Top 3 training tips by Alexa Towersey

1. Resistance Training: 

Combine four compound exercises in one giant set:

8–10 x Barbell Back Squats

8–10 x Barbell Bent-Over Rows

8–10 x Deadlifts

6–8 x Pull-ups 

24 x Barbell Walking Lunges

TIP: Rest for 2 minutes between rounds and complete 3 to 5 rounds

 

2. HIIT Training:

I like 400m sprint repeats the best.

Start with 5 to 7 and increase each week. 60 to 90 seconds rest between.

TIP: Don’t do these on the same day as your weight training.

 

3. Tabata Protocols:

I like to use Tabata-style exercises as ‘finishers’ after a weight-training workout.

It’s essentially maximum reps of an exercise in 20 seconds followed by a 10-second rest and repeated for a total of eight rounds (4 minutes or 2:40 of actual work).

TIP: My preferred variations include thruster, squat jumps, air assault bike, burpees, mountain climber or deadmill.
