GMB Fitness 10-Minute Workout: Week 2

[@you-design647]

That's what we call a real coach. Thanx for correcting us

[@WholeLifeChallengeWW]

You're welcome!

[@cristinagiraldo2725]

The last exercise is so difficult!!! I have been practicing for one week and I still cannot do it! I'll keep trying :)

[@WholeLifeChallengeWW]

Good for you, Cristina. Keep at it and you'll get there!

[@Sombrahs]

Me too, but by week six it was much easier. Keep working! You can do it

[@local420us]

I'm just curious, for how many weeks should you be doing this? I know you have it for a single week, but depending on your level of fitness it might take a few times though this program to get the movements to their penultimate conclusion.

[@WholeLifeChallengeWW]

Hi Josh - Yes, you can spend 1 week on each of the 8 videos if you want, but as you said, it's really personal. So some people may be better off spending 2-3 weeks on each video. Some people might spent 3 months on video 1 if they need to! The important part is to listen to your body.

[@sisenmann]

Should we do these exercises every day?

[@revival8583]

smile :) u made my day

I swear my arms aren't long enough to complete the swingset, how do I strengthen my shoulders to lift my butt off the ground?

[@WholeLifeChallengeWW]

Hi Buddy - Do you have yoga blocks or a stack of books you could put to each side of you? You might try doing the swingset that way, so you have more clearance. I have a similar problem. Part of it is strength and part of it is just how your body may be built (short arms, long torso, etc.).

I could not do this for a while. But then realized I needed to work on my core WAY more. After a few months of pilates, I can now do it with ease (no blocks). It's not really about arm length but how well you can pull your navel to your spine and curl in your abdomen. If you have great ab control and strength (and good shoulder and back strength as a given) you just curl your abs in tight and your butt doesn't even skim the ground. Just my experience, not an expert, but I say go for it.

But I thought different arm positions during pushups targets different arm muscles. Why do you recommend just the one?

[@ronagustin2471]

I follow GMB and here are the reasons I know of: 1. It's better form for protecting your shoulders and avoiding injuries. 2. This form translates to the other movements that they (GMB Fitness) do in their programs.

[@MrMerrill01]

What’s the about of reps we should work towards?

[@WholeLifeChallengeWW]

There is no set amount of reps in this workout -- the idea is to work at the highest quality you can for 30 seconds at a time.

[@ramalupod]

It's called a 10-minute workout, but he keeps saying to hold for 30 seconds. Does that mean I should cycle through the three exercises for thirty seconds each until a total of ten minutes has passed?

[@JoshuaTenpenny]

It is three rounds of: - Pushups for 30s, Rest for 30s - Squat for 30s, Rest for 30s - Table for 30s, Rest eps
