Today here in Massachusetts it is freezing right now.. literally!!!! The weather report said it was like 15 or something but felt like 1 degree with wind chill. This is the time of the year when hibernation is on the mind and we are still saying “When am I going to get my christmas shopping done, I haven’t bought anything yet” With all the chaos of the holiday season as well as cold ass weather depending on where you live, things can get away from you.
A great strength and fat burning exercise can be the cure to your sickness though, I am talking about complexes. Don’t know what a complex is? Pick 4-5 exercises that will cover the whole body with a weight that can be handled with good form throughout the entire set try shooting for about 8-12 reps each exercise. And all you do is perform them all in 1 set with no rest, may sound easy but believe me you will be humbled.
Below is a video of me doing them with a sandbag, there is no excuse why you can’t do these. They are affordable and take up very little space. What I am using in the video is just a 50lb sand bag wrapped in 2 contractor bags duct taped shut. The sand bag was less than 3 bucks, contractor bags were about 10 but you get like 20 of them so sounds like a good deal to me and who does not have duct tape kicking around the house. Duct tape is king.
This should eliminate any excuses for not exercising when it comes to the cold long winter months.
Complexes can also be done with many other things as well, maybe all you can handle is your own body weight that will work for a while. If you need more of a challenge find a heavy stone outside or anything taking up space in the garage/basement you have to have something in there that has some weight to it. Rip it off the floor, press it over head use it to squat it does not matter what you use for weight as long as it can be done safely.
So check me out in action and come up with some cool ideas of your own.
Stay Stong,
Let me know what you come up with
