Happy Friday everyone!
Today I am very excited to welcome back Sarah Gaines of Fit University for the second installment of our Fitness Friday summer series! Like last weeks exercise, today’s round was developed to help you fit in a great workout anywhere, anytime. Perform each exercise right after one another, resting as little as possible in between exercises. When you complete the first round, rest for a few minutes, and repeat the round again. Do this four times.
Are you ready to get fit? Head outside this weekend and get moving!
Wide Squats (12-15 reps):
Begin standing with your feet wider than shoulder width apart and your toes pointed slightly outward.
With your abs tight, begin to squat down, pushing your hips back and keeping your weight in your heels. Squat low, bending your knees 90 degrees, parallel to the floor. Rise straight up to the starting position, squeezing your butt on the top. Repeat for a total of 12-15 reps.
Tuck jumps (10-12 reps):
Begin standing with your feet shoulder width apart, slightly bent.
Leap straight up in the air as high as you can, tucking your knees up toward your body. Land on your toes and immediately spring back up. Repeat for a total of 10-12 sets.
Tricep Dips (12-15 reps):
Place your hands shoulder width apart behind you on the end of a bench. Extend your legs forward with your heels on the ground, toes pointing up.
Slowly lower your body down towards the ground, bending your elbows 90 degrees. Using your triceps, straighten your arms up to the starting position. Repeat for a total of 12-15 reps.
* Modification: If this is too hard, bend your knees so your legs are at a 90 degree angle with your feet flat on the ground.
Mountain climbers (15-20 reps):
Get into push up position with your hands extended in front of you on a bench.
With your abs tight, bring your right foot off the floor and into your chest. Bring your right foot down and repeat on your left leg. Alternate legs as quick as you can, keeping your body in a straight line. Repeat for a total of 15-20 reps on each leg.
