All Natural Workout Tired of surfing the web for good workouts, and only finding websites endorcing those stupid supplements? Well, I was too. So, I decided I’m going to share my own all natural workout with everyone.
This is the most effective workout I’ve ever done in my life. The only thing you’ll need is a pullup bar, but if you want you could purchase the “perfect pushup” additionally.
THE WORKOUT
Here are the exercises for the workout
pullups
hindu pushups
reverse pushups
chinups
“perfect pushup” squats Wow. Seems too simple, right? No weights or anything like that? Yeah, its simple, but like I already said, its the best workout I’ve ever done in my life. This workout is exactly what I used to tie my school’s pullup record (22) set 12 years ago. So first you’re going to need to know what some of the exercises above are. I’ll bet just about everyone doesn’t know what a “hindu pushup” is, so I’m going to tell you what each of these are.
hindu pushup- hindu pushups are a great upper body exercise, especially for your shoulders. To get into the position for it, put your hands on the floor a little more than a foot apart from eachother, then slide your legs up towards your hands, so that your butt is higher up, and spread your feet each about 6 inches. Once you have that done, go down in a swooping motion so that your nose almost touches the ground, while your feet and hands stay where they are(putting on tennis shoes will keep your feet from sliding). Your back should be arced. Then go back to the original position. Here’s a video to give you a better understanding: hindu pushup video reverse pushups- reverse pushups are another great upper body exercise. Instead of trying to explain this to you, I’ll just give you the video link. Here it is: reverse pushup video The only thing I’m going to add is that instead of coming to a full stop when you go down, keep your hands and your feet where they are and immediately go back up. pullups- pullups are often mistaken for “chinups”. Although they are similar, pullups work different muscles than chinups. The difference in the grip on the bar is that for pullups your palms should be facing away from you, so that you’re looking at the back of your hands, and for chinups, your palms are facing you. Here is a video to claridy that: pullup video pullups are another great upper body exercise, especially for your back and shoulders. chinups- chinups are great for your biceps, and are another good upper body exercise. Like I already said, chinups are where your palms are facing you. Here’s a video for them: chinup video “perfect pushup”- this is a product you can find in most sporting goods stores, or even stores like walmart or target. It cost about to buy them, and in my opinion, its worth the money. There’s plenty of great exercises you can do with them to strengthen your upper body.Perfect Pushup official site There’s the link to their site if you’re interested. Squats- squats are a great exercise for your legs, and especially your thighs. A lot of your power for tons of things comes from mainly your thighs. So by doing squats you’ll become faster, stronger, and a lot better in many sports (baseball, football, wrestling, hockey, lacrosse, soccer, etc.) here’s a video that shows how to do a squat: squats don’t focus on what this guys saying about tightening up your muscles, just pay attention to the guys form. Okay. So, now that you know how to do all of the exercises for this workout, you just need to figure out how many repititions (reps) you want to do. I recommend focusing on hindu pushups, pullups, and squats more than the other exercises. I also recommend doing at least 3-4 sets, or rounds of each exercise. I’ll give you a sample workout, and you can adjust it to how you want it.
pullups- 1st round: 15 2nd round: 10 3rd round: 7 hindu pushups- 1st round: 50 2nd round: 30 3rd round: 20 squats- 1st round: 100 2nd round: 60 3rd round: 40 chinups- 1st round: 15 2nd round: 11 3rd round: 8 reverse pushups- 1st round: 35 2nd round: 25 3rd round: 15 Just to give you some background information, I started out only being able to do 12 pullups, 15 hindu pushups, 50 squats, 15 chinups, and 10 reverse pushups. Now, only 3 months later, I can do 22 pullups, 125 hindu pushups, 175 squats, 20 chinups, and 50 reverse pushups. Pretty insane, huh?
