This Morning's Workout, 5/7 - Men's Health Marine Corps Workout (Modified)

Full body, compound movements, hitting multiple muscle groups at once. I perform one set of each exercise to failure, using heavy weight--modified HIT principles. Upper body exercise sets have a rep range of 10-12, lower body has a target range of 20, and bodyweight exercises (pull-ups and push-ups) have a target of 25 reps.

This is a slight modification of the Men's Health Marine Corps Workout over at Military.com. I like this workout because I can use dumbbells, barbells, sandbags, and/or kettlebells. All of the exercises are compound movements and target more than one muscle group. I can get through this workout, gushing sweat, in about 35 minutes. I capped this workout with sets of hanging leg raises and incline sit-ups.

When I'm not "feeling it," this is the workout I turn to... It gets me me motivated and sweating, especially the clean and press and front squat to press.

I will start posting my favorite workouts as I get time. You can always track my workouts here. Semper Fi.
