Hey Janet,
Floor sweepers are you just hold a barbell like you would in the bench press and then you lift your legs to the left and then the right, trying to keep you legs straight. It gets the abs in a good way and you also work the core pretty good because your shoulders have to stabilize the bar as you shift to the left and right.
As for the Gym Jones workout...
The idea is blood misdirection so we start out by doing some sprints which causes our body to direct blood into the legs, then immediately after we do push ups, which is tough when blood is being pumped to the lower body, then L-twists etc... basically trying to keep sending blood one direction and then working out another spot. It is pretty cool, I made a circuit using 17 of our normal plyo exercises that shifts from arms to legs to core and keeps doing that. I know it works pretty good because i am light headed at the end of the workout... blood is going everywhere and I am not getting enough to return...

* you totally read my mind on that i was going to ask about the misdirected blood flow
ReplyDeleteso, the point is to help speed up the flow of blood?
instead of blood pooling in your legs or stomach, you make it move constantly...to prevent the set up of waste products in one area - ie. lactic acid
and to keep the oxygen levels high since the gradients will always be changing from unworked to worked muscles..
and not sure if you would know this, but since it feels as though your body doesnt have enough blood - stimulates new red blood cells and blood volume?
