Workout of the Week 11/24/19
Next week is Thanksgiving and it is getting closer to the end of the year. This Workout of the Week will help keep you in shape through the holidays! I am one that loves to workout during the holidays.
Usually, from late October through the New Year, I don't really have any fitness goals besides maintaining. Mainly because I want to enjoy eating candy and pies and sweets that I don't normally always indulge in.
For this workout, you only need a little bit of space and a jump rope. This is the jump rope I use!
Movements
First, there are double unders. This is when the jump rope passes below your feet twice in one jump, hence the term double unders.
Next are 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.
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.
Workout of the Week
15 Min AMRAP
- 50 DUs
- 25 Air Squats
- 25 Push-ups
For scaling options, the first would be to do single unders instead of the double unders. Also, For the squats, you can squat down to a box. For the push-ups, you can either do a push up from your knees or do one against a wall or counter.
