Free Home High Intensity Workout by Celebrity Trainer Kevin Richardson
Gym closures were one of the first major changes to our lives because of COVID-19 and we recognize that many are having a hard time figuring out how to train at home, especially as weights and exercise equipment have become hard to find. I can’t underscore the importance of regular exercise at this time when most of us find ourselves confined to our homes, not just for your physical health but for your mental health as well. And so I put together a high intensity leg workout that you can do at home, with or without weights.
I also took the liberty of adding some recommendations for alternatives to weights based on best practices that we have been implementing with our clients for years when working with them online. It’s a tough workout and do be sure to go at your own pace and no more than once a week. Most importantly, if you have any questions whatsoever I am always just a message away!
This was my last set and I debated whether I should go up in weight or not, but I went for it!
These are pause presses.
Full stop at the bottom of the movement which means you need to generate more force to get the weight up each rep, thus increasing the overall intensity significantly.
I fought hard but by rep number 8, gravity and pure muscle fatigue were starting to get the best of me but I pushed with all I could for one final partial rep!
For the gear heads, it`s @betitanfit Lever Arms on a @roguefitness Monster Lite Rack with a @powertec bench.
Still training and I hope you are too!!!
Thanks for watching and as always, Excelsior!!! #naturallyintense
This is one myth that doesn`t want to die- sweating more does not mean you burn more fat as sweating has absolutely nothing to do with fat metabolism!
You don`t lose more fat by sweating more and next time you are in the tropics take a hard look around, as if that was the case everyone would have six packs!
Thanks as always for taking the time to look at my work and as always, Excelsior!!! #naturallyintense
I found this shot in my archives and thought I would share it with you!
@dennisjpleefsc was in my opinion one of the very best natural bodybuilding photographers and it was always an honor and a joy to work with him!
I remember we had this shoot right after one of my early shows here in the US and I lived across from Prospect Park at the time and thought it would be a great spot to get some shots.
This was the first time I was ever in my posing trunks in public and I have no problems admitting that I was terribly nervous, and If I am being honest, I still get nervous doing shots in public even all these years later.
But being outside of my comfort zone is and always will be an indication that I am exactly where I need to be and doing exactly what I need to be doing.
Thanks for taking the time to look at my posts and as always, Excelsior! #naturallyintense
High Intensity Bodyweight Training: Ballistic Pushups & Dips!
This was a tough one!
Starts out with ballistic push ups (like clap pushups but without the clap as my wrist is still not 100%) nonstop for 20 reps, then all out on dips for 10 reps.
To say it was painful would be an understatement, but you just have to push through and keep on going.
Still training, hope you are too and as always, Excelsior!!! #naturallyintense
