Build Muscle by Walking - The 'Walk' Muscle Building Workout

Who knew you could build muscle while walking? Well, not exactly the type of walking you might be thinking of. With the ATHLEAN-X "Walk" workout you will be doing a total body workout designed to help you build muscle and burn fat in the minimal time that is needed to do so.

One of the biggest problems these days is overtraining. Guys performing 60 minute long workouts 4,5 or even 6 days a week are cutting into their muscle building potential and wasting much of their workout efforts. With this week's workout "the Walk" you'll see how just three rounds of this workout can get you building all new muscle while avoiding the pitfalls of overtraining. Here is the muscle building workout:

Sagittal Plane
==========

Terminator Rows
Walking Shoulder Presses

Frontal Plane
==========

Side Lunge Curls
Side Lunge High Pulls

Transverse Plane
=============

Drop Step Lunges
Drop Step Cleans

This circuit workout is ideally performed three times with minimal rest (1-2 minutes) in between rounds. Yes it's intense...but then again, in order to build muscle it has to be.

Remember, when it comes to working out you can either train hard or you can train long, but if you want to burn fat and build muscle you can't do both!

This is SICK. Any day you can play "Terminator" is a good day! My mom saw me sprinting recently and said I looked like the T-1000 (the one from T2) chasing after the car! Sweet.

Tried the WALK for 3 sets using 15lbs weights. Right now sweating like crazy!!!
Great workout for a Sunday morning! Feels pumped and energized.
Thanks Jeff for another fun and effective WALKout!!!

Thanks for this video I know 9 years old and I'm a massive follower. I find you more educational than my actual PT training course. Legend

Not checking Jeff's old videos is a crime.

Those dumbells definitely sound like the Terminator

A Jeff video I don't think I've ever seen! A very athletic workout. Shouldn't expect anything else, really.

I had a dream that Jeff was in my house, and we trained together .. Imagine how bad I felt after I woke up :/

[danielpothier]

a lot of balance. legs are fried. zero momentum. all of these add up to a hell of an exercise. love your videos, they actually educate the viewer with solid scientific information.

[MegaFoxylicious]

Great stuff Jeff! Keep the new generation of fitness coming :) Your so innovative!

[hvm]

A perfect cardio for non lifting days or for warming before lifting. Perfect!

[ASHMAN]

While watching this video Jeff I came up with an idea I pick up a 40lb and hold it in 1 hand while I watch a type this message holding it for 4 mins each

[hoptop]

I coming off a torn quad ligament injury, so this looks like the perfect thing to get my running strength back. Thanks

Hey Jeff here are some videos I’d love to see👍🏼.
If anyone agrees copy paste so Jeff sees!

HOW TO WALK PROPERLY(we take thousands of steps everyday, we should do it right)


HOW TO LIFT THINGS IN YOUR LIFE (like a couch or new appliance, or those big planters you carried through your yard!)

I'm not trying to be rude or anything but it would be really helpful if Jeff starts saying the schedule of a workout like how many times a week or something like that.

[gimnli]

wow ima do that on my next workout, ty jeff keep making this awesome videos

[Sephirothvergil]

It actually makes it tougher to balance and increase the need of your core. It pretty much makes the workout harder. However if it is too hard to use round dumbells then try doing it on carpet. it should help alittle.

[smalllebowski]

Awesome video and exercises! What kind of dumbbells are those?! They’re usually round or hex, these are square - a bit more convenient for those exercises.

[Michael]

That last exercise looks like a BEAST!!!!

[ksdaman]

Actually I get more from his weekly videos than the Athlean program I got
