3 Simple Ways to Make Exercise a Habit (James Clear)

Burpees: Are they a good or bad exercise?

Workout Finisher

• During a workout finisher, you work at near-maximum intensity for 2–10 minutes and utilize a combination of strength and cardio exercises.
• Examples:
  • 10 burpees at the top of every minute for 10 minutes.
  • 5 push ups + 5 alternating split squat jumps without rest for 8 minutes
  • Complete as many rounds as possible in 10 minutes of:
    • 10 squat jumps 
    • 10 inverted rows 
    • 10 sit-ups 
    • 10 jumping jacks

Filler Exercises

• A “filler” exercise is any movement or drill paired with a strength exercise as part of an active rest period. 
• Instead of sitting down and checking your phone while waiting for the next set, you perform another low-impact exercise to improve mobility, activation, stability or positioning during a lift.
• Core exercises, mobility drills and exercises with low muscular demand (jumping jacks) make good filler exercises.
