Bodyweight Bench Workout

Bodyweight Bench Workout

The holiday season means lots of travel for many and if your plans look like mine next week, you’ll be heading off to visit friends and relatives. I always feel better when I remain active during my time away from home and try to stick to a loose fitness routine when I’m out of town.

Whether this includes a long walk, a run around the neighborhood or one of my favorite circuit workouts, I know that working up a sweat will make both my body and mind feel better!

Today’s workout is one you can easily do anywhere as long as you have access to a bench. This will work with a workout bench at the gym or a park bench you may find at your local playground. As you can see, I went the park bench route and enjoyed taking my workout outside in the sunshine!

I’m teaming up with Champion to bring you today’s workout and wore two functional (and cute!) items from their latest collection in the photos you see in this post.

Champion Workout clothes

Here are the details:

• Women’s Tech Fleece Open Bottom Top: First things first, this top is only $19.99! What!? For a quality pullover, that’s an amazing price and when you factor in the adorable slouchy neckline and the ultra-soft fabric, it can’t be beat. I wore this fleece on a 55-degree hike and was plenty warm. I love the thumbholes and lightweight feel of this top. It’s so cozy but also practical for outdoor hiking, running and walking in the cooler months.

• Champion Shape Women’s Capri: I almost exclusively wear capris or tights during my Burn Boot Camp workouts because I want my workout apparel to move with me, provide decent coverage and feel comfortable, too. Well, these capris meet all my criteria for quality workout crops. They stay up, streamline the body and feel great during a fast-paced workout.

Bodyweight Bench Workout

Now for the workout! This bodyweight bench workout consists of three rounds of seven exercises. For the first round, you’ll complete the exercises for 60 seconds each. For round two, you’ll complete the exercises for 45 seconds each and for the final round, you’ll spend 30 seconds on each exercise.

The workout is fast-paced with no built-in breaks between the exercises, but please be sure to honor your body and rest as needed.

The Exercises

Picture demonstrations of the exercises may be found below and I encourage you to click the links for video demonstrations and exercise descriptions if you are not familiar with them.

Cardio Bonus

Looking for a little more cardio? Run 1/2 mile before beginning each round of the workout and at the end of the third round for a total of two miles that look like this:

• Run 1/2 mile
• Round One
• Run 1/2 mile
• Round Two
• Run 1/2 mile
• Round Three

Phew!
