10 Minute Metabolic Booster
You are going to love this workout and FUNNY interval story today.
Let’s get you started with a NO-equipment bodyweight-only workout to keep the fat burning all day long. I tested this one first thing Saturday morning after an eventful walk with ol’ Bally the Dog, my chocolate lab.
10-Minute Metabolism Booster – aka “Metabolic Treasure”
1) Cross-Body Mountain Climbers (or Plank) – 30 seconds
2) Total Body Extensions – 2 x 20 seconds + 10 seconds rest
3) Pushups (or hold Push-up Plank) – 50 seconds + 10 seconds rest
4) Prisoner Squat Jumps or Prisoner Squats – 20 seconds + 10 seconds rest
5) Bear Crawl or Mountain Climbers – 30 seconds
6) Prisoner Reverse Lunges (alternating) – 60 seconds
– Rest 30 seconds and repeat 1 more time
Following the circuit I did a WEIRD interval.
I blame ol’ Bally the Dog (even though it was my fault).
Before doing the 10-Minute Metabolism Booster, Bally and I went for his normal walk. That also meant he went for his normal poop. But I did not bring a bag! We had no choice but to leave a little “treasure” on the ground…
…until after the workout when I sprinted around the block, picked up the “Bally Treasure“, and then sprinted down the street with it (waving at all the neighbors out walking their dogs – ha!), dropped off the treasure in the garbage, and sprinted home. Time = 8 minutes. I was whooped.
Please don’t call the poop police on me! I swear I picked it up – eventually.
After the interval I added in a leisurely bike ride around the Avon River in my hometown of Stratford, Ontario, and spent the rest of a beautiful summer Saturday reading, visiting with neighbors, and grilling delicious steak.
By the way, I also made a really odd, but delicious Gluten-Free cereal for post-workout breakfast. Here’s what it was…
The “cereal” was:
– 3 oz walnuts
– 1/2 cup blueberries
And the “milk” was:
– 10oz water
– 4 ice cubes
– 2 scoops of pea protein
– 1/2 avocado
– 1/4 cup blueberries
– 1/2 cup kale (you can’t taste it!)
That’s just one of my weird paleo/gluten-free breakfasts that I make. I’ll have a lot more nutrition info for you starting tomorrow during our 1st ever “TT Advanced Nutrition for Fat Loss” week. Stay tuned.
Until then, I hope you had a great weekend. I know your week will be fantastic because it will be boosted by that workout and the nutrition secrets that start tomorrow.
Now go and enjoy that metabolic treasure
