Turbulence Training Update for TT VIP's
Brought to you by Craig Ballantyne
==============================================
First, before we get into today's lessons, I just want to say to all
of our friends in New Zealand that I'm very sorry and heartbroken to
hear about the earthquake.
I hope that you and your friends and families who live in
Christchurch are safe. I've traveled to New Zealand and the country
has a special place in my heart. I can't imagine how difficult the
past 24 hours have been and I hope the worst is over.
****************************
Now for today's workout tips...by the time you read this, I'll
probably have already gotten up at 4:30am to do a bodyweight
workout in my hotel room before heading to the airport for a full
day of travel from Panama back to Toronto.
Fortunately, it's easy to do a bodyweight workout when you have
these exercise substitutions you can use instead of weights.
1) For Squats -> You can do:
- 1-leg squats
- 1-leg bench squats
- Bulgarian split squats
- Split squats
- Forward lunges
- Reverse lunges
- Step-ups
- Reaching lunges
- 1-leg deadlifts
- 1-leg hip extensions
(NOTE: For many exercises, including pushing and pulling too, you
can play around with the 1&1/2 rep style - lowering to the bottom
position, coming halfway back up, and then lowering again, and then
coming all the way back up.)
2) For DB Chest Presses (of any kind) -> You can do one of these:
- pushups
- close-grip pushups
- decline pushup
- elevated pushups
- off-set pushups
- pushups with your feet on the ball
- pushups with your hands on the ball
- spiderman pushups
- pike pushups
- or possibly the hardest two-hand pushup of them all, decline
close-grip spiderman pushups
3) To replace lunges if you have knee soreness:
First, see a doctor and have them diagnose the problem. Second, see
a therapist and have them treat the issue. Third, see a trainer and
have them assess where you need to work on flexibility and how you
can include some "knee-friendly" exercises in your workout program.
These exercises include:
- Lying Hip Extensions (also known as Lying Hip Bridges)
- Single-leg Hip Extensions
- Lying Hip Extensions with your feet on the ball
- Lying Stability Ball Leg Curls
4) To replace DB Rows -> Using the smith machine, you can do...
- inverted rows
- underhand inverted rows
- inverted rows with your feet on the ball
- inverted rows holding the ends of a towel hung over the bar
5) For DB Rows -> Using the pullup bar, you can do...
- eccentric pull-ups
- regular pull-ups
- sternum pull-ups
- chinups
- side to side pull-ups
Whew. I think that was 31 or 33 replacements. Tons of ideas.
