks or running in place)

2) A bodyweight squat (total body warmup) - Prisoner Squat or Y-Squat

3) An easy pushup (regular or close grip, kneeling if you are a beginner)

4) A single-leg exercise (such as a walking lunge with a pause at bottom to stretch psoas and rectus femoris - aka "hip flexors")

5) An upper back exercise (pullups, inverted rows, or resistance band rows if you don't have a bar; or stickups if you have nothing at all)

6) Another single-leg exercise

7) A total body ab exercise (x-body mountain climbers are great)

8] Another total body, fast paced exercise (burpees, jump rope, jumping jacks, sprints, running in place, etc)

Do this as 1 giant circuit. No rest between exercises. Rest 1 minute at the end of the circuit and go through this 1-3 more times depending on your fitness level.

BEGINNERS should only go through this once, and at an easy pace AND with REST between exercises. Be CONSERVATIVE anytime you start a new program.

So have a great time with these fun bodyweight cardio workouts...

Then say goodbye to long, slow, boring, montonous cardio forever,

"As a professional firefighter, personal fitness is very important to me.  I found the Turbulence Training bodyweight program to be an excellent way to keep my workouts fresh and high paced while achieving my desired results.  I would recommend this program to anyone who is serious about losing weight and  reaching their fitness goals."

"CB has done it again!  The bodyweight program has some of the toughest workouts out there today.  After just 4 weeks of
bodyweight training (I skipped the initial phases an went right to "advanced"), I went from plateauing at 15 chin-ups to maxing out at 22!  Who needs to go to a gym?  With this manual, you're using the best conditioning tool known to man - the human body!"
