Living your life by the roll of the dice. Ooohh, it sounds so sexy and devious.
Ok, that might be a bit much.
So while you might not want your fate determined by the toss of dice, how about let it determine your workout?
I thought I would share with you one of my workout tricks. It is pretty much an anywhere / anytime type of workout so it is great for when you are stuck at home or when you travel.
I call this workout “Dem Bones” and I use it when I need to shake things up with clients & bootcamps
The only equipment you’ll need is a pair of dice and a clock or a watch to keep time. Other than that all the moves in the example below are strictly bodyweight. (Although the moves you pick are up to you)
First you choose 6 exercises and assign them a number. Like this:
-
Squats
-
Push Ups
-
Sit Ups
-
Lunges
-
Burpees
-
Mountain Climbers
Now the first die tells you what exercise you’ll be doing. The second tells you how long you’ll be doing it ( x 10 seconds).
So for instance if you roll a 2 and a 4, you’ll be doing Push Ups for 40 seconds. If you roll a 3 and a 6 you’ll be doing Sit Ups for 60 seconds.
Just keep repeating the rolls for 20-30 minutes with minimal rest and you’ll have your ass kicked in short order. Sometimes you’ll be pissed you get burpees for 60 seconds 3 times in a row, but it evens out when you get another move for only 10 seconds.
As opposed to to other situations where you roll the dice – this time you can only win.
