What would be a good reason for someone not to workout?
No time? I get it, life happens. You have a full time job, in a relationship, have kids etc
No access to gym/trainer/equipment? And the financial commitment required can be a burden, even if you do have access.
Too much Information/Bro Science? Thousands of workouts and training methods to choose from. So you’re not sure where to start.
My answer to all these reasons/excuses? – The CRAZY 8 Home Workout
The Home Workout – Simple but not easy
Crazy 8 was first introduced by Craig Ballantyne 10 years ago and I have been hooked to it ever since.
Perform the following circuit in order. Do not rest between exercises. Repeat for 3 total rounds.
1. Jumping Jacks – 60 reps
2. Spiderman Push ups – 10 reps/side
3. Walking Lunges – 15 reps/side
4. Spiderman Climbs – 10 reps/side
5. Wall Squat Hold – 45 second hold
6. Plank Hold – 60 second hold
7. Burpees – 5 reps
8. Running High Knees – 25 reps/side
Rest 1 minute and repeat 2 times for a total of 3 rounds.
Why I love this workout
Simplicity – There is nothing complex here,just do 8 exercises without rest in between and repeat for 3 rounds
Note: Don’t be fooled by the simplicity of this workout on paper,2-3 rounds of this will absolutely wipe you out
Quick & Efficient – It will not take more than 20 minutes. And, you can do it just 3 times a week.
No Equipment – Your Bodyweight,Gravity and a Small space is all you need!!!
Scalability – Can’t do a push up?Replace it with wall push-up,You can increase/decrease the difficulty of each of these exercises by varying your position/movement.Can’t do 3 rounds? Start with one and work your way up
So No Time/Equipment/Gym Access? No Problem – Get to it!!!
