10 min – Military Workout for at home

Hey guys, another workout is coming your way! This time I wanted to show you a „military workout“ routine. It combines cardio with strength exercises, and it definitely will be challenging, but it also will be worth it at the end. You can add it to your workout routine as a high intense exercise to kill your fat!

Every exercise will be repeated several times within the course of the routine, but obviously I will only explain it once. 😀

Jumping Jacks: Start with high frequency jumping jacks, to get the heart going.

Burpees: Right after that go over to burpees. Jump down to a push up position, do a push up, get up, do a high jump and start over. Try to really get those movements into one flow. It is hard at first, but you will get used to it!

High Knees: To keep the intensity, switch to High knees. Remember: No pause between the exercises!

Mountain climbers: Now this is an exercise most people hate, but I love it! It really gets exhausting after a little while. Get into a push up position. But don’t do a push up – rather pull your knees alternately to your chest, as if you were running.

Punches: Throw some punches! But remember to move your feet. A boxer never stands still. Also lay your whole body into the punch.

Twist Jumps: Jump up and down and twist your hips. It sounds like a dance move and it kinda looks like it as well. 😀

Kick Throughs: They are pretty similar to mountain climbers. The difference is that you don’t pull your knees up to the chest, but kick your legs below your body through to the other side. Your right leg to the left and your left leg to the right.

Push Ups: Those almost feel like a relieve after those burpees, right?

Push Up Hold: Now hold yourself down in that position, arms tight to the body. It burns!

Plank Hold: Keep holding! Your body has to be a straight line. 

Squats Jumps: Now again something for your legs. They work just like normal squats, but when going up, you jump! Try to get a smooth movement here, similar to the burpees.

Side Plank on each side: Try to keep your body straight, it has to be one line, tense your whole body.

Jack Knife: Lay on the ground and stretch your body out. Now, while keeping your arms and legs straight, get them together in the middle.

Squat hold: Just like squats, but hold! Try to go deep.

Squat Twists: This is a mixture out of Jump Twists and Squat Jumps. Do the squat jump first, then switch to the right by pulling your right leg back and your left leg to the front, almost as in a deep lunge position in yoga. Then come back to the middle and after that to the left.

Plank up and downs: You thought plank was hard? Try going from a plank position to a push up position and back.

Walk up and down: Unleash the animal inside of you! Walk on your hands and feet up and down. Try to keep your body tense.

Lunge kicks: Last exercise! Do a deep lunge and kick out of it with your back leg!

And that’s it! Feeling exhausted? Good! With each time you will get used to it more and more, it will show. 😊

I hope you can make this workout part of your routine. For more workouts like this, hair style tutorials and vlogs visit my YouTube Channel @fabianxarnold. Take care and see you there!

My home workout routine while Corona / Lockdown

As we all know, 2020 was a slightly different year. The CoronaVirus, also known as COVID-19, has pushed people, the world and the economy to their limits. There were lockdowns, so you had to move your sporting activities to your own home.

In our first lockdown in Germany in March 2020, I dealt a lot with home workouts and bodyweight exercises. I was able to make my own plan for myself at home. Now we are in the second lockdown in November 2020 and I have made it my business to share my home workouts with you. In this blog post I will tell you more about my workout routine and give you instructions on how to do it at home.

The change of my workout with bodyweight exercises showed me that even when the gyms were open again, I relied more on bodyweight exercises and also changed my training after the lockdown with certain exercises. It showed me that my body copes much better with such exercises and therefore I recommend to include it in your future workouts.

My workout plan before lockdown and COVID-19

Before the lockdown, my weekly plan consisted of push, pull and leg training with additional running units. I tried to train my stomach every second day and before each session in the gym I was on a cardio machine for 10 minutes.

In my previous blog post about my workout routine, I already gave you insights into which exercises and how many repetitions and sets I do.

I actually tried to transfer this plan to my home workouts and looked for ways to hit certain muscle groups with bodyweight.

The principle of my home workout plan

As you may have already seen on YouTube, I have uploaded various videos and training tutorials about the home workouts. The whole thing works in the modular system because one training session is not enough to cover daily needs. You can add the different workouts together and do them one after the other. How you ultimately structure your week and your weekly plan is up to you. With the workouts on my YouTube channel you have the opportunity to build your own routine. Of course I have also built my routine and will tell you about it below.

My perfect week – home training

Monday                 12 min Fat Burn + 13 min six pack + 30 min push training

Tuesday                 10km run or 20 min rope skipping

Wednesday           12 min Fat Burn + 13 min six pack + 30 min pull training

Thursday               10km run or 20 min rope skipping

Friday                    12 min Fat Burn + 13 min six pack + 30 min push training

Saturday                no training

Sunday                   12 min Fat Burn + 13 min six pack + 30 min pull training

Vary and adapt to yourself !!

It is extremely important that you adapt your plan to your performance. Since I’ve been in sports and high-performance sports continuously since I was 16, it is clear that I simply have a different sports performance than someone who is more inexperienced in sports. Therefore, like to adapt the workouts to you and listen to your body, when it needs a break and when it still has power to do more. A healthy variety is extremely important in the whole thing, so that you do not do the same training three days in a row.

 

If you have any questions, feel free to email me. I will upload more YouTube videos in the near future, so it makes sense to subscribe to my YouTube account and for daily news follow my Instagram Account.
