Hi Everyone!

Several of you have asked for exercises you can do at home or while you’re traveling that do not require equipment.  Below are 2 body weight exercise videos! 

The first video shows correct form for 6 body weight exercises:

1.      Push-up

2.      Plank

3.      Plank to Push-up

4.      Superman

5.      Squats

6.      Lunges

The second video is a routine using 4 of the bodyweight exercises.

1.      10 Push-ups

2.      24 Jump lunges

3.      10 Plank to push-up

4.      12 jump squats

In the video, we complete 3 full sets.  I would recommend completing either 3-6 sets or set a timer for 20min and cycle through as many sets as you can in 20min.  Before you start your workout, warm your body up by walking or jogging in place for 5min.

There are lots of different routines you can create from these 6 exercises.  Create one that works for you.  If you can only do 5 push-ups and 10 lunges…GREAT…start there and challenge yourself to do 3 sets.  You will get stronger the more you try 🙂.  It really is possible to fit strength training into your day…especially when it’s a 20min workout!

Please email me if you have any questions at all about form or putting together a specific routine. 

Enjoy the rest of your day 🙂

Yours in Health and Wellness,
