Think this one block workout will be a breeze? Your upper body will disagree!
We’ll kick it off with Step Jacks to get that heart rate up! If you’re not doing them right it can seem super easy to just step back in forth, but you want to make sure you’re keeping those arms active and really using those glutes to push your legs out!
Next we will move on to split squats, which are great for building up your hamstrings. If you sit a lot for work, these are going to really loosen up any tightness. Remember that your front leg is doing the work, so be sure to sink through your hips as you go down to target the hamstrings and calf of that front leg, rather than your back knee.
Get ready to work your core because we are moving on to Reverse crunches! These are going to work the correct abdominal muscles to give you the results you want. Hold that core strong and tight and make sure your legs are actively changing the pressure on your abdominal muscles while you tap your heels on the ground and back up.
Finish this block strong with tabletops! If you have neck pain or back pain from poor posture, this can really help you. Make sure you open your chest and squeeze those shoulder blades back and together to stop bad posture and make sure to dig through your heels to activate the movement. You don’t want to use your arms to push up, but use your legs!
