FUNK ROBERTS KILLER 3 ROUND WORKOUT

The other day my training partner and I decided to throw a wrench into our workout. We didn’t have a lot of time and wanted to get Weight Training, Abs and a Cardio workout all in 30 minutes. Enter the KILLER 3 ROUND WORKOUT

This workout consists of 6 exercises that are done one after the other for 30 second intervals, no rest in between. Once you have completed the round, you rest for 1 minute and it’s on to Round 2, rest for 1 minute and then Round 3. If you are still breathing, then go for 2 more rounds.

The goal is to perform as many repetitions as possible, with high intensity, perfect form and balance.


FUNK KILLER 3 ROUND WORKOUT

Round 1
Standing Alternate Dumbbell Shoulder Press - 30 sec (Soulders)
Classic Burpees - 30 sec (Chest, Legs and Cardio)
Step Ups on Flat Bench - 30 sec (Cardio and Butt)
Dumbbell Bicep Curls on a Bosu Ball - 30 sec (Biceps)
Bench Dips - 30 sec (Triceps)
Frog Crunches - 30 sec (Abs)
Rest for 1 minute

Round 2
Standing Alternate Dumbbell Shoulder Press - 30 sec
Classic Burpees - 30 sec
Step Ups on Flat Bench - 30 sec
Dumbbell Bicep Curls on a Bosu Ball - 30 sec
Bench Dips - 30 sec
Lying Bicycles - 30 sec
Rest for 1 minute

Round 3
Standing Alternate Dumbbell Shouder Press - 30 sec
Classic Burpees - 30 sec
Step Ups on Flat Bench - 30 sec
Dumbbell Bicep Curls on a Bosu Ball - 30 sec
Bench Dips - 30 sec
Russian Twists - 30 sec
Rest for 1 minute


The entire 3 round workout should take no longer than 15 minutes, including the time it takes to peel yourself from the floor. It was nice to have my training partner as she kept me going when I felt like dying and timed me as well. And after I was done it was her turn.

Make sure to warm up the body with 5 minutes on the treadmill, a light jog or jump rope and cool down with a complete body stretch, you’ll need it.

If you don’t have a lot a time to work out or want to accelerate your fat burning process, the FUNK ROBERTS KILLER 3 ROUND WORKOUT is your answer.

HOW TO GET THE MOST OUT OF YOUR WORKOUTS



I read these great tips in Maximum Fitness a few months back and they are right on point with my workout philosophy. I added a couple of my own tips and the comments as well.
1. Change up your weight exercises from one session to the next – DON’T GET STALE!

2. Begin each exercise by engaging your target muscle – FEEL THE BURN!

3. Increase the weights as you grow stronger – IF YOU CAN DO 10 REPS, MOVE ON UP!

4. Overemphasize the contraction on each exercise – SQUEEEEEEEZE!

5. Work as hard as you can on each rep, don’t pace yourself –
THIS IS NO STROLL IN THE PARK!

6. Feel free to add a couple more sets to the workout -
IF YOU HAVE TIME, WHY WOULDN’T YOU!

7. Have a journal and plan your workouts before starting –
PLAN AND ATTACK!

8. Get a doctor’s clearance if you have any sort of health condition – A WORKOUT A DAY, KEEPS THE DOCTOR AWAY!

Decrease Your Intake of Sugar for Weight Loss

Funk Roberts Fitness Tip

One of the best things you can do to drop excess body fat is to decrease your intake of sugar. Start gradually decreasing high sugar foods like donuts, candy bars, cakes, pies, hard candy, fudge, soft drinks and processed fruit juices.

If you want to cure a sweet tooth, try frozen grapes or sugar free Jell-O. By decreasing your sugar intake, you will be able to control your insulin levels which will help unlock your body's ability to start burning stored body fat.
