Alternative Exercises

[iker3091]

shadow boxing for 15 minutes is ok too IMHO

[firsthorseman]

pushup, pull up, situp , squats for strength training

running, jogging brisk walking for cardio

pick a ledge thats fairly high (2 feet?) and with both feet jump on it. jump back down backwards... repeat as necessary - after 4 sets of 20 your legs should be all warmed up

high box jumps. a relatively advanced exercise. potentially dangerous to the knees.

okay. personally, i'd like to see them overzealous fatboys who cannot comprehend the idea of backreading bust their knees out from poor exercise selection.

 

this is a great exercise. i don't even go to the gym.

another one courtesy of my old coach:

if you guys have acccess to a medicine ball, find a fairly steep slope

start at the bottom of the hill with one foot forward

ball should start around the side of the hip away from the slope

throw the ball up the hill as far as you can

ball should roll back to you

switch sides and repeat

 

*note: if ball gets stuck uphill you are REQUIRED to sprint up the damn hill to retrieve it

i checked youtube, and if i'm correct on high box jumps, this the same as squat hops and technically, parang half squats siya?

 

i will second on what Palakol said, it is (potencially) dangerous to the knees..

do not do sprints if you are doing these, as this will do more damage..

 

you might as well do (full) bodyweight squats, skip rope, and burpees for alternative exercises which can all be done at home

[johnnies]

Pistol squats, pike pushups, pushups, bw squats

[caido]

does yoga help?

You can still strengthen your heart even if you dont have the time or money to go to the gym. This can be done by doing STEP AEROBICS on a stair.

[lastforever]

Pushups will do.

[Guns of the Patriots]

Walking and running.

 

If you want, walk or run on an inclined plane para mas challenged ang muscles at puso.

 

Others are situps, pullups and pushups. Calisthenics also may help.

hi guys, i attended a free trial session sa 360 fitness. What they gave us was a body weight routine, so anybody can do it at home.

This is the routine:

 

stretching= 5mins

 

circuit 1

jump squats=30 sec

skipping/jog in place= 30 sec

push ups= 30 sec

skipping =30 sec

seated ab twists= 30 sec

skipping= 30 sec

 

repeat above routine 3x then end with 30 sec burpees,

 

water break 5 mins

 

circuit 2

lunges= 30 sec

skipping=30 sec

planking=30 sec

skipping=30 sec

push ups=30 sec

skipping 30 sec

 

repeat circuit 3x then end with 30 sec burpees

 

 

all in all around 30 mins pero solve ka na
