I just finished a military circuit training for 20 minutes. I used the bike to slow down heart rate. At thee strength movements particularly squats and lunges my heart rate went over 110+. Biking at level 1 brought my heart rate back at the 80's, 70', and 60's.
The workout
The workout
Band Bench press* or pushups - in 1:00 - here I tied two bands to my cane, cane side on chest and pulled out. A broom would work.
Squats - 1:00 backside against the walk
TRX Pull-ups or pulldowns - 1:00 again works the muscles similar to a chin up- With TRX upper body it is where you place your feet to adjust the resistance.
Bike or jog - 3:00 I think walking in place would work as well. Consider Sansone's four basic steps. Any of her workouts will demonstrate this. They are on line.
Band Military press* - 1:00
Lunges - 1:00 each leg
Band Bicep curls - 1:00
Bike or jog - 3:00
Tricep extensions.- 1:00 (Leslie Sansone kickbacks w pulldowns)
TRX 1:00 side squats - As I step out emphasis was on stating more on the step out leg. Gave me a chance to work my weaker leg. TRX on this was excellent.
1:00 Kickbacks
Bike or jog 3:00
Situps - 1:00 - I stack four pillows on bed and lean back two sets of 20 to 21 for the two minute ab work. When I recovered from an illness this exercise gave me confidence to rise out of bed. Along with squats a real confidence builder if you ever have to recover from stuff that knocks you out.
Crunches - 1:00
Stretch cool down-1:00-30 minutes small steps slower rate, stretch moves
You could bike two to three minutes between each exercise. Change the exercises to your needs. If I did two minute biking the workout would be 33 minutes, 3 minutes between each one would be 44 minutes, 4 minute biking 55 minutes.
On another day you could do 11 different exercises, use different tools. There are different exercises to work the same muscle groups. A TRX band can be simply made from a solid rope that can bear your weight. This can be done with cans and bottles, light resistant bands, just the movements or any way your doctor recommends.
Always start out slow, be safe, (I don't want to fall) listen to your body and put in movements like I did with the bike to control my heart rate.
I know Reeves, I'm bored with your stuff. I get it, but gee Wally I did it! Keep walking😎
