Functional Capacity Workout

Funny to see that you think that the IsoAbs is so easy. I am glad to see that there are Super Fit people reading this blog. That workout is all seriousness is a very good workout due to the fact that those movements truly replicate what core muscles are intended to do and that is provide static support to a structure that is very dynamic (the trunk). I would keep that little easy workout in your weekly routine once or twice (since it is SOOOOO easy).

As for this weeks post we are going to focus on a little functional capacity work I happened to get a hold of while at the National Strength and Conditioning Conference this weekend. I watched a strength coach by the name of Alwyn Cosgrove show us this from the field. I feel obligated to share it with everyone. Great workout or at least a nice supplement to the day.

But wait there's more....If you act now you can also do the upper body workout (see below)

Clapping Pushups x30sec
Pushups x30sec

The intensity is up to you. You can go as fast or as slow as you want. If you notice there is no equipment involved, that means no excuses you couldn't do it.

Good Luck!!
