Yes! Finished today’s workout and the time FLEW by. I champion the short, fast, to the point workout.
There’s just so doggone much to do and so I like to get my energizing, muscle-building, stress-reducing, good sleep enhancing, body shaping (can you tell I have a long list of benefits to exercise?) workouts in in record time so the rest of the day I am N-R-GIZED and all my other “activity” can be play!
37 minutes from start to finish. Supersets with 2 moves each (total of 6 moves):
Split Lunges and Pullups
Dead Lifts and Front Planks
Squats and One-Arm Rows
and 4 intervals on my air bike
Oh yes, followed by some hamstring stretches and I still got it in under the 37 minute wire!
Lani,
I love your approach to fitness! Exercise needs to be something we can fit easily into our daily lives. The benefits are endless.
Hi Djones, thanks, I can tell that you like “to the point” workouts as well. It’s just one more way to make sure we get them done, right? Thanks for the positive comments!
Lani,
Sounds like you are doing some TT! I am thinking about doing the trial for $4.95. Do I need any special equipment at home? And how would this be incorporated with T-tapp? Do you have any existing articles on this somewhere?
Thanks.

Hi Terry,
You can actually do LOTS of this type of workout with just bodyweight. Very flexible that way. You can also use dumbells, restance bands, kettlebells…all of ’em.
The workout I do is really Super Sets, which TurbTraining is based on, so that is a close match for my system – I’ll have to make my own booklet to show you exactly what I do! But the TT info is fantastic and will get you going perfectly, and you can always pop in here for tweaks!
It works great in combo with T-Tapp. I do T-Tapp usually once a week now, to keep my alignment and form in check, then power through SuperSets on other days because I just like this schedule and am getting excellent results from it.
I recently made a YouTube video on form with weights and will need to make more!
Lani
Oh – I meant to add, as you asked if I had an article – I’ll pull an article I wrote for me Ezine not too long ago about Super Sets and will put it up as a post for easy reference!
Thanks Terry!

Ok, Lani – is this something that I, with bad knees, can at least try?? And what are air bikes (you did 4 intervals on your air bike, and I will assume it might be like the air guitar – and if not, you had your laugh for the day lol).
btw – I love this blog and vid’s!!!

Hey Paym!
You won’t believe this but I was just putting the final edit on a knee article to post when I saw your comment! Perfectly applicable! Take a look when it goes up (you’ve inspired me to post it asap so we can compare notes) and we’ll look at your question in the light of those simple instructions – OK? (and yes, I think you can try and I’ll give you some more pertinent tips).
And thanks for the excellent belly laugh on the air guitar! My bike is a Tunturi that has a big fan in the wheel area that causes resistance as you pick up speed. And thanks ever-so-mcuh for the positive feedback on the blog and vids – you made my day!
Lani
LOL – any thoughts on what could be used instead of air bike (and not air guitar!)? Anyway, I obviously need some coaching – I did check your site, but not sure of pricing (looking for webcam and phone consultation). I’ll go check again. Thx again!

Paym,
Bike is just one way to get intervals in; you can do intervals of walk/run (may actually end up being easier on your knees, depending), for example. Yet you might want to experiment with utilizing muscles all the way up into your hips while driving the bike, with your feet and knees in alignment, so the knees don’t take as much pressure. Make sense? Play with it and see!
My base website is undergoing some changes and understandabily some things may be tough to find. Drop me an email and we’ll schedule a consult and get you exactly what you need.
