BODYWEIGHT EXERCISES – PLANK and BIRD DOG

CLICK HERE FOR A FREE WORKOUT!! www.turbulencetraining.com Today you will learn of three basic exercises that will help your abdominal endurance and low back health. These exercises are the plank, the side plank, and the bird dog exercise. Now, I want to be honest and say that these three abdominal exercises are not the most exciting to do. They won’t give you that classic burning sensation in your abs that leaves you feeling like you’ve really worked them hard. However, these three are the safest and probably the most important to do when first starting to work out to prevent you from low back injury. Dr. Stuart McGill, a researcher in Canada, has done extensive research on low back pain and has concluded that individuals who have a lot of endurance in their abdominals tend to have less chance of sustaining an injury to the low back. The great thing about each of these three exercises is because no equipment is required you can do them in your own home. Also, because these are endurance exercises, you can do them every day. So, the first exercise is the Plank. To do this, rest your elbows on a mat, and place your body in a straight line. Brace your abs and try to work up to where you can hold that position for 2-3 minutes straight. If right now, you can only do the plank for 20 seconds, then each day try to add a couple seconds. Alternatively, you can hold for 10 seconds, rest for 1 second and do that 6-7 times. The next exercise is the Side Plank. This time, position …
Kettlebell Workout Bodyweight Exercises Circuit

CLICK HERE for a FREE Workout www.turbulencetraining.com The beauty of this workout is that you can do it in only a small amount of space because you will be using just your bodyweight and kettlebells. If you don’t have a KB, then you can easily substitute it for a dumbbell. Secondly, this workout is also known as the 10 x 20, in that there are 10 exercises at 20 repetitions each. So, as you make your way through this circuit you will not take any breaks until you’ve completed all the exercises. Once there, take a minute or two to take a rest, and then repeat up to two more times. The first exercise is a Kettlebell Squat. For this exercise, hold the KB at chest height in front of you,push your hips back, squat down, and then drive up. Repeat for 20 reps. The next exercise is known as the Extended Push up. It will be a regular push up with a slight twist in that your hands will be in front of your head. This makes the push up exercise a bit more difficult, especially on your abdominals when you are at the bottom of the exercise. Each workout, try to extend a little bit more. After all the reps are completed for the push ups, you’ll follow with 20 repetitions of Kettlebell Swings. Now, this exercise is not a squat, but instead more of an RDL type of movement. Take the KB back between your legs, push your hips back and really thrust them to drive the KB upward to shoulder height. In this exercise, you’re arms will not be doing any of the work; they are simply along for the …
