8 Functional Exercises to Tone Your Body in One Fell Swoop

Being able to easily do everyday things like getting up from the floor or walking up and down the stairs is important when it comes to feeling happy and healthy.

The best type of exercise to assure that you’ll be able to do these everyday movements with ease is functional training.

Functional training works to mirror daily movements by moving your body in every plane of motion and by working multiple body parts at once. These easy functional exercises will increase your flexibility, improve your posture, and reduce your chance of injury. The best part is that you can do all of these functional exercises from the comfort of your home – no gym, heavy weights, or treadmill required.

For best results, do 2 sets of each of the functional exercises below.

Wide Push-Ups | 15 reps

This functional exercise strengthens and tones the chest, shoulders, arms, and core!

Begin in a high plank position with your shoulders stacked over your wrists. Then, walk your hands out a little bit wider than your shoulders. Firm up your quadriceps and engage your abs. Press the ground away so that the space between your shoulders rises up slightly.

Inhale to bend your elbows to 90 degree angles, lowering your chest half way towards the ground. Your elbows should point out at 45 degree angles and your hips should stay in line with your shoulders.

Exhale and press the ground away to straighten your arms back out. Repeat for 15 reps.

To Modify: If you feel your lower back arching or if it is too challenging to push back up, lower to your knees. Make sure to squeeze your glutes and keep your hips in line with your shoulders.

Spider Plank | 20 reps, alt sides

This exercise increases coordination and tones the shoulders, arms, abs, and lower back. Bonus: It gets the heart rate going!

To start, find a high plank position. Stack your shoulders over your wrists, engage your abs, and squeeze your glutes. Bring your feet together.

Shift the weight onto your left foot and slowly pick up your right foot. Exhale and tap your right knee to your right triceps while keeping the high plank position with your upper body.

Inhale to take the right foot back to start. Pick up your left foot and exhale to tap your left knee to your left triceps. Inhale to take your left foot back to start. Continue alternating for 20 reps.

---

Single Leg Deadlift | 15 reps per side

This exercise increases balance, coordination, and flexibility while toning the hamstrings, glutes, and core.

Start standing up with your feet together. Engage your abs and squeeze your shoulder blades together.

Shift your weight onto your left foot and point your right foot on the floor behind you. Reach your right hand slightly forward and place your left hand on your hip. Keep a small bend in your left knee to keep it from locking out.

Maintain a lift in your chest as you inhale to slowly lift your right foot up and lower your torso towards the ground at the same time. Keep your back flat and reach your right hand towards your left knee. Exhale to slowly stand back up to start. Repeat for 15 reps and then switch sides.

---

Walk Ups | 8 reps per side

This dynamic exercise replicates getting up and down off the floor. It will help strengthen and tone your quadriceps, glutes, hamstrings, and core.

To begin, kneel down on a mat. Place your hands on your hips, engage your core, and squeeze your shoulders down your back.

Shift your weight onto your left leg and pick up your right leg. Keep your right knee bent and place your right foot out in front of you so that the knee is at a 90 degree angle.

Then, press into your right foot to pick up your left leg. Keep the left knee bent to place your left foot down. You should end up in a squat, then straighten your legs and stand all the way up.

To take it back down, shift your weight onto the left leg again, bend your left knee and carefully lower your right knee back down to the mat. Shift the weight onto your right knee and slowly place the left knee down so that you are back in the start position. Repeat that for 8 reps, going up and down with the right leg first. Then switch sides for 8 reps, going up and down with the left leg first.

---

Plank Press-Up | 8 reps each side

This exercise works the shoulders, triceps, biceps, core, and even the thighs. It also gives you a big cardio boost.

Start in a high plank position. Bring your feet together and squeeze your glutes, quadriceps, and abs. Your hips should be in a straight line with your shoulders.

Shift your weight onto your left hand. Inhale and pick up your right hand, bend the elbow and slowly lower down onto the right forearm. Shift your weight onto your right forearm, pick up your left hand, bend the elbow and place your left forearm down.

Now you should be in a forearm plank position. Make sure your hips are still in line with your shoulders.

Next, shift the weight onto your left forearm and pick you right forearm up. Place your right hand on the mat below your right shoulder. Exhale and press into your right hand, pick up your left forearm and place your left hand on the mat. Now you should be in a high plank position. Repeat for 8 reps using your right arm first and then switch sides for 8 reps using your left arm first.

To Modify: Lower to your knees for the whole exercise, making sure to squeeze the glutes and keep the hips in a straight line with your shoulders the whole time.

---

Superman | 15 reps

This exercise tones and strengthens the entire backside.

To begin, lie on the floor face down. Place your forehead on your mat and spread your arms out wide with your palms face down. Your hands should be slightly in front of your shoulders.

Inhale to lift your chest, arms, legs, and feet off the ground. Keep your gaze down on your mat so that your neck is long. Reach through your fingertips and toes, and feel your spine, glutes, and thighs strengthening.

Hold for a moment at the top and then exhale to release back down. Repeat for 15 reps.

Lunge with Rotation | 10 reps per side

This exercise increases balance and coordination while toning the glutes, hamstrings, quadriceps, and the obliques.

Start standing with your feet together and place your hands together in a prayer position in front of your chest.

Step out into a lunge with your right foot. Bend both knees towards 90 degrees so that your left knee hovers above the ground about an inch.

Staying in your lunge, exhale to twist your torso to the right. Inhale to twist back to center, then push through your right heel and step your right foot back to meet your left. Repeat 10 times and then switch sides.

---

Side Plank with Twists | 12 reps per side

This exercise increases strength in the shoulders, arms, obliques, and core.

Start in a high plank position with your shoulders stacked over your wrists. Bring your feet together.

Pick up your right hand and place it underneath your face. Spread the fingers wide and press down through the palm and knuckles. Keep your feet flexed as you spin your heels to the right. Stack your left foot on top of your right food. Then, inhale to reach your left arm up towards the ceiling. Lift up through your left hip and keep it from dumping weight into your right shoulder and wrist.

Keep the side plank position and exhale to sweep your left hand underneath your torso, bringing your upper body into a twist. Inhale to reach your hand back up. Repeat for 12 reps, then switch sides.

10 Effective HIIT Workouts to Work You into Shape

 

Click HERE to Discover these 80 Keto-Friendly and Healthy Slow Cooker Recipes

High intensity interval training has gained in popularity as our time has become increasingly encroached upon, by modern stressors and demands.

For those who may not know what HIIT exactly consists of, I’ll explain. A standard workout used to consist of maybe a jog, followed by a bodybuilding style weight training circuit.

Whether it consisted of free weights or machines, the actual progression and design of the workout never really differed all that much. With CrossFit and metabolic conditioning switching things up a bit, these workouts have become slightly less popular, but only slightly. For the majority of exercisers out there, they still fall back on the “jog then lift weights” routine.

What is HIIT?

High intensity interval training turns that notion on its head. Basically designed to get you in and out of the gym as fast as possible, HIIT gets your heart rate close to its max and then lets you rest briefly before you do it all again.

By alternating between low/moderate intensity exercises and high intensity ones, you are able to accomplish a lot more in a briefer time period. Ideally, you’ll be able to increase your anaerobic capacity, which actually increases your aerobic capacity as well.

This is why sprinting for short periods of time is generally more beneficial than jogging for a long period of time. Jogging will increase your aerobic capacity, sure, but it does nothing for your anaerobic endurance. The distinction may seem small, but in total health, both capacities are equally important.

Some sources also report that HIIT may be better for fat loss, as well as possibly benefitting your metabolism. So what kind of workouts can one perform, exactly?

Here are 10 effective HIIT workouts for you to try.

1. Walk and Sprint

This one is as simple as the name implies. Usually most people do best with a 30 second walk, followed by a 30 second sprint. Repeat this about 8-10 times, and you should be feeling the burn. By the time you get to sprint number 3 or 4, you will very likely be feeling like death. Push through this period, and you’ll reap the benefits.

As you progress, you can increase the number of rounds, or you can sprint and walk up a steep hill. This is a time tested, simple, but effective, workout. It works just as well whether you’re 15 years old, or 50. It works for high level athletes, as well as for everyday Joe’s. Try it!

2. Jog and Sprint

As you progress your fitness, you may be able to pull off this workout. This is just like our first workout, but here you will jog, instead of walk. If this sounds exhausting just reading it, perhaps it is best to start with the first workout. There is always room to progress!

You could also shorten the number of rounds to 4-5, if you feel more comfortable starting there. Once you’ve mastered this workout, your aerobic and anaerobic capacities should both be fantastic.

3. Infinite Push-ups

This one is about as fun as it sounds. You will be performing 10 push-ups at a time. Rest for 30 seconds, and then do 10 more. To increase the difficulty, rest for 15 seconds instead of 30. If you’re feeling really frisky, you can cut the rest time down to 10 seconds, though I wouldn’t recommend it, unless you really know what you’re doing.

You can perform as many rounds as you like, though I’ve found that most clients feel challenged just doing 10 rounds. Your experience may vary. The advantages of this workout are that it’s easy, simple and is an excellent strength training workout that can be done anywhere. Especially good for traveling.

4. Infinite Squats

Everyone – and I do mean everyone – hates this one. However, if you’re brave enough to try it, you will find just how beneficial this workout can be. Air squats are not terrible on their own. But when you are doing infinite rounds, and only resting 30 seconds between rounds, it is not so ideal. Make sure you are able to squat first, and then check your form, either with a partner or in a mirror. Make sure you are going ‘below parallel’ (you can Google that term) and that your mechanics are exactly correct.

Watch this video – How to Do Proper Squat for Beginners

Squats are very commonly performed incorrectly, and you don’t want to be doing them wrong – trust me. The setup is similar to our previous exercises here – 10 repetitions, wait 30 seconds, repeat ad nauseam. Women – pay close attention to this workout. It is possibly the single best thing you can do, to get a better butt.

5. Push and Squat

Combining our fourth and fifth exercises, we get the ‘push and squat’ routine. 10 pushups, followed by 10 air squats. Rest 30 seconds, and then repeat again.

For extra difficulty, perform one push-up, followed by one squat, until you get to 10 of each. It sounds easy, but I promise you’ll be hating me in the middle of it! If you are on the road and need a total body workout, this is one of your best choices.

Exercising when jet lagged can have benefits, in order to help you get acquainted to the current time zone. I like to do this one when I’ve been cooped up in a car all day, maybe followed by some sprints. Gets all your frustration out, costs you nothing, and works most of your body.

6. Sit Up and Jump

This one will be familiar to athletes. You will perform 10 sit ups, stand up, and perform 10 vertical leaps. Try and reach as high as you can each time, as well as to go all the way down, each time you prepare your jump.

Think of yourself as one big spring, and you want to get everything out of each repetition. You will then rest for 30 seconds to 1 minute. To make this one harder, add in a round of 10 pushups, after your vertical leaps.

7. Infinite Burpees

I’m sorry in advance. No one likes burpees. If you recall squat thrusts from gym class, you already know what a burpee is. If not, you can find many instructional videos which will show you the correct form (such as the one listed below).

Watch this video – How to do Burpees

Doesn’t that look like tons of fun?! 10 burpees, followed by 30-60 seconds of rest, and then repeat. Stop when you think you may throw up.

I wish there was a way to make this easier for you, but unfortunately, burpees never get easier – no matter how long you’ve been doing them. As far as increasing the difficulty – trust me, you won’t want to make this routine any harder than it already is.

8. Prison Workout

Again – it’s all in the name. We will be doing 5 pull-ups, 10 prisoner squats and 15 push-ups. Rest for 1 minute, and do it again. You will need a pull up bar for this one, but otherwise it’s all just bodyweight exercises. Hopefully you aren’t in solitary confinement when you perform this workout!

Watch this video – Prison Squat Challenge

9. Seal Jumps

Seal jumps are not a common exercise that you may see in the gym. The below video will help describe them to you, but if you feel a little silly, you can replace the seal jumps with jumping jacks.

You’ll be performing 50 jumps, resting for 1 minute, and then continuing. To these as fast as possible, while still maintaining good form. Not as easy as it sounds.

Watch this video – Basic Seal Jumping Jacks

10. Sprint, Push and Squat

For our last routine, we combine 3 of our earlier exercises. You’ll start by performing a 15 second sprint. From there, drop down and do 10 pushups, followed by 10 squats. Rest for 30 seconds to 1 minute, and then repeat. This hits all of our target areas, and is relatively simple to do.

It is – however – not easy by any means. You can continue for as many rounds as you like, but it is not a routine that you will be able to do for long periods of time.

Conclusion

I hope you’ve enjoyed these routines, as HIIT workouts are very good for traveling, or when time-pressed. You can easily create your own, of course, as well. Exercising doesn’t have to be boring or monotonous. Just get creative and mix things up.

Chances are, you’ll find an infinite number of solutions to getting in shape. Don’t let the old gym traditions and stale routines hold you back!

Here are the 5 Reasons to Start Interval Training

 

Click HERE to Discover these 80 Keto-Friendly and Healthy Slow Cooker Recipes

Some say slow and steady winds the race. When it comes to cardio, the opposite is true.

The problem most people make with their cardio is that they place too much emphasis on the duration of their workout. Instead, they should focus on the one thing that really matters – intensity.

This is where interval training comes in.

Interval training alternates periods of sprinting (or close-to-sprinting) efforts followed by periods of rest, or easy movement. The beauty is you can choose whatever cardio tool you wish – cycling, running, boxing, even walking if you alternate the speed.

They can be tailored to any age and fitness level.

Here are 5 reasons to start interval training as part of your Paleo lifestyle.

1. Interval Training Is More Effective Than Continuous Cardio

The main goal of nearly all beginner exercisers is fat loss. Can you guess the main exercise people chose in their battle of the bulge?

Jogging or walking.

Whilst these are great choice for absolute beginners, they become ineffective for fat loss and cardiovascular fitness after 2-3 months.

Recent studies have shown that only three 27-min interval sessions burn a greater amount of fat compared to five 60-min continuous sessions!

So if your primary goal is fat loss, skip the long duration cardio workouts and focus instead on high intensity interval training.

2. Interval Training Creates The “After-burn”

Where interval training workouts are superior is the fact they keep burning calories after the workout. This is referred to as the “after-burn” effect.

In short, your body cannot supply enough oxygen during a hard sprint. So you create a “debt” of oxygen that needs to be repaid. During continuous cardio – such as the previous example of a walk or jog – there is a very small debt that is repaid virtually immediately. This results in no after-burn effect.

The debt achieved during high intensity interval training is much higher. Your metabolism is revved up for hours after your workout ends. Fitness professionals refer to this phenomenon as excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC).

Basically this means your heart rate, oxygen consumption, and blood flow is increased. This requires more calories, and in turn means greater fat loss.

If you want to take advantage of EPOC and burn more calories after your gym workout, be sure to schedule regular interval sessions into your weekly schedule.

3. Interval Training Spares Muscle Tissue

Muscle tissue has an immediate impact on your metabolism; the more muscle you carry, the higher your resting metabolism.

This is why resistance training should be a priority every week. It will help you burn more fat, re-shape your body and increase your muscle tissue. All of which result in a leaner, stronger and better-looking body.

It’s worth noting that excessive cardio can actually deplete muscle tissue. This means that you could potentially sacrifice your metabolism permanently in an attempt to burn more fat.

Not good.

However recent studies have shown that if you start interval training, you can actually spare muscle tissue.

The studies demonstrated that the longer the cardio session was, the greater the impairment of muscle tissue.  However the studies found that short, high intensity bouts of cardio (such as repeated sprinting or cycling intervals) didn’t impact on strength or hypertrophy development.

Your goal is to maintain muscle, so that your metabolism can remain elevated. Interval training is perfect for this.

4. Interval Training Burns More Fat

What was also interested from the studies was that interval cardio was not just better for strength and hypertrophy; it was also superior for fat loss.

It was shown that subjects who performed four-to-six sets of 30-second sprints lost twice as much body fat as people who performed low intensity cardio for 30-60 minutes.

5. Interval Training Saves Time

Interval training will save you hours each week. Anything that saves time in today’s busy lifestyle is a bonus.

Interval training workouts are short, effective, and can completed in as little as 15-20 minutes. If you were to replace 4 x 60-minute continuous cardio workouts each week with 4 x 15-minute interval training workouts, you have effectively created 3 additional hours each week.

You can use this for meal preparation, spend it on important work tasks, or simply enjoy more time with your family.

The actual time spent on the workout is irrelevant. It is a matter of quality over quantity.

Wrapping up

Don’t worry if you can’t find a gym – the beauty of interval training is that it can be done anywhere, anytime. You can run, walk, or even use body weight resistance exercises to create your interval training workout.

Interval training reigns supreme in the battle for a higher metabolism, improved aerobic fitness and increased fat burn.

What is Creatine and Why Your Body Need Creatine?

 

Click HERE to Discover these 80 Keto-Friendly and Healthy Slow Cooker Recipes

Creatine – What It Is and Is It Right For You?

When most people hear the word creatine, they immediately think of high school or college-age jocks trying to get bigger and stronger. But this protein is far more than just a muscle-building supplement.

In fact, its benefits range from improved cognitive function, concussion prevention, autoimmune support and even improvement of some chronic degenerative conditions.

Not quite sure what creatine can do for you? Let’s take a closer look.

What is Creatine?

Creatine is a protein that is produced naturally in the body and is found in abundance in animal protein.

Creatine is a high-energy molecule made up of three amino acids – arginine, methionine and glycine – that helps to produce ATP, the energy currency of every cell in your body. Without ATP, your cells would have no fuel and you wouldn’t even survive!

Animal protein is the best food source of creatine, such as grass-fed beef, wild game meats, ocean-fresh fish and free-range poultry. So, if you’re already following a Paleo approach to eating, naturally rich in animal protein, why would you need to add more via a supplement?

Adding a creatine supplement allows your body to store greater than normal levels of it in the body, thereby providing an added source of ATP to support your muscles and your brain. While these supra-physiological doses may not be exactly Paleo, there could be certain scenarios where you can get significant benefits.

Can Creatine Boost Your Performance In The Gym?

If you want to improve your performance in any sport, then improving your power, strength and lean muscle mass are key factors. Creatine significantly improves all of these areas, and then some.

Increasing your maximum strength is like adding more horsepower to your car’s engine; the stronger you are, the faster you run. Supplementing with creatine is proven to increase your max strength by 5-15%, which translates to more weight on your squat, deadlift or Olympic lifts.

If you want to add lean muscle, creatine has been proven to add 2-4 lb. of fat-free lean muscle in 4 to 12 weeks of training. The muscle growth comes from the body’s capacity to increase ATP production from this supplementation, allowing you to train harder and recover faster.

Creatine supplementation has also been shown to increase sprint performance, as well as endurance during repeated sprints.  This can help endurance athletes improve 5k, 10k and marathon times, cyclists upgrade time trial personal bests, and CrossFitters achieve superior WOD times.

If you’re not wanting bigger muscles, simply modifying the dose can mitigate these effects.

The benefits don’t stop there.

---

Can Creatine Boost Performance at Work?

One of the most common questions I get asked by clients in clinical practice is, “How can I improve my mental focus and memory?” If you want to upgrade cognitive function, working memory and intelligence, then creatine may help unlock your true potential.

Creatine has shown significant promise as a potent brain-boosting nutrient. A study at the University of Sydney examined the effects of 6 weeks of supplementation (5g per day) on memory and intelligence. 

The researchers found those people supplementing with creatine had improved working memory, reduced mental fatigue and increased intelligence. That’s right, not only can you remember more details and maintain your focus for an increased number of hours, you actually get smarter, as well!

More and more research is coming down the pipeline uncovering creatine’s ability to boost brain function, focus and mental productivity. However, you can eat all the meat in the world, but your natural levels cannot reach these supra-physiological levels without added supplementation.

Tempted to start benefiting from higher creatine and ATP levels in your body? Let’s take a look at whether this stuff is really safe.

---

Is Creatine Safe?

Anecdotal side effects of creatine often heard in the media include dehydration, cramping, musculoskeletal injury, gastrointestinal distress and kidney damage, yet the research does not support these claims.

While these side effects seem scary, none of this has been shown in the research studies. In fact, research on creatine supplementation of 10 months to 5 years found no negative effects on kidney function and has in fact been linked with improving medical conditions such as brain and spinal cord injuries, muscular dystrophy, diabetes and high cholesterol.

With all the fad supplements out there, creatine is a proven and safe strategy for upgrading your health and your performance. Let me walk you through the approach I typically recommend to my clients.

---

How Much Should I Take?

If you want to boost your performance in the gym and at work and give creatine a try, here is the best way to start. For men, add a 5g serving every day with a meal; for women, 3g per day.

Creatine monohydrate is the most cost-effective form and actually the type they use in all the research studies, so save yourself a few dollars and forget the expensive stuff with supposed “bells and whistles”.

Giving creatine a try? For men, start with 5g serving every day with a meal; for women, 3g per day.

You can add a powder form (make sure it has no added sugar) into some water and drink it; just be sure to eat a meal at the same time, as elevated blood sugars and insulin help improve absorption. You can also opt for capsules, but it’s a lot of pills to take on a daily basis (typically 6 x 500mg for women and 10 x 500mg for men).

Continue for 8-12 weeks and see for yourself how you look, feel and perform. If you’re satisfied with your results, you can discontinue it. The washout period for creatine levels to return to pre-supplement baseline is about 30 days.

If you want to continue, the research shows you can maintain your dose for 6-12 months, if desired. However, periodic tapers of 2-3 weeks is recommended every 3 months.

Just remember that creatine isn’t a quick fix. You still need to eat real, whole food, train properly and get quality sleep if you want to improve brain function and body composition. If your diet and lifestyle are junk, supplementing isn’t going to help much.
