Workout of the Week 8/29/21
I'm Back!!! I am honestly sorry that it has taken me so long to get back to posting these Workout of the Week posts. But honestly, moving halfway across the world, school, work, now my son's school and Football, and dealing with this pandemic has been a lot. I finally feel like I can get back to some sort of balance between my life and this blog. And I honestly need to kick my own butt in gear on the workout side of things.
I apologize for the hiatus but hopefully, we are moving back to the regular schedule. This week's workout was actually inspired by one I found on Instagram. It isn't exactly the same but I loved the idea. No actual equipment is needed but you will need a bit of space and I do suggest either a yoga mat or an abMat. Then again if you are like me and have the padded flooring, then you might not want or need either.
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.
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.
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
20 Minute AMRAP
- 30 Burpees
- 20 Air Squats
- 10 Sit-ups
Scaling options would be to do the burpees without the push-up or to do it against a box or bench. Air squats can be scaled by doing box squats.
