Hey guys, what's going on?
It's Jeff Cavaliere here from athleanx.com.
Gonna bring to you another conditioning workout that you guys really loved the last time we
did it, the "4 Minutes of Hell".
This time we're gonna step it up a little bit, make it twice as measurable with 8 minutes
of conditioning and I'm telling you... if you do this, you don't need to be spending
20-30 minutes on a treadmill, because the amount of effort you're gonna put into this...a
lot of that after exercise burn going on..
So let me show you what we're gonna do here real quick.
It's the Iron Man Workout.
We're gonna start off with Punch Pushups and you can see what I mean when I demonstrate
over here... ..dumbbell recliner punches, so you know we're bringing you unique stuff...
cyclone squats and mule kicks borrowed from kung fu.
Basically, it's 2 minutes straight of each one of these exercises.
Can you dig down deep and demonstrate 2 minutes of each of these exercises, four in the row,
no rest in between?
So I'm gonna take this here and do one minute, 'cause if I did 8 minutes of these exercises
here, we might run a little bit longer with my video and I won't have time for my intro
for you guys... for you guys out there that don't like my intro.
Anyway, let's get started.
We're gonna start off right over here with punch pushups.
You get down...just basically get ready to start...
Up, punch.
So we're just working on trying to get a good tempo
[pause] You're working your shoulders and your back
as you get your punch up here.
If you like, you can use light dumbbells.
[pause] I promised you guys I can do 2 minutes pushups
and everything else in this program.
I wouldn't ask you to do anything that I couldn't do myself, but I wanna make the workout a
little shorter, keep it brief.
[pause] If you have to, you can just stay in that
position if you have to rest.
[pause] So 60 seconds and move right into the recliner
and do our recliner punches.
Now these dumbbells might be a little heavy for me, but we're gonna try.
So we're up, punch.
So we're working our shoulders, our abs, obliques... [pause]
I will be a little winded by the time this is all said and done now.
[pause] I'm using 10 pound dumbbells right here.
[pause] And my feet are off the ground the whole time.
Now next up my cyclone squats.
I'm gonna try...let me grab two light plates right here.
I'm gonna try to make it a little bit more challenging for myself.
Basically, I'm gonna hold these out while I do my squats.
So cyclone squat looks like this: out, spin and down.
[pause] Keep your core drawn in, pivot off your back
foot...really working the shoulders, as well, with these plates.
[pause] I'm regretting grabbing the plates at this
point.
[pause] Yeah, definitely a challenge bud.
Try to keep this going for 8 minutes straight.
If you have to drop the plates halfway through, drop them.
Finally, mule kicks.
You've probably seen these in kung fu.
Come down, kick out.
Up, kick.
[pause] Hit hard, guys.
[pause] You kick the legs out...
[pause] Tough...
[pause] So as you can see guys, conditioning does
not have to be boring.
You can get a good, effective workout and that was just 4 minutes...you double that,
your heart is beating, you're getting an effective fat burning workout while you're still preserving
muscle and that's what's really important here.
ATHLEAN-X will help you to build muscle and lose weight at the same time.
So if you haven't already, you wanna switch up your workout, you wanna get on something
that's really gonna deliver results in 90 days...head to athleanx.com right now, grab
your copy of the ATHLEAN-X training system and join me in doing some of these unique
