basic beat down

peateargriffin Posts: 7 Joined: 2004/12/31	2005/01/01, 10:41 PM Try a basic body beatdown: For 1 hour straight alternate between 8-count bodybuilders, mountain climbers, pushups, squats, arm circles, situps, sharks, and jumping jacks. One hour, dont stop, do about 20-30 of each then switch, dont even stop to get a drink during this. Try holding the postion during some of these excercises too, like up and down in the pushup for like a minute at a time. try half way up in the situp for two minutes. At the end you'll be exhausted. good cardio and muscle endurance, plus the variance in excercises keeps you going, do this twice a week and your body will definately harden up. i.e. : 30 8-counts 3min of arm circles 30 mountain climbers 50 jumping jacks 20 pushups 1min of sharks 50 situps 30 squats just repeat for an hour.

bb1fit Posts: 11,105 Joined: 2001/06/30	2005/01/02, 05:21 PM If you are trying for endurance and then strength, which this workout would imply, a circuit weight type workout would be more productive. To deprive yourself of water is downright silly, and very dangerous. Whoever designed this scenario should really re-think it. Intensity is great, but you still have to be smart. -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.... bb1fit@freetrainers.com

peateargriffin Posts: 7 Joined: 2004/12/31	2005/01/02, 08:26 PM try it. it is safe. just make sure you are extremely hydrated first, i should have said that. beleive me, its not about getting cut or any bigger, but as far as muscle endurance and weight loss, its the way to go. or go ahead and drink water during, but you might cramp up.
peateargriffin Posts: 7 Joined: 2004/12/31	2005/01/02, 08:31 PM if u are worried about passing out dont be. as long as you hydrate prior, i have done sessions like this for over 3 hours and not passed out. and had only one water break during it. i didnt pass out. the thing is it will go from such high intensity like 8-counts to low intensity like situps, and holding in different positions will give you a chance to catch your breath while still working your muscles.

I think if you have an isotonic drink it's less of a problem, which would definitely be advisable if you are exercising for 3 hours, to avoid catabolism.
