Pyramid Intervals to Blast Fast

WARNING- DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS WORKOUT UNLESS YOU CAN:

- Do 20 consecutive push-ups

- Do 20 consecutive jump squats

- Do 20 consecutive split jumps

If you don’t know what these exercises are… then DON’T do this workout… it’s very, very advanced!!

In the theme of hardcore high-intensity interval training workouts from MMA training, today is one of my new favorite routines:

  • After a 5 minute warm-up period you will sprint as hard as you can for:
    • 6 seconds followed by 18 seconds of rest. You will complete this for 4 reps.
    • 20 seconds followed by 60 seconds rest. You will complete this 4 times.
    • 40 seconds followed by 80 seconds rest. You will complete this 4 times.
    • 60 seconds followed by 120 seconds rest. You will complete this 4 times.
    • 10 seconds followed by 20 seconds rest. You will complete this 8 times.
  • Then you complete a 5 minute cool-down

40-20 MMA Core Workout

Monday, October 26th, 2009

Here’s a great 40-20 interval workout using interval training music from our upcoming product MMA ROCKOUT.

What I love about 40-20’s is that they fuse the conditioning emphasis of 50-10’s with the strength/power emphasis of 30-30’s. In addition, the 20 s transition time allows for use of exercises with a greater set-up time. This MMA workout focused on the core using total body abs exercises:

1- Push-up to Back Pillar Transfer

2- TRX Leg Raises (avoid going past the hips with your feet to prevent unwanted lumbar flexion)

3- Straight-Legged Glute Bridge March on Stability Ball

4- Med Ball Weighted Side Pillars

5- Ropes- Figure 8’s

PS- You can expect MMA Rockout to launch mid November. I’ve been working out to these tracks and let me just say that you can surely expect to enter slayer-mode with these bad boys ;)
