Workout of the Week 6/2/19
Its June ya'll and we are half way through the year! Have you met any of your goals this year? Well here is another Workout of the Week to help keep you on track.
M life has definitely changed so much since the beginning of the year when I set my original goals, but so far my health and fitness seems to still be doing pretty good. I haven't been as consistent as I would have liked but I haven't given up either.
For this workout you will need a Kettlebell and a place to workout. I would also suggest an AbMat for the sit-ups.
Movements
First 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.
For Goblet squats hold the KB at your chest height. 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 KB swings. For these start standing over the KB with it between your legs that are shoulder-width apart. Pick it up, then bending your knees slightly swing the KB overhead using the strength from your legs and hips. The bottom of the KB should face the sky directly about your head before you bring it back down.
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.
Workout of the Week
5 Rounds for Time
- 20 Burpees
- 20 Goblet Squats
- 20 KB Swings
- 20 Sit-ups
Scaling options would be to do the burpees without the push-up or to do the push-up on a box or bench. Next scaling option would be to scale the weight of the KB you use.
I hope you are all doing well with your fitness goals seeing as we are half way through the year! Let's keep it going!
