Workouts

Hey everyone! For this week’s post I wanted to share two great workouts. You can modify the workouts as needed and do what is comfortable for you. Grab a friend or try it by yourself and get ready for a great sweat sesh! 

Workout #1: This workout is one of my favorites especially because it is a no repeat workout! I love no repeat workouts because it feels like the time goes by so much faster. This workout is a strength workout so focus on engaging your body and having good mind to muscle connection. What this means is that when doing a specific exercise, you should be thinking about what part of your body you need to engage and really homing in on that. This workout is also not meant to be super-fast, so don’t zoom through it and remember that you should be feeling the burn if you are engaging 😉. Keep in mind that if you can’t complete the whole thing, that’s great because then it gives you something to work towards! I love seeing how much progress I can make with a workout because you learn how much stronger you have become. The last thing is, break this workout up however you need, depending on the amount of breaks you need. 

100 squats  

10 burpees 

90 sit-ups 

10 burpees 

80 mountain climbers 

10 burpees 

70 lunges  

10 burpees 

60 bicycle crunches 

10 burpees 

50 leg raises 

10 burpees 

40 planks to elbow 

10 burpees 

30 crunches  

10 burpees 

20 push-ups 

10 burpees 

10 back extensions 

Workout #2: This next workout is very different. This is a HIIT style workout which means high intensity interval training. HIIT workouts focus on getting your heart rate up. Getting your heart rate up is great for burning fat and it trains your body to move oxygen and blood to your muscles more efficiently. I have also noticed that HIIT workouts have helped me have more stamina, mentally and physically, and have helped me to get stronger. They also only take a few short minutes but are sure to get you sweaty and tired. You can make this workout harder or easier depending on how you move the timing around. 

20 seconds jump squats  

10 second rest 

20 seconds mountain climbers

20 second half burpee with a push-up (modify the push-up as needed)

20 second ab in/out 

10 second rest
