CrossFit Style Workout - Leg Extensions and Curls - Back - Abs

Here is another CrossFit Style workout for you, in this CrossFit workout I focus on Legs and Back with some Abs at the end. This is not a true CrossFit workout as I do focus a bit more on some body building isolation type exercises but the idea of incorporating cardio and strength training in a non-stop styled workout is similar to a CrossFit workout.

Here is what I do in this workout: For Legs I do three sets of Leg Extensions and then three sets of Leg Curls. For Back I do three sets of Wide Pull-ups followed by three sets of Narrow Pull-ups ending with three sets of Bar-rows. For my Abs I do three sets of Wheel Roll-outs. Between each double set I do one minute of high intensity Elliptical. The entire workout lasts about 40 minutes and I only rest just long enough for some stretching, some weight adjustments and to catch my breath so I have enough energy to do each set properly.

CrossFit Style Workout - Legs - Chest - Abs

I mentioned I was going to be showing you some of my real world CrossFit Style workouts and so this marks the first of hopefully a bunch of my Crossfit Style home workouts I will share with you :)

This workout is by no means a true CrossFit workout but it does share some similarities with CrossFit, mainly the none-stop pace incorporating typical cardio exercises with muscle building exercises. In CrossFit you generally do not do any isolation exercises (one muscle group at a time) but rather do compound exercises. I kind of mix it all together and make my own version of a CrossFit workout that incorporates some more dedicated and focussed muscle building movements.

In CrossFit I would also try to never stop moving but in my Hybrid workout I do take a few breathers, but only so I have enough energy to do a complete and full effort set.

When I made this video I kind of ran out of card space so there is a bit missing but you will get the idea of how it all works.

Bowflex Boost Fitness Band Coming in September for $50!

Looks like another Fitness band is about to emerge? The Bowflex Boost Fitness Band should be arriving sometime around in September but who really know? It's big buying feature is its price point of $50 which is about half the price of its competition, the Fitbit Flex, Jawbone Up and the Nike FuelBand.

Even a this proposed super low price, it is supposed to have the usual bells and whistles like activity tracking, sleep quality, Bluetooth syncing and an iOS App.

Let's wait and see how this all rolls out...

Human Trainer Shoulder Workout

This is my last upper body Human Trainer Body Weight Suspension System workout, next I will be moving on to some lower body routines. Today I show you a shoulder workout using the Human trainer. I found with shoulders using an alternative ground level mounting location works really for some of the shoulder exercises I do but you can also hook into a higher position if need be, just angle your body a bit differently.

To get my lower mounting point I hooked into my smith machine rack using my Human Trainer Versatility Straps.

I'm still struggling with my foot, wrist and knee injuries but what are the alternatives, rest, I don't think so ;) Overall things are getting better...

Make sure to also checkout my Human Trainer Chest Workout Video, my Human Trainer Back Workout Video, my Human Trainer Arms Video and also my quick Preview Video for the Human Trainer.
