Tuesday Home Workout

Here is an active recovery or perfect beginner workout. I was feeling pretty beat up from all the classes I’ve been teaching and skating, so I wanted to do something light and get some movement in. Movement to me is truly medicine, it clears my mind, improves my mood and just sets the tone for the rest of my day.  You don’t have to go hard every day, and doing what feels good is really important. Your body needs to recover and rest. So if you need some active recovery, or just getting started, try this one out! Also shout out to my Mom, my biggest fan- Love to our Portuguese roots, and wearing my shirt with pride! xoxo
5 reps: inchworm walk out, pushup, downward dog, pushup, inchworm walk back. ( scale to pushups on the knees)
10 reps: Pike squats. Keep legs together and straight for a gentle bounce at the top, then squat down (it’s ok that heels come off the ground) and do a gentle bounce at the bottom of the squat.
10 reps: Bird Dogs. Go on all fours, raise your opposite arm and leg and hold it 5 seconds. Repeat on the other side. Try to keep your arm up by your ear, and hips level. Use your core to balance.
20 reps: Windshield Wipers. Lay down on your back, arms out to the sides. Don’t let your shoulder blades lift off the floor as you lower your legs to the side, use your obliques to bring the legs to the other side slow and controlled.
20 reps: Crab kicks with mini triceps dip. Do a small dip, raise up and then touch your opposite hand to leg. Try to be smooth, use your core to stay stable and balanced.
10 reps: Bridge lift with single leg lifts. Get in bridge position, lift up hips and squeeze your glutes, then lift right leg up 5 seconds, left leg 5 seconds. Try to keep your hips high when you lift your leg.  Lower back down and repeat.

It’s already Thursday and we are back with challenging workout. Don’t have a barbell? No worries, you can use a DB or KB instead. Thanks for following along and have a wonderful day campers! Thanks Courtney and Steve for providing home workouts for our members! xoxo

Power Snatch
Lateral Burpee over equipment
This is a ascending ladder: how it works is you will do 1 Power Snatch and 1 Lateral Burpee then  2 Power Snatch and 2 Lateral Burpee all the way up to 10!
For snatch you can use barbell, kb or dumbbell! Aim for a load that you can do in 1-2 sets. Lateral Burpee is done next to your equipment then you jump over equipment sideways.

Wednesday Home Workout

Wednesday’s home workout is all about the upper body. Minimal equipment required for this one. If you have a suspension trainer like a TRX, or pull-up bar that would be ideal, but you can sub with a set of dumbbells.
My goal during quarantine has to focus on quality of movement and not so much intensity. I am moving to feel good and give me a sense of accomplishment during these strange times. Listen to your body and keep moving! Miss your faces xoxo
I did 5 rounds:
20 side plank rotations on hand. If your wrists bug you, you can do these on your forearms too
10 rows or pull-ups. You can use a suspension trainer like me, or sub with weights and do dumbbell rows.  (last video)
10 Bench dips – fingertips pointing out to the sides, and keep those shoulders externally rotated and don’t let your elbows flare out.
3 Wall Walks – smooth and steady. Stay hollow!  You can do 5 inchworms, with a pushup if the wall walks are too much
