Welcome to Your Home Workout of the Week!

This 10-minute workout uses The P.A.U.L. Method, designed specifically for busy professionals to maximize results in minimal time.

Here’s how it works:

Each P.A.U.L. workout includes one exercise from the following 4 categories:

P: Plyometrics –> Gets your heart rate up to burn fat.
A: Abs –> Builds strong core and tight waist.
U: Upper Body –> Strengthens and tones arms & torso.
L: Lower Body –> Strengthens and tones glutes and legs.

How it’s Done:

Step 1: Perform each exercise for 30 seconds.

Step 2: After completing all 4 exercises, rest 30 seconds and repeat.

Step 3: Stop once you’ve reached 10 minutes (4 sets). Take a quick peak in the mirror — you just nailed your workout for the day.

Here are the 4 exercises you’ll be performing this week:

 

EXERCISE #1: Machine Guns (Plyometric Cardio)

 


​
This is one of those moves that you’ve probably seen before, but have never performed yourself.​
​
Let me introduce you to “The Machine Gun”.​
​
Here’s what it is. How to do it. And why you should care.​

(Note: Use the modification in the instructions if you have any joint pain with jumping.)

EXERCISE #2: Side Plank (Abs)

 

Tell me. What reaction does your brain conjure up when you read the words:​
​
Side Plank.​
​
Do you think “too hard”?​
​
Do you think “hell no”?​
​
Do you think “ehhhh, it hurts my back”?​
​
Let’s teach you the TRUE side plank, how to do it, and why you should love it.

EXERCISE #3: Reverse Snow Angels (Upper Body)

 

Push ups are the most well known upper body exercise. They have the world’s best PR rep.
​
But here’s the problem.​
​
If you’re constantly doing push ups, you’re constantly strengthening and tightening your chest.​
​
For most people who sit all day, these muscles are *already* tight and overactive, leading to hunched shoulders and poor posture.​
​
It’s actually the upper back – not the chest — that is weak on most people and needs work.​

This bodyweight exercise will work your upper back, improve your posture, and optimize your shoulder mechanics to address any pain in the area.

EXERCISE #4: Dumbbell Leg Curl (Lower Body)

 

When you work out at home, you have no choice but to be results-oriented.​
​
You must identify “What EXACTLY am I trying to accomplish?” and then reverse-engineer your success.​
​
The dumbbell leg curl is a fantastic example.​
​
This isn’t an exercise you’ll often see in any gym.​
​
But it’s one of the most effective exercises to strengthen the back of your thighs and build strong, resilient knees.​
