One of the latest pieces of kit I have been using with my clients recently may not be what you expect. It’s not a kettlebell or VIPR or even a large sledgehammer but instead a bouncy ball that weights next to nothing! I have found this inexpensive piece of kit not only effective for S.A.Q [...]
Here is a resistance workout I put together for one of my clients that they can do at their local gym to complement their sessions at Results. The workout is designed to target the upper body and core and to last in the region of 45 minute.
For each of the resistance exercises the aim is [...]
Here is the latest weekly workout and again I turned to circuit training for the session. The workout was done over 4 rounds with each round being made up of 5 exercises mixing resistance training and aerobic exercises. At the end of the 4 rounds I finished off with the Bodyweight 100 challenge.
Warm up:

One of the first posts I ever submitted on the site covered that of abdominal training. It showed 15 exercises that would target your entire mid-section and help towards a flatter stomach (http://www.resultsconditioning.com/archives/340).

This workout mixes resistance exercises that will work all [...]
Here is a challenge that I did at the end of my Saturday morning circuit class. Due to the large numbers who take part the challenge uses minimal kit, so once again all you need is a weight plate (5-10kg) and an exercise mat. 6 exercises make up the challenge with you spending a minute [...]
This whole body workout combines resistance training alongside cardio and is ideal for those whose goals are to improve muscle definition, reduce body fat and improve their general fitness.
For the resistance exercises aim to complete 3 sets of 12 reps using a weight that will challenge you. You should be struggling to complete the last [...]
For this challenge all you need is a weight plate (start off with one that weights 5-10kg) and a bench or step box. The best types of weight plates to use are those with handles (such as the Reebok ones used in studio classes such as Bodypump) since they are easier to grip. The challenge [...]
This whole body circuit uses 2 of my favourite pieces of gym equipment, the powerbag and kettlebell alongside bodyweight exercises. The aim of the workout is to complete 3 full circuits with a 1-2 minute rest in between. Spend 5-10 minutes warming up before starting.
