An At-Home 20 Minute Workout to Build Muscle and Burn Fat

There is NO NEED to go to a gym if you are looking to drop some fat and add muscle.

When you think about it, even if you live 10 minutes away from your gym, it still takes another 10 minutes once you get there to find parking, put your gear in a locker, and actually start working out! Factor in the time it takes to get changed, gather up your gear, and commute BACK to your house, and we are talking about pretty close to an hour just getting to and from the gym!

Who has that kind of time anymore?

At Home 20 Minute Workout - The Solution

Here is a workout that takes around 20 minutes, doesn't require expensive equipment, and targets fat loss/conditioning along with upper body muscle growth and lower body strength.

Let's cut to the chase.

Home Workout in 20 Minutes:

***IMPORTANT*** First, warm up doing a few easy sets of pushups, bodyweight squats, and towel pullups (throw a rolled-up towel over something strong like a branch or beam in the garage, and pull up!).

Then, the workout begins:

Sandbag Clean and Press x 8 reps(see below for instructions on how to make your own sandbag for around $15)
Towel Pullups for 8 reps
10 Burpees (do a YouTube search for more details on this, the ULTIMATE total body conditioning exercise)
Bodyweight Rows for 8 reps(Don't waste your money on a suspension trainer when you can make one yourself for next to nothing - a quick Google search for DIY suspension trainer brings up several options)
Jumping jacks (do 50) - this is the 'active rest' component of the workout, where you allow your muscles to rest before you...
DO THE CIRCUIT TWO MORE TIMES!
The Finisher!

As a 'finisher', take a sledgehammer and swing it into a tire for intervals of 20 seconds, followed by 10 seconds of rest, repeated 8 times total. Alternate the order of your gripping hands with every mini interval (1st 20 seconds - right over left, 2nd 20 seconds - left over right, and so on.)
(these are called "Tabata Intervals, which research has shown to be extremely beneficial for conditioning both aerobic and anaerobic capacities)
Make Your Own Training Sandbag

Get a used army surplus duffel bag, buy 75 pounds of pea gravel (around $3), dump the pea gravel in the bag, zip tie it shut, duct tape around the zip ties so you don't cut yourself, and...

VOILA!

You have yourself a workout tool that will build total body strength and TORCH bodyfat!
