RichRuff Training Exercise of the Week: Workout Finisher

Much as been made of "finishers" lately. What is a "finisher? A finisher is an exercise or series of exercises placed at the end of your workout designed to finish your workout and you off. It takes the place of the 10-15 minutes of lazy, ineffective, pointless, low intensity cardio that most people are doing at the end of their workout. Finishers can be made up of a number of exercises and consist of different modes of training equipment. I've used a number of different ones, but one that needs no equipment and one I have been using for awhile is the following:
  • A1 - Jumping Jacks
  • A2 - Mountain Climbers
  • A3 - Side-Side Hops
  • A4 - Burpees
Perfom each exercise for 30 seconds and then move to the next exercise until all four exercises are completed. Rest for two minutes and repeat the circuit anywhere from 2-5 times. Every couple of weeks cut down the rest interval 15 seconds until you get down to 60 seconds. Youre legs will be burning, your heart rate will be up and that stubborn body fat is going to melt right off!!
