Density Workout #1 - Full Body

Hey everyone,

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!
