12 Minute HWR Workout

This morning, I attacked the 12 minute HWR workout with a slight modification to it.

HWR follows the 20/10 work/rest pattern for 4, 6 or 8 rounds per exercise.

Today's workout was:

Jumping Jacks: 4 rounds
Push-Ups: 4 rounds
Bodyweight Squats: 8 rounds
Mountain Climbers: 4 rounds
Bodyweight Lunges: 4 rounds

I replaced the lunges with 4 more rounds of Mountain Climbers. 

I've been a big fan of the 20/10 work/rest pattern ever since I came across it around 2000 in a fitness magazine and learned more about the "Tabata Method".

Since then, numerous fitness experts have taken 20/10 and either used it wisely or went overboard with it.

I have applied it to running workouts for speed efforts and also with strength routines.

Craig Ballantyne's system with HWR is about the best I've come across when it comes to using this format sensibly and in a concise manner, and he does it completely with bodyweight movements, meaning you don't need equipment right away to do this.

If you wanted to add weights or resistance bands later, you are free to do that. I've done it with kettlebells, dumbbells and other exercise tools like push-up handles and stability balls.

For only $47, you can get yourself over 50 videos and plenty of workout/diet downloads to go with it, and get it instantly - no shipping, like other programs you may order elsewhere for a lot more money - and start tonight with the workouts.
