I am not a personal trainer, these exercises are just things that I, myself do at home!
Make sure your stretch all your muscles before you do any kind of work out and wear proper supportive clothing and foot wear and have a safe place to workout!
lll be posting my first training plan tomorrow in hopes to get Tri ready!
Ill be easing my way into it for the first few weeks and I have made up a bit of a plan for a quick little workout that can be done at home in 5 minutes.
Perfect for when your waiting for your spaghetti to cook
Or when the news is on
Or even in the add break of your favourite show.
This is the level one training program. It will get harder as I go and of course i'm not claiming to be any kind of personal trainer. This is just something I have been doing for a while and I enjoy getting my blood pumping and burning a few calories during the day.
So here we go!
There are 3 kinds of work outs.
1- Move that body.
(all exercises are done in one 45 second intervals with a 15 second break between each activity)
- 45 seconds light jogging on the spot
- 45 seconds skipping rope (no rope required, can jump on the spot and twirl your arms)
- 45 seconds star jumps
- 45 seconds high knees (running on the spot with your hands outstretched by your hips, making sure your knees touch your hands)
- 45 seconds light jogging on the spot.
Sounds super easy right? Give it a go I guarantee it will get your blood pumping.
2- The Butt burner
(all exercises are done in one 45 second intervals with a 15 second break between each activity)
- 45 seconds light jogging on the spot
- 45 seconds of lunges (up and down the hallway works well)
- 45 seconds of squats
- 45 seconds of butt lift (Lay on the ground with your knees bent, push your hips in the air hold for 5 seconds, then go back to the ground. Repeat)
- 45 seconds light jogging on the spot
3- The Arnie arms
(all exercises are done in one 45 second intervals with a 15 second break between each activity)
- 45 seconds skipping rope (no rope required, can jump on the spot and twirl your arms)
- 45 seconds push ups
- 45 seconds prone hold ( lay face down on the ground, bend your arms and straighten your body, hold your body weight up on your elbows with only your elbows and feet on the ground
- 45 seconds chair squats (grab a chair, put your arms on either side of the seat and lower your body towards the ground)
- 45 seconds skipping rope
Now you can do one of these, 2 of them or all of them and i bet you will sweat more than you expect to with a 5 minute work out.
The best thing about these is, if you find it really easy, you can repeat the activity, do more than one activity or up the time! its that simple to make the workout that bit more tricky.
Lik i said this is basic, next week ill be doing a little bit more challenging exercises and ill be putting up my first youtube vid! (how exciting)
If you give it a go let me know!
