I wish I could do today’s workout! I don’t want you to miss your workout just because of my toothache, so I have attached the photos below that outline how to do today’s exercise challenge. It’s going to be a really simple and short workout today, but don’t think for a minute that this challenge is easy. Set your timer to count down 15 minutes. You will be doing 10 reps of Low Jumping Jacks and 10 reps of the Core Exercise for which I have unfortunately no name (if anyone has a cool name for this exercise then please leave your suggestions in the comments below). Don’t take any long breaks and try to do as many sets as you can in 15 minutes. You might not be able to do all 10 reps especially in the last 5 minutes or so, but that’s ok. Do as many as you can keeping good form. Have your exercise journal close by so you can write down your score. What counts is the total amount of reps for each exercise. The next time you do this workout you will try to beat that number.
Enjoy this workout. I am going to have a sleep on a pillow of frozen vegetables. Hopefully it will be ok tomorrow and I will be able to workout with you then.
Best,
Zuzana.
Time: 15 minutes
Equipment: Exercise Mat
Exercises: Core Exercise 10 reps, Low Jumping Jacks 10 reps; back and forth.
Sit on your exercise mat and support yourself with your hands behind you. Bent your knees and bring them towards your chest. Keep your shoulders down and chest up, and your abs contracted. This is your starting position.
Extend your legs out, point your toes and try to lock your knees. Bring your knees towards your chest again and repeat 10 times. You can make this exercise harder if you raise your arms up above your head and keep them there through out the movement.
Stand with your feet hip width apart, place your hands behind your head and bend your knees to get your butt low. Get ready to jump.
Push off of your feet and jump up bringing your legs apart.
Land softly on the balls of your feet. Your legs are wide apart and knees bent. Jump up again and bring your feet together. Stay low, these are not regular jumping jacks, so make sure that your knees are bent at all times. Do 10 reps per set of Low Jumping Jacks.
27 rounds :)
Hey Zuzana,
dont know if you found a name for the core exercise yet, but how about V-Sit crunches?
