Okay, so I’ve been hearing a lot about Tim Tebow’s legendary workouts, and I figured, why not give it a shot? I mean, the guy’s a beast, right? So, I decided to try and follow his routine, or at least a version of it I could find online. Let me tell you, it was rough.
The Warm-up (aka “Pre-Pain”)
I started with a dynamic warm-up, you know, to get the blood flowing. I’m talking stuff
- arm circles,
- leg swings,
- high knees,
- butt kicks.
Felt pretty good at this point, still optimistic. Little did I know…
The “Fun” Begins
Then came the real workout. I focused on compound movements, because that’s what I saw Tebow does a lot. I’m talking:
- Sprints: I did a few sets of short, all-out sprints. My lungs were burning, my legs were screaming, and I’m pretty sure I pulled something in my hamstring. Note to self: I am not an NFL quarterback.
- Push-ups: I tried to do as many as I could, then do some more. I lost count somewhere around… a very low number. My arms turned to jelly.
- Squats: Lots and lots of squats. I was trying to use a proper * legs were shaking so bad, I thought I was going to collapse.
- Pull-ups: Okay, I attempted pull-ups. Keyword: attempted. I think I managed a shaky, half-rep before my grip gave out. Humbling, to say the least.
- Plank:Hold the plank position, I hold the position until my arms are shaking.
The Cool-Down (aka “The Relief”)
Finally, I finished with some static stretches, holding each stretch for, like, an eternity because everything hurt. I basically just collapsed on the floor and tried not to cry.
My Verdict?
This workout was brutal. Seriously. I’m in decent shape, but this pushed me to my absolute limit. I have a newfound respect for Tim Tebow and his insane work ethic. Maybe I’ll try this again sometime… after I recover. Which might take a week. Or a month.
