This week we have a lower body workout with a lot of cardio intervals. The music is heavily ’80’s, with a little ’90’s thrown in for flavor.

The response to the Personal Training Podcasts has been terrific!! You all seem to be getting into the idea of CyberTraining 1.0.

This week’s workout is a focus on upper body work with some cardio thrown in for fun! It’s 55 minutes from soup to nuts! Give it a whirl.

This week’s upper body focus is a result of a request for an upper body workout. It’s that simple. Ask me and I’ll make it happen. Also, let me know what soundtracks you want. If you want to workout to all Sinatra (hey, ya never know) tell me and I will post the podcast.

These workouts are for you! Let me know how best to shape them!

Great podcast, I’m intrigued to learn more. Unfortunately, the article isn’t that clear. Can you break down an example of a Hurricane workout we could do at The Fitness Guru studio?- Animal

Ah, Animal. It is the pain of trying to capture the visuals of a magazine with the nuances of audio recording. The Hurricane is meant to shake up, stress, and push the system. It is a series of five exercises. Each exercise is performed for one minute with no rest in between. The idea is to get the entire body to work in the course of five minutes. Consequently, five variations of push ups probably wouldn’t be a good call. But you would want to mix up the exercise. Here is an example:

1. Push Ups
      a. Classic exercise for the upper body. Form is key. Try to keep an even pace as you both lower and lift. And don’t underestimate a full minute of push ups
2. Plyometric Squats
     a. With your feet parallel and should width apart, bend your knees until your thighs are parallel to the floor. In one powerful motion, spring up and jump as high as you can. Repeat for aminute
3. Treadmill Sprints
     a. On the treadmill. As fast as you can. For a minute
4. Alternating leg scissors
     a. Lying on your back with your hands behind your head and your head and shoulders lifted, lift both legs straight up to the ceiling. One at a time, lower and raise each leg, maintaining abdominal activation
5. Bench Jumping
     a. Standing on one side of the weight bench, take hold of the sides. Using your arms for support, jump over and back across the bench

I’ll have a video up tomorrow for more specific details on how to best utilize the Hurricane in your workout.
