Two days a week, my partner and I treat former college football players for Tony Villani's XPE group as they prepare themselves for the NFL combine coming up in a few weeks. We do this at Jaco Hybrid training center in Delray Beach, FL. I love going to Jaco Hybrid. Why? Because it's the most hilarious gym I've ever seen (and it's great for 'people watching).
It's got so many different stereotypes of fitness people. You've got the crossfitters in the back, with their bad form and high reps. You've got the meat heads doing ridiculous exercises to 'really feel the burn' so they can kiss their biceps afterwards. You've got the girls on the cardio machines with their headphones and cellphones in hand. You've got the yoga and Tae-Kwan-Do studios. They also have a huge MMA ring and training center where the 'Blackzilians' as they call themselves, train for MMA style fighting. Their movement for the most part is so primitive, they really look out of control with their bodies.
I highlight this because there are so many different kinds of exercise people could engage in to try to improve their health and fitness. There question I probably get asked the most, 'how can I workout to burn fat and have the kind of body I want?"
People are starting to realize that straight cardio alone is not enough. Have you ever run into those 'skinny fat people' as I call them? Overall they are not fat, but their body composition isn't firm. They're skinny, yet fat. AND, they're more prone to injury because they don't have good enough control of their body.
The exercises I recommend are full body exercises that end up giving you a firmer body, while burning fat. There are ways to get bigger muscles, but that involves a lot of protein and a lot of lifting weights. I'm talking about quick effective methods of getting firm. These are full body exercises.
1. Burpees
2. Kipping Pull Ups
-for a video to this, check out www.crossfit.com
3. Walk the Floors
4. Box Jumps
-jump up on a box
5. Push Ups
-you know how to do these....
6. Hand Stand Push Ups (advanced, beginners can start with handstand posing while leaning against a wall)
7. Push Up Rows
8. Turkish-Get ups
9. Kettlebell Swings
10. Dumbbell Floor to overheads
For any of these exercises. You could literally just do as many of them as possible in 4 minutes, and you'll give yourself a killer workout that will both burn fat and add proportional muscle to your frames. If your not in a gym, these are great starters for your exercises program.
