Hello friends!
I hope your weekend is going great! Things at the James household have been pretty normal. Remmie peed and pooped outside so we did a little dance to celebrate and I finally got into the kitchen for some good cookin!
But first…
I found this workout over at Pure2Raw and healthywithheather and I had to give it a try! I wasnt feeling motivated to hit the gym so I hit it hard with this 100 rep workout followed by an hour of a new Power Yoga Podcast. Click here to take you to the Podcast link.
- Free and easy to do at home!
- Quick and works up a good sweat
- works every part of the body ( I was so sore the next day!)
Workout breakdown~ (from healthywithheather)
High knees – knees meet hands in front of you ~ each time both legs go up it’s 1 rep
Skater lunges – check out this video to see how slow skaters are done
Jumping jacks – everyone knows a jumping jack ~ go as fast + powerful as you can
Plié squat – wider legs with knees pointing to corners ~ make sure your knees track in the same direction as your toes during the squats
Thread the needle – start in a side plank on hand and feet with 1 arm going straight up into the air ~ thread that hand though the space between the ground and your body (pictured above)
Tackle hops – check out the sweat worthy weekend workout for a breakdown
Spiderman pushups – regular pushup, but with each rep bring a knee to your elbow, alternating sides
Straight leg lifts – begin seated leaning slightly back, hands on the ground ~ bring your straight legs up in front of you, then back down
Single leg squat – check out the sweat worthy weekend workout for a breakdown
Diamond push ups – check out the sweat worthy weekend workout for a breakdown
Notes: Make sure to include 5 minutes of dynamic warming up – don’t just jump into the workout. Cool down + stretch after.
Let me know what you think!
Enjoy your weekend!!
xoxo
