Hi! I'm Sam.

Your time saving strength workout for this week [use it]

Published about 1 year ago • 2 min read

One of my clients is off on business to Australia and NZ over the next two weeks. She's a highly decorated RAF personnel.

One of the issues, besides getting over jet lag is the limited time she has to train, around 30 mins per day - 5:30am to 6.

It's a horrible time to train at the best of times, let alone jet lag creeping its way in and trying to throw you off course. Couple that with menopause, and a decrease in strength (due to time of training and the late-night traveling), here's what I suggested:

Density Set A

6 x TRX Rows​

8x Reverse Lunges/leg​

Set a timer for 12 minutes and aim to get as many sets in as you can in that time.

For the reverse lunges, if you don't have dumbbells, wear a rucksack and stuff it with books. It'll make it harder. You can keep it on for the rows. Just tighten it

Density Set B

6 x Hand Release Press Ups​

8x TRX Hamstring Curls​

12x TRX Y Raise​

Set a timer for 12 minutes and aim to get as many sets in as you can in that time.

For the hand-release press-ups, lower yourself as slowly as you can until you're flat on the floor. Then aim to push your body hard off the floor to return to the start.

The TRX uses the same length for the following two exercises.

Density Set C

​Core Crusher​

I've set up the last part for a bit of fun. There are 3 exercises, 4 mins on the clock. Get as many rounds in as you can whilst your abs are burning!!

She took a TRX with her, it's one of the best bits of equipment actually when you compare what you can do with it against the space it saves and the difficulty levels it reaches.

She'll hopefully be training every other day so I've created three of these style workouts for her to keep her entertained.

I know she'll crush it.

Give it a go and let me know what you think,

~ Sam
