Hey, guys!
Jeff from ATHLEAN-X.com And standing next to me I have a real special guest here that
I invited into the XBOX to come and train with us today.
You might recognize this guy.
This is Adam Jarvis.
You might recognize him from the ATHLEAN-X website as one of the most outstanding transformations
that we've had so far on the 90 day program.
Adam, I want everybody at home to hear a little bit about what led you to ATHLEAN-X and how
you kind of made that transformation, why you made that change.
>> Adam: I made that change because my body was getting out of control, I was getting
out of control.
I wanted a workout that could transform my body, feel good about myself, have more self-confidence,
so I picked up ATHLEAN-X.
Within three weeks I started seeing noticeable changes.
>> Jeff: So already in three weeks you were seeing some stuff?
>> Adam: Absolutely.
>> Jeff: Guys, that's what we've been talking about all along, quicker results.
How many times a week were you working out?
Five times a week?
>> Adam: Five times a week, right.
>> Jeff: And only three of those times you were working out with weights, two were strength
and condition.
Now you followed P90X.
>> Adam: Yes, I did.
>> Jeff: I don't wanna put them under the gun here, but when you were comparing the
two...was it less work here?
Better results?
Tell me honestly what you thought.
>> Adam: Yes.
With P90X I thought I'd get better results, but I have a busy schedule, so it was harder
for me to achieve what P90X really wanted to achieve.
With ATHLEAN-X I was able to achieve better results in a less amount of time, the intensity
was there, my whole heart was there, it helped me out.
>> Jeff: Now you love to party though, don't you?
>> Adam: I still do.
>> Jeff: This is the guy who you can see from his before pictures, he had been partying
a little bit, but he hasn't changed his whole lifestyle to the point that he can't do anything
anymore.
He still does things he likes to do and getting his workout.
>> Adam: Absolutely.
>> Jeff: And at five days a week, it's attainable, so it's easy for you guys out there to do
it.
Now I'm gonna put you on the spot.
Adam doesn't know I'm gonna do this to him, but...it's ok to look good for one picture,
you can send me your pictures and look good, but do you still look good like that now?
>> Adam: Absolutely.
>> Jeff: Yeah, let's see and make sure.
OK, so the guy is still keeping up with what he's talking about.
It's a lifestyle change.
>> Adam: Absolutely.
>> Jeff: Now since I have Adam here, I wanna take him through what I call my "Extreme Leg
Circuit".
A lot of guys out there have asked for a leg circuit, something they can do at home, in
a very small space.
I'm not gonna allow you to leave this space right here, alright?
I'm gonna put you through a circuit, basically let me train you right now and everybody at
home can follow along.
>> Adam: Fine by me.
>> Jeff: What we're gonna do is we're gonna start with a three-way lunge.
You're gonna come out, you lunge forward, you lunge to the side and then you do a drop-side
lunge. 5 on each leg.
From there we're gonna go to what I call my "one leg twister squats", where basically
what you have to do is...one leg squat, you're gonna go all the way down, both hands to the
outside of your foot here and then come all the way down, both hands to the inside of
your foot and come out.
Alright, so you're gonna have to come back and forth all the way down, in and out.
Try to control yourself on your way down.
12 times on each leg.
One leg physioball circle curls.
You're gonna lie on your back with the physioball on your leg.
You're gonna pull it in, but I want you to do a circle motion...clockwise, counterclockwise...6
and 6 each leg.
Stand up, I'm gonna put the little stool here, but you can have any kind of minibox 12 to
18 inch stepper box.
I'm gonna have you jump on it, squat, jump off it, squat back and forth 10 times, so
it's gonna be 20 squats, but 10 jumps.
No rest, repeat it 3-5 times, I'm gonna put you through it once and see how you feel,
alright?
>> Adam: OK.
>> Jeff: Here we go.
Let's start with the one leg with the three-way crunch.
Good.
Stretch to the side, then drop back.
Good.
Go back again.
That's it, stray to the side.
That's it, now drop back.
Nice and quick.
5 reps.
That's it.
Alright, now we're gonna do push-up squats.
Back up just a little bit for me.
One leg go down outside your foot, go inside your foot.
There you go.
Try to keep your balance.
It's a big balance drill now that your legs are getting a bit tired.
Control your descent on your way down.
That's it.
[pause] >> Jeff: Here we go.
>> Adam: These are hard.
>> Jeff: Again, no weight.
Now one of the great things about doing ...(get your 12 done, Adam, then switch to the other
side)...one of the great things about doing body weight exercises, especially one-legged
exercises is you don't need the load on the back of your shoulders to make this exercise
hard.
As soon as you go through a single leg exercise, your body is challenged with virtually no
weight, cause it's tough to go down on one leg, then come back.
You don't need to load up 200-300-400 pounds of weight across your back to do a two-legged
squat to get the same training effect from your leg.
[pause] >> Jeff: It's good pace.
Alright.
Get down on the ground.
Turn a little bit for me to the side.
That's it, hands down, get a high bridge.
Alright, get your leg off the ground, the other leg off the ground and start making
circles.
Your hair seems to be lining up or what?
So you've got a mainstream lining up, but he's doing a little bit three dimensional
work too to make this more functional.
Guys, you know that if you wanna look like an athlete, you gotta train like one.
Now Adam doesn't play competitive sports, he certainly doesn't play professional sports,
but it doesn't mean he can't train to look like an athlete.
So you're doing 6 clockwise, 6 counterclockwise.
Let's grab that bolster right here.
Or again, it could be a small box.
Come up and do your jumps.
Squat all the way down, up.
Now you've got a little jelly legs going on there.
Up.
Nice and quick.
Get all the way up there.
Down.
Up, off.
Slow all the way down.
I want you to absorb that shot, so come on up.
We've got a little jelly working here, guys.
Now again, he might stay more steady on a stable box.
Right now we're gonna challenge him.
This is a little bit more advanced.
And down.
Give me two more.
All the way down to the squat, up, land this one, stick it, there you go.
One more.
Get up there, stick the landing, nice.
Squat, off, down.
That's it.
How does that feel?
>> Adam: Oh, tough.
>> Jeff: So guys, real quick: small amount of space, you don't need the bolster, you
can use a box.
Put it all together.
These are the kind of things you went through with ATHLEAN-X, unique exercise, not just
the same old tired crap.
So different stuff that challenge your body, but more importantly, work it like you were
an athlete.
>> Adam: Absolutely.
>> Jeff: For a great athletic look, you need to be able to create great, athletic muscles,
so you gotta train like that.
Guys, if you haven't already, join Adam, pick up a copy of ATHLEAN-X Training System over
at athleanx.com.
I want to thank Adam for coming in, I wanna tell him to keep up the awesome work.
He's gonna stay up there on that website for as long as we're there, because his results
are unbelievable.
Guys, join us again.
I'll bring you back the "Lose the love handles workout" next time, I've had a lot of requests
for that, how to get rid of this ugly fat on your side.
Alright guys, take it easy.
Talk to you soon.
>> Adam: Thanks, Jeff.
