How to get in shape in 5 min from home (Using a busy Marine veteran’s secret)

The number one excuse on the internet for why people can't get in shape is I don't have the time. But let's face it, if you have five minutes to sit and take a ----, then you have five minutes that you can spare to work out. In this video, I'm going to give you a five minute workout and I'm going to give you three separate styles of workouts that you can do that only take five minutes of your time. The question is, is five minutes enough to get a decent workout in? The short answer is yes. Five minutes a day is better than zero minutes a day. So find five minutes and follow along. You can pick this upper body, you can pick this core or this lower body circuit. Now this first exercise slash five minute workout is going to be push-ups and we're going to do a push-up pyramid. One thing to consider with something like five minute workouts is you're not going to get too much time to rest because you have to maximize your time. All you have is five minutes. So you're going to have to do five minutes of solid work. So here's what I want you to do. You're going to set up in your push-up position. We're going to do two different kinds of push-ups. It's going to be regular push-ups and diamond push-ups. And we are going to pyramid style. So we're going to start with one, and then we're going to do two, and then three, then four, then five, all the way up as high as we can go in a five-minute period. So basically, we're going to We're going to do one pushup, go to diamond, one diamond pushup. Then we're going to do two pushups, two diamond pushups, just like this. And you keep going off one, two, three, switch to diamond. One, two, three, back out. One, two, three, four, back in one, two, three, four, back out. One, two, three, four, Five and you're gonna keep going until you gas out and fail now once you fail However high you end up going you're gonna take a 30 second pause So this is the maximum rest that you're gonna get in your five minute of workout 30 second pause catch your breath Shake out the lactic acid whatever number you went up to you're gonna go back down to one if all you did was six you're gonna start back at six two three four five six switch to your diamonds one two three four five six and then five four three two one five four three two one and you go all the way back down to one rep so you go as high as you can go you go as low as you can go in that five minute period and that's it that is your five minute push-up workout. And if you can't do it, there is no shame in doing knee push-ups and then knee diamond push-ups. Instead, it's going to do the same thing, just at an easier level. That's exercise one. That is your first five minute round that you can do. You can choose the push-up five minute round. Now let's talk about core. How can you work those abs in five minutes? So five minute core workout. It's going to be a very similar approach. We're going to go fast-paced very few rest periods in between each set we're gonna continuously work those ab muscles and get the most out of the five minutes that we have so it is going to be a bicycle crunch circuit very simple i want you to set up hands on your head like this and we're going to be moving our elbows in this crunching mo in this twisting motion your feet are going to pedal just like a bike you can either do it in a circular motion or you could just pedal back and forth back and forth what we're gonna do is you're gonna lay back hands on your head like we talked about raise one foot up you're gonna reach across with that opposite elbow and all we're gonna do pedal those feet reach with those elbows for the opposite side of the knee you're gonna go for 30 seconds just like this and you're gonna do 15 second hold on one side 15 second hold on the other side just like this and that will give you one minute of solid work after that you take 30 second break and you're gonna do it again 30 second break and you do it again as simple as that five minutes of solid ab work and you're done that's it now if bicycle crunches prove to be too difficult or you can't get that full range of motion into the bicycle crunch you can do one of two things either go as far as you can reach and still try to do the full bicycle crunch even if it's just this that works just get those shoulder blades up and get those knees kicking like you're riding a bike or option b is gonna be just to crunch so you're gonna do 30 seconds of solid crunch work just coming up just like that nice and easy getting that spinal flexion in and then 15 seconds crunch up and hold 15 second rest and you're gonna continue with the sets just like you would with the bicycle crunch that is your second option of a five minute workout with emphasis being on the core now let's go to option number three legs leg day body weight only five minutes at home no excuses legs is very simple as well we are going to focus on the quads primarily so what we're going to be doing is a squat circuit now same concept five minutes maximize the five minutes that you have so what you're gonna do very simple a pyramid down from the top for legs so what we're gonna do you're gonna do 10 jump squats so just like this squat down jump up as high as you can get 10 plyometric squat jumps as soon as you finish the 10 you go into 10 air squats just like this pick a pace that you can stick to and just follow through you're going to keep going until you hit your 10 then as soon as you finish your 10 air squats you take a 10 second rest shake it out do what you need now remember however many reps you do that's the amount of seconds of rest that you take as soon as your 10 second rest is up you're gonna go right back down and we're gonna do nine jump squats and you're gonna get your nine reps in as soon as you finish your nine reps nine air squats finish those nine air squats and you're gonna take a nine second rest after the air squats then we go eight seven six five four three two one and done and that should take you about five minutes to complete if you end up having extra time then you start your pyramid and you go back up from one maximize your five minutes that you have now i'm sure you can find five minutes in your day to do a workout and i'm sure you could find several five minute windows where you can get any of these workouts in and more and that is what my coaching programs are all about build programs that fit your lifestyle i will rack my brain and if you tell me legitimately you only have five minute windows we will i will build you a five minute program where you can do multiple times a day at home with no equipment the point is to make fitness work for you not make you change your whole life around for fitness for nutrition goes for the workouts that goes for everything that goes into your plan i make it fit for you and i make it work for you if this is something that interests you join the community join the group coaching join the one-on-one coaching you will love it everyone is making amazing progress and everyone is seeing everyone else in the group grow together doing their own programs smash that link in the description of the video if you're interested and I will talk to you personally and see if you are a great fit for our coaching community.
