Let me cut to the chase:
It’s the one we can do
The one that gets done
The one that doesn’t’ take away from family time
We live in a world were we all constantly feel like we should be doing more
But if you build your workouts correctly, you can work your entire body- thoroughly
And not feel like you’re missing anything
That what you’re doing is “enough”
Stronger, Leaner? More muscular? Better conditioned?
If you’re a dad who knows he should be working out, but can’t seem to find the timer energy
We have had great success with folks completing 2-3 x 30min sessions a week
Here is an example of what one of those sessions could look like-
Exercises of choice:
- The Kettlebell Clean– the clean is a power based, explosive total body movement, with emphasis on the hips and legs- the posterior chain- the part of your body responsible for sprinting fast, jumping high or far, or lifting heavy.
- Press– The Press is a strength- based upper body movement that requires you tense your lower body to create a stable platform from which to push the load overhead
- Double Kettlebell Front Squat– The squat is a great total body exercise that primarily increases strength in the lower body and core.
Session A:
Kettlebell Clean & Press: 15mins
-Perform as many quality sets as of 2 reps in 15 mins
Rest 5mins
Double Kettlebell Front Squat: 15mins
-Perform as many quality sets of 5 reps in 15mins
Rest as needed between sets to maintain quality. Here are some guideline you can use to know when to STOP and START each set:
- Stop a Set When:
- Your rep speed decreases
- Your technique changes
- Start a Set When:
- You can use the “Talk TEst” which means you can talk normally without grasping for air between words
Yep training can really be that simple. You can have a great family life and continue to get healthier and stronger
