Bodyweight Workouts with TT BW Cardio 2.0 Workout A
3
CLICK HERE for a FREE WORKOUT!! www.turbulencetraining.com In this workout it’s a 70 rep advanced bodyweight strength circuit. Now I know that 70 reps don’t sound like a lot, but these are actually some of the hardest bodyweight exercises. Also, for these exercises you won’t be going to failure or doing a lot of repetitions, but what you’re going to do is build up strength in each exercise. So, you’ll do a few repetitions per exercise and then move on to the next in circuit fashion. It’s just a different way of exercising. The first time you do this workout, only go through the circuit two times, and then work up with each workout so that eventually you are doing 5 circuits. You’ll find that these workouts go by pretty quickly. Also, you won’t rest between exercises, instead, do all 8 exercises, and then rest a minute, and repeat the circuit. So, after you’ve finished your warm-up, you’ll start with the first exercise, the Tuck Jump. For this exercise, jump up in the air while bringing your knees to your chest. As you land, bend your knees to soften the land and then jump up again. Repeat for 6 repetitions. Immediately move into a One-Legged Squat for 6 repetitions per side. Squat down to parallel and then come back up. Doall reps for one side and then switch legs. From there, you’ll do 3 Pull ups. So, it doesn’t matter how many you can do, only do 3. Once you’ve finished your pull ups, go right into Shoulder Press Push ups. Place your feet on a bench with your hips piked …
Gauntlet Workout A

CLICK HERE FOR A FREE WORKOUT! www.turbulencetraining.com This is TT Gauntlet Workout A. We are going to pair exercises together, but you will do one of the exercises twice. I’m doing this because the definition of a gauntlet is running through a column and being beaten. You will have column A exercises, move to column B exercise and then back to A. The first is a shuttle sprint for 20 seconds. Move immediately into 25 reps of prisoner squats with your hands interlaced behind your head with your elbows back. Move immediately back into shuttle sprints for 20 seconds. For you second pairing, you are going to do pull-ups, pushups and then pull-ups. You are going to do 80% of your maximum repetitions (you don’t want to go to failure). For example, if you can only do 10 pull-ups, you will do 8 pull-ups. If you can do 40 pushups, do 32 and then go back and do 8 pull-ups. For the pull-up, place your hands in an overhand grip with themslightly wider than shoulder-width apart. Bring your chest up and slowly lower down. Move immediately or with as little rest as possible into regular pushups at 80% of your maximum reps. Go back to pull-ups and repeat the number you did before the pushups (80%). The next exercise pairing, you will do a 1-leg bench squat. Start by standing on the bench and drop your foot off to the side and then back up. This will really get your glute. You can also do a 1-leg squat by lowering onto a bench and then back up. Do 10 reps on one side and then switch to …
