Workout of the Week 5/10/2020

Happy Mother's Day!! I hope all the mom's out there have a wonderful day! Get out and spend it with your family, get your exercise on!! It's time for another Workout of the Week!

Today marks 5 years of celebrating Mother's Day for me. And it is amazing how much our lives have changed since COVID19. Normally, we would go out to a restaurant maybe go do something fun as a family. This year we did a movie day inside and my husband cooked dinner.

It was still amazing but I definitely missed our normal routine. And I have been struggling to work out and move especially since the weather turned cooler again. But today the sun is shining so lets get after it!

For today's workout you will need a jump rope and a Kettlebell.

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 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.

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.

For the squats, hold the weight at 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. 

Workout of the Week

5 Rounds for Time

• 50 DUs
• 4 Burpees
• 22 Kb Swings
• 15 Goblet Squats

Scaling options would be to do Single under instead of DUs. For the burpees, you can scale by not doing the push-up or doing it against a box or counter. For the KB Swings and goblet squats just lower to the weight to a manageable weight.

I hope you enjoyed this workout! Happy Mother's Day to all the Mom's!!
