The Exercises.
Here’s a list of the exercises we are going to use – my Simple Man 12. We’ll default to the movement in the far left column, and some different versions if you want to dial down the intensity or take it up a notch. See how to do each exercise in the Demos section on page 58 of the Appendix.
Warmup
Here’s a quick two-minute warmup I’d suggest doing before starting any of the workouts. This specific one can be used every single time you exercise. Perform 30 seconds of each movement, switching from movement to movement without rest in between:
a. Jumping jacks
b. Mountain climbers
c. High knees
d. Jumping jacks
The Structures.
All of the workouts will use one or more of the simple structures below.
Up The Ladder
You’ll see something like Up The Ladder, 2-4-6-8-10…
followed by two exercises, say pushups and squats. You’ll perform 2 pushups, 2 squats, then 4 pushups, 4 squats, and continue as far up the ladder
in the prescribed time. Your score is your last completed rung
of the ladder, plus any reps completed towards the next rung.
Down The Ladder
You’ll see something like Down The Ladder, 40-30-20-10:
followed by two exercises, say squats and mountain climbers. You’ll perform 40 squats, 40 mountain climbers, then 30 squats, 30 mountain climbers, and continue as far down the ladder
in the prescribed time. Your score is your last completed rung
of the ladder, plus any reps completed towards the next rung.
AMRAP
Stands for As Many Rounds/Reps As Possible. You’ll see something like AMRAP
followed by a number of exercises, say 15 situps and 15 lunges, and a timeframe, like 5 minutes. You’ll perform 15 situps, 15 lunges, then 15 situps, 15 lunges, repeating as many times as possible in the prescribed time. Your score is your number of rounds completed, plus any reps completed towards the next round.
Tabata
You’ll see something like Tabata
followed by an exercise, say pushups. You’ll perform as many pushups as you can in 20 seconds, then rest for 10 seconds. Repeat this pattern for 8 rounds, mentally tracking your reps for each round. Your score is the number of reps completed in your worst round. For example, if your 8 round rep counts are 10,11,12,10,10,9,9,10, your score is 9. You can use a timer or stopwatch to do Tabatas, but the timing can sometimes be tricky. Here’s a timer for your laptop and another for your phone. Either of these will do just fine!
