It's Black Friday.
You think the challenge of getting ahold of one of those blockbuster deals is hard, wait
until you see what I have in store for you today with our Black Friday Workout.
What's up guys?
Jeff Cavaliere, ATHLEANX.COM.
I hope if you had Thanksgiving Dinner yesterday that you enjoyed it, but it's time to get
back to work today.
And today, as you might know, here is Black Friday.
And the challenge that guys face, or whoever it is that are jumping in line trying to get
ahold of those doorbuster deals, as I said, is nothing compared to what we are going to
put you through here physically.
And I'm going to show you why.
Because what we do is, we incorporate challenges into the workouts that we do at AthleanX.
What do I mean by challenges?
I mean by actually giving you goals, by giving you rep goals with time in order to be able
to know that you have accomplished something, but more importantly, to see how you measure
up against the best in the world.
To see how you measure up against yourself and others like yourself, but also against
the best in the world.
Because if you want to be the best that you can be, you should always try to shoot to
be better than you are now.
And that's the whole essence of AthleanX, and why when guys follow workouts like this,
STEP-BY-STEP at AthleanX, that they get the results that they do.
So, let's take a look at just one example of the type of stuff that we're doing in the
AthleanX system.
1.
We have Burpees.
BLACK B-L-A-C-K, Burpees, ok, but we have 25 we gotta' do in 60 seconds.
Ya' know, pretty attainable.
When we start to add these up, it gets much more difficult.
Next we're going for Line Hop Push-Ups, 25 in 60 seconds.
Next, Ab Scissors, we're going to do them hanging from a bar, but I want to see if you
can last all 60 seconds without dropping.
Next, Chin-Ups. 25 in 60 seconds.
And then finally, Kettlebell or Dumbbell, single arm, clean and press, 10 on each arm
in 60 seconds.
Ok.
It's all about challenging yourself so that you know that you're doing well because let
me show you a quick example of the difference when we do the Burpee itself.
If I said, 'Do Burpees for 60 seconds.'
which one is harder?
This one?
You know, I'll probably get about 7 out at that rate.
But that's not how we do it here, and that's not how I want you to do it.
So, we're going to start the clock...Burpees.
54 seconds.
Now, that's a lot harder than, as I said going at your own pace and thinking that you're
going hard.
Now you know you are.
Next, we have to do Line hop Push-Ups.
So, get ourselves in position, pick an imaginary line on the ground, for me it's right here,
and go over and back.
25.
A little break there.
25 seconds.
Over to the bar.
Guys, when you work out hard, and I always say you don't have to work out long, and that's
the point.
Kick your ass yourself hard and you'll get that intensity and the trade off will be workout
length.
So now, as I take a minute to catch my breath, now I'm going to go for my Ab Scissors for
60 seconds.
I'm going to put this down on the ground.
60.
Not easy guys.
Next up.
The Chin-Ups. 25 in a minute.
Catch my breath.
You'll notice, the sequencing of these exercises is key.
We went from the Burpee which has a lot of chest involved into another exercise with
lateral explosion, upper body.
We went from a hanging exercise into another exercise hanging because we want to add up,
in a strategic way, the volume of certain muscle groups.
With 15 seconds to spare.
And lastly, into our kettlebell or dumbbell, clean and press.
Now if we want, if you have a kettlebell, you can do it with a kettlebell.
I will demonstrate with a dumbbell since more of you guys will probably have those.
Ok.
Last one.
Just clean it.
Use a hammer curl, set...
So, there you have it guys, the Black Friday Workout.
You got another example of what we call Athlean Burst training, you know, being able to get
your stamina going, keep your heart rate up and at the same time preserve the muscle that
you've worked so hard in the gym and in your other workouts building.
And that's the essence of AthleanX.
And guys, this is what everybody, as I said in the beginning, who follows a 90-day program
has a step-by-step schedule and the right sequencing as II said so that you don't burn
out muscles when you're not trying to, and do when you are trying to.
Ok?
You got to have an effort and a purpose, and AthleanX is all about putting this type of
training in your hands with me as your coach guiding you through.
If you like this, guys, head over to AthleanX.com and grab the 90-day training program.
In the meantime I think I'm going to take every bit of the next 7 days to rest up and
come back.
And next week I have a really cool workout based on a Men's Fitness Magazine article
that I just wrote.
Until then, I'll see you guys back here in 7 days.
