WORKOUT! Looks Better Nekkid at home and at the Gym!

Here is a great workout that you can do at home or at the Gym. This comes from Scott at ScottHermanFitness.com. He also has a great YouTube channel. Link and video of the workout below but here is a summary of the workout.

It is a Core dominate workout. If you are doing this workout at home all you need is a Pillow. If you are doing this workout at the gym a matt that you can fold over itself and a barbell as an option.

Do these 10 exercises in a row 12 - 15 reps and repeat for 3 sets

1. Alternating Tow touch (setting 1) - keep the legs straight raise one up and touch with both hand and then alternate legs crunching up each leg raise.

2. Alternation Tow touch (setting 2) - same as setting 1 but double over the pillow and fold the matt over a few times and place it under your lower back. It will increase the flection of your trunk, increase range of motion thus increasing work done.

3. Over Head Squats - arms are straight over head while you squat just like normal trying to get as low as you can. At the gym you can use a bar, at home use a pillow

4. Left turn / Right Turn (setting 1) - lay on your side grab an imaginary steering wheel in front of you. As you turn the wheel to the left raise you torso to the left. Trying to get the Rib cage and the hip on the left side to touch. Same to the right.

5. Left turn / Right turn (setting 2) - same idea as setting 2 for tow touches

6. Spider Man push ups - as you lower yourself to the ground bring one knee to the bent elbow raise up and replace leg to starting position. Next rep switch legs.

7. Standard Crunches - pull the belly button down as you raise you shoulder blades off the matt

8. Get ups - roll back to the shoulders as you roll forward generate some momentum and kick up your legs to your butt to stand up. Swing you arms if you need for assistance.

9. Single Leg get ups - Same as above but with one leg. Do all with the left then switch to the right. Much harder the both legs

10. Circle Crunch - Trace a semi circle one direction then the other as you raise your torso off the matt.
