The Accumulator
This is a
Body Sculpting pattern from
www.turnstep.com.
(pattern 16785)
This is a great routine for a strength class/ interval workout. The idea is to choose about 10 excercises or more (if time allows), complete each round and add on at the next round with no or very little rest in between rounds.
Example:
- Round 1: 10 push ups from knees or toes for beginners
- Round 2: 10 push ups, 10 jump squats
- Round 3: 10 push ups, 10 jump squats, 10 bench dips
- Round 4: 10 push ups, 10 jump squats, 10 bench dips, 1 minute rop skipping
- Round 5: 10 push ups, 10 jump squats, 10 bench dips, 1 minute rope skipping, 10 shoulder lateral raises
- Round 6: 10 push ups, 10 jump squats 10 bench dips, 1 minute rope skipping, 10 shoulder lateral raises, 1 minute plank (from knees or toes)
- Round 7: 10 push ups, 10 jump squats, 10 bench dips, 1 minute rope skipping, 10 shoulder lateral raises, 1 minute plank,10 burpees
- Round 8: 10 push ups, 10 jump squats,10 bench dips , 1 minute rope skipping, 10 shoulder lateral raises, 1 minute plank, 10 burpees, 20 hammer curls
- Round 9: 10 push ups, 10 jump squats, 10 bench dips, 1 minute rope skipping, 10 shoulder lateral raises, 1 minute plank, 10 burpees, 20 hammer curl, 1 lap lunging forward with or without weights
- Round 10: 10 push ups, 10 jump squats, 10 bench dips, 1 minute rope skipping, 10 shoulder lateral raises, 1 minute plank, 10 burpees, 20 hammer curl, 1 lap lunging forward with or without weights, 1 minute bicycle (abs)
Cool down and stretch all muscles worked. You are welcome to mix and match other exercices and also offer variations for beginners.Some participants may need a little bit of time to transition from one excercise to the other.
My participants usually try to escape the class when I announce that today we will do the ACCUMULATOR, but at the end they say they had a terrific sweat/workout.
Hope you enjoy. Any questions, please ask!
