A Great Workout Routine!

This is the workout routine that I do pretty much everyday. It is great for your body and your health. You can do it in less than 20 minutes.

Give it a try and prove to yourself that it is an exercise routine well worth doing.

The exercises and the order that I do them are as follows:

Jumping on a Mini Trampoline or Rebounder for 5 minutes
Hindu Push Ups
Ab Crunches on an Exercise Ball
Back Bridges
Hindu Squats
Pull Ups or Chin Ups.

I start with the rebounder as it is a great warm up. Always make sure that you do the crunches before the Back Bridges as this order will leave you flexible and loose when you're finished. You can do the rest of the exercise routine in any order you choose.

The Warm Up

Jumping on a mini trampoline works every cell in your body and is a very easy way to start your workout routine.

Going from a weightless condition at the top of the jump to creating a negative gravity force at the bottom causes each cell to contract. This works your Lymphatic System in a way that no other exercise can.

That is why I recommend to almost every coaching client that include this in their exercise program.

If you'd like read more information on the health benefits this exercise provides, I have posted a page here.

Hindu Push Ups

This total body exercise will not only work your arms and chest, but it also works and strengthens your core.

To see how to perform them properly and read more about what they can do for you, check out Hindu Push Ups.

Ab Crunches on an Exercise Ball

I'm in my 50's so I'm not looking for the 6-pack that is all the rage now. What I appreciate about these is the fact they strengthen your core. They also specifically help me to keep from having back pain.

It is important that you do this with proper form. You can see exactly how to do them at ab crunches.

Back Bridges

When I first saw this exercise I thought "You've got to be kidding" and some of my clients have the same reaction. But I gave it a try and now I'm a believer.

For 15 years I had back problems and Chiropractic visits. Once I started doing the crunches and the bridges together I eliminated my problems (and the co-pays :)

You can check these out further at back exercises.

Hindu Squats

These are a super body weight exercise. They work the:

thighs
calves
butt
chest
low back
and lungs.

The video clip and written info can be viewed at Hindu Squats.

Pull Ups or Chin Ups

These are great for working your arms and upper back muscles. Below is an example using proper form.

Pull Ups are done with your palms facing away from you and Chin Ups are done with your palms toward you.

Wrap Up

You can do this workout routine daily. On days when I'm going to do something else like:

ride my bike
play basketball
or lift weights

I will ease up a little on my workout routine.

So give this exercise program a try and see if you don't feel better physically and become more healthy!
