We got home from work and were in a rush to fit in a workout. Due to an evening commitment, we only had 45 minutes available. In these situations, we usually turn to one of our favourite workout styles - density training. It allows us to accomplish a significant amount of high-intensity exercise in a short amount of time, without sacrificing the quality of exercises or the amount of weight lifted.
We had also decided to change-up our workout routine and do some full-body training. Here's what we did for our full-body density workout:
- Parallel-grip pullups (Tannys - bodyweight; Alex - 106lbs)
- Kettlebell goblet squats (Tannys - 12kg; Alex - 24kg)
- Turkish Get Ups (Tannys - 12kg; Alex - 32kg)
- Alternating kettlebell rows (Tannys - 16kg; Alex - 106lbs)
- One-leg, double kettlebell deadlifts (Tannys - 12kg; Alex - 24kg)
- Jungle Gym atomic pushups
- Burpee/wide-grip pullups
- Kettlebell clean & press (Tannys - 12kg; Alex - 24kg)
- Jungle Gym pistol squats
- Plyometric pushups
This was a fast-paced, yet enjoyable workout - fully finished in 33 minutes! It was sufficiently challenging and we enjoyed the change in targeting full-body (all muscle groups). Tomorrow, we will be trying another full-body density workout, which will be an interesting experiment in whether it's advisable to do back-to-back full-body workouts. Hopefully by selecting different exercises, it will be okay. Stay tuned to find out!
