Workout of the Week 4/12/2020

Happy Easter Everyone!! I hope you have an amazing day with your family in this quarantine. Today's Workout of the Week is designed for some Easter fun!

Hop Hop Hop!!

We are also quickly approaching 2 years of me posting and sharing the Workout of the Week. I am so excited to have been sharing this with you all for so long.

For this workout you will need a jump rope, a plyobox or some sort of bench and a bit of space.

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, there are jumping lunges. With the lunges you start in a standing position and take a big step forward, letting your back knee touch the ground. Make sure the front knee doesn’t go over your toes and keep your back straight. Then jump up and switch your feet position so that the opposite foot is in front.

For box jumps, start with both feet on the floor facing the box shoulder-width apart. Jump up on to the plyo-box, jumping off of both feet at the same time and landing on both feet. Then, make sure to stand all the way up at the top of the box. You can step down or jump down before going again. 

For the jumping 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 jump out of the bottom of the squat and extend your arms over your shoulders coming to a full standing position while in the air.

Next 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.

Workout of the Week

4 Rounds for Time

• 50 DUs
• 25 Jumping Lunges
• 20 Box Jumps
• 15 Jump Squats
• 10 Burpees

Scaling options would be to switch your double unders for singles, or do double under work for one minute. If you can't jump during the lunges, try just doing walking lunges. A scaling option for box jumps would be to do step-ups. To help with the jump squats, you can squat down to a box or chair. For the burpees, you can either not do the pushup or do the push-up against a box or wall.
