The Animal Workout- Day 5

Image
There is something about being out in nature that is mentally stimulating and also allows for some throwing/tossing exercises.  In my professionally designed Animal Workout, the KB Swing Toss is an exercise that can really only be done outdoors.  Check out the free workout video and you'll see why.  Below the video I'll go into specifics on this Fat X 101 fat burning workout. If you enjoy the content here, you can help me by sharing it or simply following me on social media.   . The Animal Workout features two, 3 minute rounds.  The first round is a high intensity round, the second is a low intensity or active rest round. The first round is a superset that starts off with the KettleBell Swing Toss for 2 reps.  Once you complete the KB Swing Toss for 2 reps you proceed to complete the next exercise which is a Panther Push-Up, sometimes referred to as a Spider Man Push-up. That exercise is also done for 2 reps.  Continue doing those exercises back to back

Zombie Hunter Fat Burning Workout- Day 4

Image
Just like most of my workouts and exercise set ups, this one requires very little fitness equipment, in fact, all you need is a pack, bag or something to use for resistance that you can swing around.  Check out the workout demo video, and I’ll go into some specifics below.   Workouts can get a bit boring. So as you know if you’ve been following me and Fat X 101 for a while, I like to spice them up a bit with some themes.  The other reason he calls it the Zombie Hunter Workout is because he threw in an exercise that’s specifically beneficial to combat athletes (MMA, boxing, Muay Thai, Jiu Jitsu etc.) but is also great for all around fitness and zombie slashing of course.

Bermuda Triangle Workout- Day 2

Image
I’ll go into some details on the Bermuda Triangle Workout below the video.   The Bermuda Triangle Workout is composed of four, three minute rounds. The rest period between rounds should be between 1-2 minutes depending on your fitness level and your goals.  Just make sure you take note of what you choose and keep it consistent.  The Coach Rollie Method involves keeping track, or analytics of what you do within each workout.  These stats will help motivate you to do better next time you do the workout.  The more your workout numbers improve, the more your body will improve!  Round one is pretty simple.  You’ll just be using a lateral shuffle exercise cone to cone in a triangular formation as fast as possible.  Each time you get to a cone counts as one rep.  You want to keep track of how many reps you completed during the round
