Workout of the Week 5/5/19
Happy Cinco de Mayo everyone!! I hope you all have a wonderful day but I am still sending out a Workout of the Week. It is up to you whether you do it today or later this week!
Personally I would go for either first thing this morning or later this week.
This Workout you don't need any equipment just some space and maybe an abMat or yoga mat. If you are looking to add items to your at-home gym check out my post on the Best 5 items under $50.
Movements
First up is Squats. Start with your feet shoulder width apart. Then squat down until your hip crease is below your knee crease, making sure to keep your weight on your heels and your knees tracking out over your toes. Also, keep your chest up. Then come back to a full standing position.
Next are burpees, one of our favorite cardio movements. For this you will start in a standing position, then bring your hands down to the ground near your feet as you jump your feet backwards. This will put you in a plank position, from here do a push-up making sure that your chest touches the ground. Then you will jump your feet back up to your hands and then stand all the way up and finish with a jump clapping your hands over your head.
Sit-ups are next. These are pretty simple. Start by lying down on your back with your legs in a butterfly position. Then sit up, keeping your back straight and bring your shoulders past your hip crease. I recommend having an abMat under your back to help.
Then there are Push-ups. For these start in the plank position and go down so your chest touches the ground and then push all the way back up. Keep your back straight and try not to worm your way back up.
Lastly, there are lunges. With the lunges you start in a standing position and take a big step forward, letting your back knee touch the ground. Make sure the front knee doesn’t go over your toes and keep your back straight. If you are doing walking lunges stand up bringing your back foot to the front foot. If you are doing stationary, then bring your front foot back towards your back foot.
