It’s officially here–my very first YouTube video! It’s a work in progress but a good start to the beginning of many workouts I have to share with you! This one is easy to follow along to and focuses on your lower body as well as shoulders, core, and obliques.
You can complete this circuit up to 5 times if you are feeling up for the challenge. Complete only 3 times if you are a beginner. As always, make sure you warm up before. A good way to warm up is by doing jumping jacks, butt kicks and speed skaters. Or if time allows, head out for a light 1-3 mile jog.
Circuit 1 : Grasshopper
Works your butt, abs, obliques, back and shoulders ✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️
Get into a straight arm plank position with shoulders over wrists and feet hip width distance apart. Bring left knee up and across to right elbow, as shown in video. Return left leg to floor and repeat on opposite side. Do 10 reps each side.
Circuit 2: Modified Burpee with Low Squat Hold
Works your butt, core, shoulders, back, quads ✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️
Getting into a straight arm plank position with feet slightly wider than your hips, jump your legs forward while bending your knees in at the same time and land in a low squat position. Hold for 2 seconds and then hop your legs back out to plank/starting position. Repeat 12 times.
Circuit 3: Double Pulse Squat
Works butt, quads, back ✔️✔️✔️
Stand with feet slightly wider than hip distance, come down to a 90 degree squat position then pulse down further and come back up to standing. When you come to standing squeeze your butt and squeeze your shoulders back. Repeat 10 times, holding your squat position for 10 secs on the last squat.
Circuit 4: Side Plank Hold
Works your shoulders, back, core, obliques✔️✔️✔️✔️
Balance on one arm while keeping your body straight and your shoulders stacked and hold for 20 seconds. To advance, bring your top leg up and hold. To modify, come down to your knees. Repeat on other side.
I hope you enjoyed this workout!
