Tomorrow I’m finally posting the information on what it’s like to be a personal trainer! It’s been a slight challenge to write because there are so many aspects to touch on. So, I’m excited to share that information with you.
Today I have a workout for you. This is the same workout I’m having a few of my clients do today and it’s a good one. This is a full-body workout, it takes about an hour to complete, and it’s a metabolism booster!

Compounds & Tabatas
Perform set 1 three times through for the prescribed number of repetitions. Then move onto the next set.
- set 1
- Squat to dumbbell press X15
- Incline push-ups (or regular push-ups) to burpee X15
- Plank hold (on elbows) 30 seconds hold, 5 seconds rest X5
- set 2
- Plate stair walk (hold a weighed plate above your head, arms straight, and walk up a set of stairs, skipping every other step- Keep your abs engaged the entire time!) X15
- Chin-up holds (jump to a chin-up or pull-up position and hold as long as possible, slowly releasing down to a hang) X8 – 10
- Lunge and hold 3 count (lunge with your right leg back, pulse to a 3 count then come back to standing position. Alternate legs with each lunge) X15 each leg
- set 3
- Squat and row (position a cable slightly lower than chest level, add weight to the machine and pull the cable out and into your body. Take a squatting position with resistance in the cable- do 15 rows into your body) X15
- Mountain climbers X15
- Side plank 1 minute each side
- set 4: Tabatas
- 20 seconds on, 10 seconds rest (X8 – total of 4 minutes) of:
- kettle bell swings, two hands on bell
- option to add or sub in air squats
Drink lots of water, grab some good carbs and protein, and rest! This is a great workout but you have to recover properly to get it’s full benefits.

is there an alternative for the squat and row if you don’t have access to a machine? maybe a deadlift with bent over row.. would that be a good substitution?
awesome workout! i love tabatas.

Hi Sharelle! Great question-
A deadlift into a bent over row would work perfect! You could even just do the bent over rows- but the deadlift added in will make it a bit more challenging- really boosting your metabolism!
Thanks! I hope you try the workout!
Ok so not only are you making me do burpess, but you want me to throw a pushup in there too? Good lord lady are you TRYING to murder me?
