Ripping the knees up to your chest.
00:02
The height of the mountain is coming up.
00:04
We try and stay upright.
00:06
We don't let our chest collapse.
00:07
Push up, push up already.
00:09
Back up, back down.
00:10
You got 15 seconds.
00:11
Come on, Brett.
00:12
Come on, Brett.
00:14
Two, one.
00:15
Woo!
00:17
Brett, that was excellent.
00:20
Hey y'all, Men's Health Fitness Editor, Brett Williams here.
00:23
And I'm ready for another installment
00:25
of "Five Minutes of Hell."
00:27
I'm joined by coach Ben Fiden.
00:29
And there's no gear here,
00:30
but I know you're about to put me through it.
00:32
That's right.
00:33
We got the body weight beat down for Brett today.
00:35
We're gonna start with a little bit of warmup,
00:37
a little bit of high knees, butt kicks, inchworms,
00:39
some planks, followed up by the first hell circuit,
00:42
which is just gonna be some air squats,
00:44
some jump lunges, some burpees.
00:46
And lastly, we're gonna slip into the seventh circle of hell
00:48
for some jump squats and some prone Frogger ab movements.
00:53
Okay, taking me all the way down to the seventh.
00:55
I think I'm ready.
00:57
All right.
00:58
Let's do it.
00:59
(upbeat music)
01:02
All right, Brett, we're going five moves right now,
01:06
10 seconds a piece, starting with butt kickers and ready.
01:10
And let's get those heels to the butt.
01:12
Nice and high, nice and sharp, chest tall.
01:15
We're standing tall.
01:16
We're moving quick for another three, two, one.
01:20
Flip over to high knees.
01:21
Let's get our palms out in front of us.
01:23
Let's lift our knees up all the way,
01:25
keeping that chest up good and high for another two seconds
01:30
before you inchworm down to the floor.
01:32
Go ahead.
01:33
And let's see some mountain climbers.
01:35
10 seconds, ripping those knees to your chest,
01:38
ripping the knees up to your chest.
01:40
The height of the mountain is coming up in three, two,
01:44
and plank out for me right here.
01:46
Drop down to your forearms.
01:47
Let's get back up to your hands.
01:49
Let's go back down to the forearms.
01:50
Anticipate back up to the hands, back down and up for four,
01:54
three, two, one.
01:57
There's our warmup today, folks.
01:58
We are slipping into the health circuit number one.
02:01
20 seconds of work, 10 seconds of rest, three exercise.
02:06
Start with air squats, feet stay on the floor,
02:08
ready and 20 seconds.
02:11
We're gonna try and keep our chest up.
02:13
We're gonna throw our arms out forward to help us.
02:16
We're gonna drop our butt below our knees,
02:18
feel our entire foot planted in the floor.
02:21
As we break that plane in knees,
02:23
stand up tall for another five seconds
02:26
where I'm gonna give you a 10 second rest in three, two,
02:29
10 seconds, take it easy.
02:31
Now we're gonna start down on the knee.
02:33
We're gonna do alternating jump lunges
02:34
for another 20 seconds, starting in three, two, let's jump.
02:39
Nope, I'm gonna let you take it away there.
02:44
One for the fans, everyone else's eyes on Brett.
02:48
As we try and stay upright, we don't let our chest collapse.
02:52
We are switching our feet, synchronized
02:55
for another seven seconds, six seconds,
02:58
five, four, three, two and break for 10.
03:03
Now we're getting down to the two pushup burpee.
03:06
You're gonna drop down, give me two pushups,
03:09
pop back up, jump as high as you can,
03:11
back down for two pushups, ready and let's go.
03:15
Jump, we're down, 20 seconds here.
03:18
We're up, we're anticipating dropping.
03:20
Now we're anticipating getting back up.
03:22
We're getting ahead of these movements.
03:24
Push up and jump, drop it down, push up.
03:27
Already getting to go up, now you're already getting down
03:30
for three, two and break, 10 seconds.
03:33
We're gonna run through that again, here we go.
03:35
Coming up, air squats, alternating jump lunges,
03:39
two pushup burpees, 20 seconds a piece in three, two,
03:43
take it away, Brett, air squats right here, we're breathing.
03:46
Exhale on the way down, inhale on the way up.
03:50
Synchronize your breath with your movements.
03:53
You got another 10 seconds.
03:55
Here we go, dropping down low,
03:57
feeling every muscle working on the way up,
04:00
taking a break in three, two and one.
04:04
Let's get ready for these alternating jump lunges.
04:07
Catching your breath, here we go, three, two and one.
04:12
Jump to the other foot, jump to the other foot.
04:15
Just like the burpees, we're anticipating
04:17
the next movement, these plyometrics,
04:19
this hell body weight circuit,
04:21
we have to be in full anticipation of the next move.
04:23
No lollygagging, no hanging back, nine seconds.
04:27
And five, four, three, two, 10 second break.
04:33
Get ready for the last set of two pushup burpees.
04:37
We're coming up in five seconds, here we go.
04:41
Last of the hell circuit and let's go.
04:44
Up, anticipating down, pushup, pushup,
04:47
we're already getting back up.
04:48
Pushup, pushup, we're already getting back up.
04:51
Now we're getting back down.
04:52
Pushup, pushup, already back up, back down.
04:55
Pushup, pushup, you got four, you got three,
04:59
you got two, you got one and break.
05:03
Here we go into the seventh circle of hell.
05:07
- Seventh circle.
05:08
- Two movements, 30 seconds a piece,
05:11
no break, two times through.
05:13
Jump squats, feet leaving the ground every time
05:17
and then lateral froggers for the abs.
05:22
Get ready for this, 30 seconds on the clock
05:25
in three, two, jump squats, let's get it.
05:29
Here, jump high, get a little bit of a rest up there I guess.
05:34
You jump low, you get more reps in.
05:37
10 seconds in, you got 20 seconds to go.
05:40
I like the way he's using his arms, getting some momentum.
05:44
This is about the plyometrics,
05:45
this is about leaving the earth.
05:47
10 seconds, in eight you're gonna drop down onto your butt.
05:52
You're gonna give me some lateral froggers,
05:54
three, two and drop down, here we go.
05:58
Butt on the ground, palms on the ground,
06:01
feet out, feet in, out to the side,
06:03
in, out to the side, in, out to the side.
06:06
We are using our abs, we are bringing our knees to our chest.
06:11
You got 15 seconds, come on Brett, come on Brett.
06:15
Ab up, throw the feet out, bring 'em back,
06:18
throw the feet out, bring 'em back.
06:19
You got seven, you got six, five, four,
06:23
we're hopping up for jump squats
06:25
and let's go, last time through,
06:27
there's one minute on the clock baby, come on.
06:29
Drop down, jump up, drop down, jump up.
06:32
Everything that happens now is the last time through.
06:35
Put it in your head, the finish line is in sight.
06:39
You got 18 seconds, higher you jump, more rest you get.
06:43
How 'bout that, how's that for a trade off?
06:46
10 seconds, let's get to the ceiling.
06:48
10, six, five, four,
06:55
in and out froggers and let's go.
06:58
30 seconds, one way ticket to six pack city,
07:00
I don't wanna see you jump off this train.
07:02
In, out, in, out, side, two, side,
07:07
obliques, abs, transverse, no stone,
07:12
turn, 10 seconds, let's go.
07:16
Seven, six, five, four, three, two, one.
07:21
Brett, that was excellent.
07:26
We went to hell and now we're gonna bring it back.
07:29
- Am I coming back?
07:30
- All right man, how'd that go?
07:33
- I'm feeling it, I'm breathing hard,
07:35
but I'm feeling energized, you know?
07:38
- Feeling energized, right?
07:39
- I was doing a lot of movement.
07:42
Let me tell you, that many plyometrics,
07:44
you know, I don't have a lot of weight on my back
07:46
other than what I got on me,
07:48
but my legs are starting to get heavy,
07:51
but I could tell that I would be able to
07:54
keep pushing through, you know, build some power
07:57
and be able to, you know, keep finishing through the end.
08:00
Is it, what is the reason why you would program
08:03
so many plyometrics in one workout?
08:06
- You nailed it, you nailed it on the head right there.
08:08
I mean, we have five minutes, we have body weight,
08:10
so we gotta get difficult,
08:11
but we gotta be smart.
08:12
These little plyometrics,
08:14
it's a good way to get the brain jump started.
08:16
Only five minutes of work,
08:17
it's not gonna be too taxing.
08:19
You should be able to fight a battle
08:21
in the next five minutes, you know,
08:22
maybe shower, grab a cup of coffee,
08:23
and you're good to go for the rest of your day.
08:25
You're energized, you got some blood flow,
08:28
you got the muscles pumping a little bit,
08:29
ready for the next thing.
08:30
- Yeah, and I mean, that's the thing,
08:32
because along with that,
08:34
a little bit of pushup with the burpee,
08:36
brought some other things into it,
08:37
but I'm feeling good and I'm ready to go.
08:39
So if you're looking for something
08:41
that's gonna get you moving,
08:42
getting out to face the rest of your day
08:44
after just five minutes,
08:45
this is one to do.
08:46
- The body weight beat down,
08:47
it's quick, it's nasty.
08:48
(whooshing)
