360fit 20 Min Workout Part 4 by Devin Sherrington

There is no better way to really push your limits than hitting your legs hard! In fact that's usually the reason many people don't like to work legs as its hard.

But when it comes to fat burning, and bang for your buck, nothing get that heart racing more than legs.

Here's part four in my 20 Min workout series, leg blast day.

Get warm before starting this, a short jog etc, just to make sure you are good and warmed up before you get rolling.

Squats 30 reps
Lying Hips Raises (on you back knees at 90 degrees, lift your butt up as high as you can) 30 reps
Standing Calf Raises 30 reps
Jump squats 10 reps
30sec break

Do as many rounds as you can get done in 20 Min. It's tough but its a great way to work hard in a short time.

Hotel Workout by Devin Sherrington

I have many clients who travel a fair amount and they are always looking for things to do on the road. The great thing about exercise and fitness is that you can workout without equiopment. You have a body - so use it!

Here a a great little workout anyone can do on the road, or at home.

Pushups 10-20 reps
Squats 25-50 reps
Crunches 25 reps
Jump squats 20 reps
Pushup hold (hold half way down into a pushup) as long as you can hold it!
Leg Raises 20 reps

Do each exercise and then move on to the next one with as little break as possible. When you have finished one round take a one minute break and then go again. Do four rounds.

When you are done that, go walk stairs for 15 minutes. You don't have to run just get a pace you can handle and don't stop until you are done.

This workout won't take you more than 40 minutes to finish but if you do it I promise you will be sweating hard, and be tired when you are done!

So don't worry about fitness on the road. You don't need a gym, or even weights! Just some will power and less than an hour of your time..

360fit - Pushing Your Workouts Farther

Have you ever had a hard workout and thought, "I can't do anymore?" The reason it feels so hard is because you're making it that way.

If you think something is hard, it will be. The more you create something as hard in your head, the harder it will be. When I was a teenager I thought I would be crazy strong if I could squat 315 lbs. (I thought it would impress girls too but that's another story.)

Every time I worked out I thought of how hard it was going to be squatting that weight. Now in a few years I could do that and more. But along the way something funny happened. Whenever I squatted 315 it felt super heavy. Heavier than 405 and heavier than 450.

Of course that doesn't make much sense, but it was how it felt. Even to this day, almost 20 years later I still find 315 crushingly heavy, much more so than heavier weight.

That's because I created a belief in my head that it would be tough and I still have that in there. I've made it feel that way, and made squats tougher for myself.



Now my rule is whenever I do anything I find hard in a workout I tell myself, "This is easy! This is easy!" The more I say it the easier I find the workout feels. Even though I know I'm tricking myself into it, I still will work harder and get a much better workout because I did it.

So next time you do something hard in the gym, think, "This is easy! I can do this!" and you'll be able to do it much more easily. Remember, whatever your head thinks, your body will feel.
