    Workout of the week: 25-min functional full-body workout

    20th June 2022
    functional full-body workout

    ALL LEVELS / functional full-body workout / 25 minutes

    Equipment: Barbell & gym mat

    At EVO, we’re proud supporters of the functional training approach. In case you don’t know, this type of fitness uses exercises that mimic your everyday moves to make those activities easier to perform. Unlike isolated types of training — only focused on isolated muscle groups — functional fitness usually targets the whole body and a set of muscles simultaneously. 

    This functional full-body workout follows this philosophy. With just 6 exercises, you’ll target your whole body in a fun and functional way. With 4 rounds only, you’ll start performing each exercise for 20 seconds with 10 seconds to rest. You’ll add 10 seconds to each exercise in each round, increasing progressively until you reach the last round with 50 seconds of activity and only 10 to rest.

    1. Barbell front squat
    2. Push-up
    3. Barbell row
    4. Barbell deadlift-row
    5. Abdominal row
    6. Reverse lunge

    Let’s go!

    3rd round: 40 sec on, 10 sec off
    4th round: 50 sec on, 10 sec off

    • Start in a standing position with the barbell in a rack position (barbell resting loosely in palms, upper arm horizontal).
    • Begin the movement by squatting down, keeping the back straight.
    • Aim to drop the hips just below the knees while maintaining balance and control of the bar.
    • Return to the start position and repeat.

    2nd round: 30 sec on, 10 sec off
    3rd round: 40 sec on, 10 sec off
    4th round: 50 sec on, 10 sec off

    • Start in a plank position with arms straight, shoulders above wrists, and body in a straight line.
    • Engage the core and glutes.
    • Keeping the shoulders over the wrists, lower the whole body towards the floor, dropping comfortably as low as you can.
    • Push the body upwards and return to the start position. Repeat.

    3 – BARBELL ROW

    1st round: 20 sec on, 10 sec off
    2nd round: 30 sec on, 10 sec off
    3rd round: 40 sec on, 10 sec off
    4th round: 50 sec on, 10 sec off

    • Grab a suitably loaded barbell with a shoulder-width grip. Engage the core and set the shoulders. 
    • Lift the bar to assume a standing position – this is your start position.
    • Keeping the core engaged and the shoulders set, hinge at the hips until the bar is just below the knees. Row the bar towards your belly button and lower again. That’s one rep. 
    •  Repeat.

    4 – BARBELL DEADLIFT-ROW

    1st round: 20 sec on, 10 sec off
    2nd round: 30 sec on, 10 sec off
    3rd round: 40 sec on, 10 sec off
    4th round: 50 sec on, 10 sec off

    • Grab a suitably loaded barbell with a shoulder-width grip. Engage the core and set the shoulders. Lift the bar to assume a standing position – this is your start position
    • Keeping the core engaged and the shoulders set, hinge at the hips until the bar is just below the knees. Row the bar towards your belly button and lower again. Immediately deadlift the bar to a standing position – this combination movement completes one repetition.
    • Return under control and repeat.

    5 – ABDOMINAL ROW

    1st round: 20 sec on, 10 sec off
    2nd round: 30 sec on, 10 sec off
    3rd round: 40 sec on, 10 sec off
    4th round: 50 sec on, 10 sec off

    • Lie on your back with legs straight, feet together. Place arms straight overhead. Flatten your lower back slightly into the floor.
    • Begin the movement by bringing the knees towards the chest and simultaneously bringing the hands to touch the feet. Although the legs will bend, the arms remain straight. Imagine drawing a semicircle shape with the arms as they come towards the feet to make it easier. 
    • Maintain balance and control as the hands touch the feet.
    • Return under control and repeat.

    1st round: 20 sec on, 10 sec off

    • Stand with the feet hip-width apart, arms by your side. Engage the core slightly and set the shoulders.
    • Keeping the core engaged, bend the front leg and take a small step back. Maintain your balance as you slowly drop the back knee to the floor. Maintain balance as you return to standing.
    • Repeat on the other side.
