four very easy exercises to execute that he performs in 40-second intervals and that are repeated for 4 rounds with 20-second breaks between them.
We are going to explain to you step by step what each of the
exercises in case you want to replicate them at home. You don’t have to go to a gym to do it, since you can get some
dumbbells and even with a
TRX in any sports store. It may be more difficult to find an anchor for this last element, but if you can, you’ve got it done.
Push-ups with three points of support in TRX and knee crunch
How it’s done: Lie face down on the floor with your back to the TRX and place the ball of one of your feet on the lower grip of the TRX. Support your body weight on the palms of your hands with your arms straight and the other leg straight and unsupported. Next, flex your arms, bringing your elbows back until your nose touches the floor, raising your straight leg toward the ceiling as much as you can. As you straighten your arms again, bring the knee of that leg in toward your chest and repeat.
This is a very demanding exercise that works above all the
arms and the muscles of the
chestbut which also implies the
abdomen and even the musculature of the
legs, although more secondarily. You will need to do this exercise for 20 seconds on each leg before moving on to the next.

To do it correctly, adapt the weight of the
dumbbells to your physical state. If you choose one with little weight, you will not work all your muscles well, but if, on the contrary, you do it with too much weight, you will become unbalanced and you will not be able to perform the exercises.
