Workout Details:
Main Workout
- March: Begin with a steady march to get your blood flowing and start gently warming up your legs. This movement helps loosen up the hip joints and bring awareness to your posture.
- Hip Stretch: Shift into a hip stretch, focusing on your hip flexors. This stretch enhances mobility, especially crucial for exercises that target lower body strength. Engage your breathing as Coach James shares affirmations to connect your mindset and body.
- Plank Hold: Transition to a plank, holding a stable position to activate your core. Planks build core strength and stability, essential for balanced movement and supporting your spine.
- Side Bird Dog Twist: Moving into side bird dog twists, you’ll work on your core stability and balance, engaging muscles along your torso and improving control.
- Glute Bridge Knee Extension: Lie down for glute bridges with a knee extension, targeting the glutes and hamstrings. This movement activates your posterior chain, critical for explosive and stabilizing movements.
- High Knees and Squats: Incorporate high knees and squats to elevate your heart rate and warm up larger muscle groups, such as your quads, glutes, and calves.
- Butt Kickers: Finish with butt kickers, a fun and dynamic movement to open up your thighs and keep your heart rate up. This final exercise will increase circulation and give a boost of energy to kick off your workout!
