Many of you guys have been asking me for a workout that won’t wake your neighbors, so I came up with this Silent Workout for Fat Loss. Another great thing about this workout is that you can do it in a very small space. As you can see in the video, I do my workouts in a tiny bathroom especially on days when I’m really short on time. It’s really cool knowing that you can be in a complete charge of your fitness in every situation. Even if I have just 5 minutes before I have to jump into the shower and get ready to leave, it gives me enough time to get a great workout in. 

Like I said in the video, the reason why I do a lot of plyometrics and dynamic exercises in my workouts, is to get the best workout for my legs and cardiovascular system. The thing is that if you are a beginner and really out of shape, then exercises like bodyweight lunges and squats will feel super challenging and you will be getting results for some time. Once you get into certain level of fitness, then you will have to increase the challenge in order to promote further changes. That is the rule of progressive overload. Your body always adapts to applied stress, so if you don’t challenge yourself, then you are not forcing your body to become stronger and fitter. All of the loud exercises such as jump lunges, jump squats, or burpees are great for promoting the muscle contractions that will raise your heart rate and promote fat loss. If you have to do a silent workout where these type of exercises are not possible, then you have to use an extra weight like dumbbells or kettlebells, to make up for the lack of intensity.

That is true only when it comes to leg exercises tho. For women and most men that wish to be athletic and strong, bodyweight exercises for your upper body are challenging enough. Push ups can be done in many forms at a different speed rate, just like pull ups. Pushing and pulling your bodyweight with your arms is so hard, that you would never have to even use an additional weight. However it’s good to shake things up and lift weights in order to train for functional strength, coordination, balance, and flexibility. 

I hope you’ll have fun with your silent workout and that you’ll get the best out of it! 

Have a great day,

Zuzka.
