Flex Fitness has the answer for you...and it is FREE!!
Subscribe to the Flex Fitness OT Audio Coaching Podcast and follow along as Coach Josh takes you through a 100% bodyweight workout from beginning to end using only audio.
SEPARATE YOURSELF FROM A SCREEN OR GYM AND:
- Truly workout anywhere you want...on a beach, in a park, on top of a mountain, or in your tiny Cambodian apartment (speaking from experience). Bad wifi, who cares. You can pre-download the podcast episode to be played even when you are no where near reliable internet.
- Workout at any Time. All you need is a pair of headphones, 10 square feet of space, and a bit of motivation.
- Workout Harder because you will not have to pause to watch the screen.
- Be confident in your Form because you will be guided through each part of the movement and instructed as to what is proper and why.

WARM-UP
Each workout will begin with a 5min non-specific warm up to get your blood pumping. It will be only low impact movements with the goal of getting your engine revved. This means no external resistance, no complicated movements, no sprints, etc. Some examples of movements used are air squats, running, rowing, stationary bike, burpees, jumping jacks, side shuffle, etc.
By the end you should be breathing a little harder and starting to sweat but by no means tired.

MOVEMENT PREPARATION / MOBILITY
Prior to starting your workout, you will perform a movement or set of movements intended to teach, test, and improve one or more general fitness attribute. Some examples are the seesaw walk, spiderman with hamstring extension, or the high plank shoulder touch.
By the end of the movement preparation and mobility your body will be prepared for the remainder of the workout.

METCON
Metcon or “Metabolic Conditioning” is essentially a medium-to-high intensity, sweaty, tiring, challenging, heart-pounding workout that is similar to circuit training.
One or a number of movements are combined together and performed with a particular end goal in mind. For example,
The metcons are designed to cover a wide array of scores or goals, lengths of time, intensity levels, and movements.
The high level of intensity ensures a consistently elevated metabolic rate and a tremendous surge of EPOC, or Excess Post-Exercise Oxygen Consumption. This means you will continue to burn lots of calories well after your body stops working out in its path to recovery. This is sometimes called “the afterburner effect.” and can last anywhere from a few hour to a few days … Think of it, you will be burning calories at a higher rate even when you are not doing anything.

- or perform the following as fast as you can…;
- or complete the following work in under X number of minutes; and so on.

COOL DOWN
The cool down is low impact movement and mobility done at the end of a workout to help with the recovery process post exercise. This will typically be yoga type stretches or deep tissue smashing.
Now, the cool down may not prevent you from being sore or tight after a hard workout but it will help reduce the pain.
