Three Exercises for a Full Body Workout

When you can't make it to the gym, try this full-body circuit that's easy to accomplish at home with minimal tools.

Perform the prescribed repetitions of each exercise in order with a 60 seconds rest between each. Perform 3 - 4 rounds of the circuit.

Exercise 1: Bent over batwing rows.

Perform 10 reps on each arm. I’m using a 30 lb ruck plate in on arm and a 35 lb kettlebell in the other. It’s important to keep your core, legs and glute engaged during the duration of this movement to protect your lower back. On the batwing side (isometric) make sure your engaging your lat to hold the weight steady.

Exercise 2: Elevated single leg bridge.

Perform 10 reps per leg. Before elevating make sure to tuck your tailbone and then drive through your foot as you squeeze your glute. Hold at the top for 1 second.

Exercise 3: Rucksack pushups.

Perform one rep short of the maximum repetitions you can. Start in a plank position with your tailbone tucked and core engaged. Lower down to the ground and then drive through your hands, keep your elbows tucked, and squeeze your chest to get back to the starting position.
