Workout FAST like Batman

So your day is coming to an end but still need to get your Batman workout in, but you only have about fifteen minutes. What do you do?.........What would Batman do?
1. There's is one exercise that is certified to make someone huff and puff more than the wolf in the three little pigs in less than 5 minutes and it's called the burpee. The burpee is a squat thrust combined with a squat jump mixed together with a push-up thus offering a full body workout.
This is the how you do a burpee:

  • Get into a very low squat position leaning on your arms and your toes.

Very low squat position.

  • Get in a beginning push-up position.

Push up up position.

  • Get in to the down position of a push-up.

Down position of a push-up.

  • Get into low squat position again.
Very low squat position again.
  •  Jump into the air (squat jump).
Jumping into the air.
  •  Land in low squat position and repeat.

2. If you are in a really cramped environment and can't go outside the dumbbell clean and press is an excellent replacement for the burpee but you'll probably feel "the pain" more in your upper body rather than your lower body.
3. So that's how Batman would do it. If he was out in the jungle without in workout equipment for three weeks that's how he'd exercise on the fly. 
Happy New Years.

Wake up like Batman

Waking up like Batman, really? The beginning to often determines the end, so you might as well start it right, and the end of Batman's days is putting an end to crime, pretty good ending right? So why not start your day like Batman...........
Batman waking up from a dream about Catwoman.

1. Sleep well. It's always important to sleep well to wake up great. Read the Sleep like Batman article for more information.
2. Wake up, get out of bed, do one hundred push-ups. One hundred push-ups? Yes one hundred push-ups, it's not as hard as you think and it'll really get your blood pumping and even make you look better throughout the day.
3. Eat breakfast. This is probably the most important part of waking up like Batman. Breakfast is no doubt the most important meal of the day(believe it because it's true). It sort of balances you through out the day, so random moments of fatigue or hunger will be eliminated, and remember to drink your water. For more information read the Eat like Batman article.
4. Groom yourself. Brush your teeth, then comb your hair, and then dress yourself. You'll feel better about yourself, and feel even more awake. I'll probably write an article about how to do it like batman later.
5. Last but not least, clean your room. Sure Alfred probably cleans Batman's room but if Alfred went on a vacation(as if) for a week I'm sure Batman would clean his room in the mourning. A clean room represents an organized person and you'll feel it too. Then you'll be ready to beat up criminals, climb mountains, party like a rock star, go to school, or go to work, like Batman.
