Back to Basics

Sometimes it's easy to get caught up trying out all the new equipment and exercises that seem to be popping up all over the place. We always want the next best thing. But when trying out all the new stuff, we often forget what got us results in the first place.


Exercise selection isn't complicated. We need to push, pull, squat, lunge, deadlift and rotate. If you can do that during your workouts, you will will have covered all the major muscles and be ready to go!

With that in mind, give these "Back 2 Basics" circuits a try. Don't mistake "basic" as easy. You'll see what I mean.

Circuit #1 - Perform each exercise for 10 reps. Perform the circuit as many times as possible in 20 minutes.

Push ups
Bodyweight Rows
Jump Squats
Dumbbell Deadlift/upright Row
Russian Twists
Lateral Lunge

Circuit #2 - Perform each exercise for 8 reps. Perform the circuit as many times as possible in 20 minutes

Dumbbell Squat/Press
Pull ups
Lunge/Twist
DB Woodchop
T-Stabilizations
Single Leg Deadlift

Again, basic doesn't mean easy. Let me know what you think!
