You got 4 minutes? I'm going to show you how 240 seconds can feel like 2 hours and 40 minutes,
or actually, Torture.
What's up, guys? Jeff Cavaliere, ATHLEANX.COM. 240 seconds. How can we make that be a legitimate
workout?
Well, when you apply what we call Athean Burst Training, where you're working strength training
into your conditioning, working on getting your heart rate up.
Oh, you can do it, and anybody that's tried our stuff before can tell you that. As a matter
of fact, today, I am not going to be talking by the end of this video.
So, I'll do it right now. We have 240 seconds, 4 minutes of activity here, 1 minute each
of 4 different exercises.
We call it Torture 240. It also is going to torture your muscles. You will see quickly,
again, as you start to work your way through this.
Single Leg Lateral Burpees. I'll show you what all these look like as I start doing
them. One minute for those.
Dumbbell Renegade Press. It's a Renegade Row with a slight variation on it and a balance
component. Again, athleticism is built into all of our Athlean Burst Workouts.
So, they're all-encompassing, right? You got to train more than just cardio which is why
we sort of have our whole Burst Training Philosophy. This will execute and show us that.
Alternating Side Kickthroughs. An athletic-type movement, conditioning based. You'll see what
we do there.
And finally, Jump Tuck Splits, a minute of those. So, all you need is a stopwatch. You
need that one pair of dumbbells to do exercise number 2.
But again, this is what Athlean Burst is. If you haven't already guys, then head over
to AthleanX.com right now, grab our training program.
Burst Training is mixed in with our Strength Training, and they're also mixed in with Rest
Days because as you see, when you start training hard, you can't train for long.
And you certainly need to rest and recovery built in. So, with that said, let's come over
here and try to work this workout through all the way.
So, I got my stopwatch. Again, Single Leg Burpees is where we're going to start. And
we're going right into Dumbbell Renegade Press. So, I start this.
I'm going to put it right down there on the ground. We're going to come over to the side,
hop down, that leg stays up in the air.
Ok. Down, leg up in the air. Ok, so In the Single Leg, there's a lot of balance. Ok,
down, Burpee, over, and Burpee.
Try to make sure you're breathing.
Work on that lateral explosion to the side.
Again, athleticism doesn't occur in one plane, it occurs in all 3, so you got to train that
way.
Where am I at? 49, ok one more, a minute.
Next, is our our Renegade Press. Set them over here. Row, Row, hop into a balanced position,
press it.
What's difficult is, when I hop in, I'm up on my toes. So, any lateral balance, I'm either
going to fall forward, to the side or back. Try not to.
So, Row, Row, Hop in, Clean them, press. Again, I'm at balance point. Back down, Row, Row.
35-pounders for me here.
Two down, two to go.
Next, Alternating Side Kickthroughs. In position down here like this and then kick through.
Roll your other arm out.
Back up, kick through, roll your other arm out. There you go. A lot of one-armed, controlled
strength needed here through the shoulders.
A lot of side-step work through my legs.
One minute. Whew.
Saved the best for last. Jump Tuck Splits. So from here, Split, Split, Jump, Tuck. Alright,
here we go, finishing it off.
1, 2, in, Jump Tuck.
Starting to burn.
Whew, couple more. Can't get them up any more. whew.
Can't even lift them. One minute.
If you want to see how you can trade in long workouts for hard workouts, and get much more
effective benefits for your training,
then it's time you start training like an athlete and join us here on Team Athlean.
I'll see you guys over at AthleanX.com. As I said, I shouldn't even be talking. I'm going
to recover. See you.
