Optional Friday Bodyweight | Home
This entire workout will take about 30 minutes, warm up and coolown included. Feel free to use this as a bonus workout or sub out another day this week when short one time. It’s got quite a bit of plyometrics but everything can be modified by stepping into or pulsing a movement vs jumping.
Warm Up
BODYWEIGHT WARM UP
5 Minutes
WALKOUT
30 seconds
LOW LUNGE CROSSBODY TWIST
60 seconds
Switch front leg halfway. Exhale as you reach hand to sky, allow your gaze to follow to deepen the stretch
DEEP SQUAT + HAMSTRING STRETCH
60 seconds
Squat down until your hips are lower than your knees. Allow your knees to point slightly outward. Keep your chest proud. Hold the bottom of each squat for a count of 10.
22 Minute HIIT
For this workout you will perform one exercise twice before moving to the next movement. Forty seconds of work is challenging. We are working on endurance here. I encourage you to stay in the movement for the entire 40 seconds. That may mean you need to slow down or modify, but keep the resting during the written rest cycles. The last 6 minutes of this workout will be core work. I challenge you to push it for the first 16 minutes. Do not leave anything left in the tank.
I use the free Tabata Stopwatch in the iPhone App Store. In settings put the ‘exercise interval’ to 40 seconds and the ‘rest interval’ to 20 seconds. ‘Number of sets’ 20.
