Time to work off the turkey, gravy and stuffing, and carry forward the gratitude for our full bodies with this three block workout.
First we will do sit to stands using your bigger leg muscles (quads and hamstrings) instead of your knees as you stand from the seated position.
Keep your core engaged as you bend down through the hips and come back up. It’s as simple as sitting down and standing, but concentrate on keeping a flat back and engaged core. Next up, step jacks! Keep this whole exercise active by really pushing up your arms and stepping out your legs. These will get your heart rate up and leave you feeling amazing. For the final exercise in this block, with perfect form we go to the kneeling push ups. Make sure to keep your arms at 90 degrees and keep your glutes squeezed and pelvis tucked (don’t arch your back!) These are a great starting point to any push up variation.
Block 2 is all about the shoulder bridge hold. This may seem easy, but you want to make sure you’re really pushing through your hips to keep your legs active as you hold this position. This will engage your core and strengthen your back muscles, be sure to keep your shoulders down so you get the most out of this one.
For our final block and exercise is the burpee walkout. They get your arms and legs doing a lot of work, and they’re also great cardio. When you come down, think about it like you’re bending down to grab something with perfect form, then step each leg back, walk them back up to squatting and stand back up. If you want to ease into squat thrusts or full burpees, try adding a hop at the end of each walkouts.
