Workout of the Week 12/29/19

Well it’s the last weekend of the year and time for 2019’s last Workout of the Week.

I am very excited for the new year! I have almost marked 2 years blogging and providing these workouts for all of you!

Next year will bring more additions to the blog and the products I work with to offer you the best in health and wellness!!

For this workout you need a set of dumbbells and some space. I use 20 lb DBs. Let’s bring in the New Year with a great workout!

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 backward. 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 deadlifts start while holding the weight at hip level standing up straight. Then you will lower the weights to the ground, making sure to keep a straight and strong back position, slightly bending the legs. Once you touch the ground, stand back up, keeping the weights close to the body.

Next, are weighted squats, where you can hold the weight any way you want. 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.

Workout of the Week

2 Rounds for Time

• 12 Burpees
• 29 DB Deadlifts
• 20 Burpees
• 19 DB Squats

Scaling options for the burpees would be to do it without the push-up or to do the push-up against a plyobox, bench or wall. For the squats and deadlifts scaling the weight would be the best option.
