Today’s Workout

Most of the workouts have been full body HIIT style workouts so today I thought you could try something a little different.  Like he says in the video, when you don’t have any equipment your back is often neglected when exercising.  Hope you try this out and enjoy trying something different.  My hope is that these resources will continue to show you how creative you can be with fitness.

April 22 – Today’s Workout

This is a really versatile workout that will allow you to adjust it according to your ability and desired outcome.  This is a great workout for your core, shoulders, and glutes.  She completes 5 sets in 10 minutes with no breaks which is great because she is in fantastic shape, so some adaptations are:

  • take a short rest (1 minute or so) in between sets
  • adjust your reps of each movement in the set in order to maintain the same volume throughout
  • perform the movements with control rather than speed

April 20 – Today’s Workout

Tabata training:

  • type of HIIT workout consisting of a number of rounds of high intensity exercises with 20 seconds on and 10 seconds off intervals
  • each exercise will last 4 minutes using the interval split with a minute rest in between exercises.
  • these work out will consist of 5-8 exercises or movements

Important things to note:
