#090 The Complete 30: Full-Body Functional Finale
Brings together the most effective movements from the entire series for one ultimate body-changing session
Good Morning!
Here’s today's workout. As always, you’ll get out of it what you put into it.
If you’re short on time, decrease the number of sets
If you’re feeling ambitious, increase the number of sets or reps per minute
If you’re low on energy, focus on the movement and just push through
Focus on Consistency rather than perfection
Workout #090:
Total Time: 30 minutes (6 exercises x 5 sets)
Instructions: Perform each exercise for one minute, then move to the next. Repeat the circuit 5 times.
Mountain Climbers (Dynamic - Core Power)
How to Do It:Plank position
Drive knees to chest
Alternate quickly
Keep hips low
Easier Variation: Slow down the pace and focus on form rather than speed while maintaining core engagement.
Superman Holds (Upper Body - Back)
How to Do It:Lie face down
Lift chest/arms
Hold briefly
Lower controlled
Easier Variation: Alternate lifting just your upper body then just your lower body instead of lifting everything simultaneously.
Single-Leg Deadlift (Lower Body - Posterior Chain)
How to Do It:Balance on one leg
Hinge at hips
Other leg extends back
Return to standing
Easier Variation: Tap back foot for balance at the bottom of the movement or use support if needed.
Pike Push-Ups (Upper Body - Shoulders)
How to Do It:Pike position
Bend elbows
Lower head toward ground
Push up
Easier Variation: Use a less steep pike angle or bend knees slightly to reduce shoulder load.
Side Lunges (Lower Body - Lateral Strength)
How to Do It:Step wide sideways
Bend stepping leg
Keep other leg straight
Push to return
Easier Variation: Take shorter steps to the side and reduce the depth of the lunge until mobility and strength improve.
Burpees (Dynamic - Total Body Power)
How to Do It:Drop to squat position
Jump feet to plank
Perform push-up
Jump feet forward
Jump up explosively
Easier Variation: Step back instead of jumping and remove the push-up component for a modified version that reduces impact.
That's it. How’d it go today?
Let me know, I read every answer to adjust future workouts.
To recap, here's what you hit today:
COMPLETE POSTERIOR CHAIN ACTIVATION! Superman holds and single-leg deadlifts target the often-neglected back side of your body, fixing posture and building power from the ground up!
SHOULDER STRENGTH REVOLUTION! Pike push-ups develop the overhead pushing strength essential for functional movement but often missing from standard workouts!
EXPLOSIVE FINISHER EFFECT! Mountain climbers prime your system at the start while burpees deliver the metabolic spike at the end that maximizes afterburn!
See you tomorrow morning!
