My recommended FE-Life workout today follows a repetition pyramid. You will need a kettlebell, a pull-up bar, and a mat.
- Target Muscles: full body
- 1-10 Difficulty Rating: 8.5
- Workout Time: 25 minutes
The Workout
Ensure that your muscles are warm; I recommend doing the Moji warm-up.
Go through the following pyramid twice (rest for three minutes between pyramids).
- five Turkish get-ups per side using a kettlebell
- ten pull-ups
- fifteen star-jumps
- twenty v-ups
- twenty-five kettlebell swings
- thirty push-up burpees
- twenty-five kettlebell swings
- twenty v-ups
- fifteen star jumps
- ten pull-ups
- five Turkish get-ups
Modification Options
If two pyramids are too much initially, do only one. You can do assisted pull-ups if need be; though, try to do dead hangs.
Bonus Add-on
Go for a brisk walk or a casual jog of at least two-miles a few hours before or after the workout.
Note
I post a new workout each day of the week. Clearly, “rest days” are prudent in anyone’s workout schedule. My advice is to select four or five of the workouts I recommend in a week, and do them over four or five days—one workout per day; rest on the other days. I always list the target muscles each routine calls upon. It would be wise to choose workouts that address the entire body over a given week.
