The Naked Warrior
The 5-minute Quick Fix Workout
Between the book, articles, training clients, maintaining a social life, and bothering mentors with questions, I don’t always have time for the gym. I’m guessing you don’t either.
Enter the Naked Warrior. (Sorry, Pavel.)
Bodyweight circuits can elevate your mood, fix your posture, burn a few calories, and energize you in less time it takes to say “Don’t really do the workout while naked. It’s just gross.â€
Here’s my favorite quick-fix workout, no equipment necessary. (I’ve linked to pictures or videos when possible):
The Goods:
Do each exercise back-to-back with no rest in between. After you finish the entire circuit, rest 1 minute. Repeat three more times. Crying afterwards is optional.
A1 Prisoner Squats - 25 reps
A2 Reverse Lunge -12 reps each leg
A3 Spider-Man Pushup – 12 reps total
A4 Mountain Climber – 12 reps each leg
A5 Full Sit-up– 15 reps
