Welcome to DAY 1

Functional HIIT Workout of the Day:

• Jump Rope
• Push-Up “W”
• Narrow/Wide Jumps
• Bridge Walk-Outs

Core Stability Workout of the Day:

• Bird Dog Series

These workouts will go by quick! Typically I would spend about 5-10 minutes for each warm-up and cool-down but the intention of diving right into these HIIT workouts is to show you the variety of exercises you can use, how you can more efficiently perform the movements and why they help the body improve!

High intensity training is great because it keeps the heart rate high to increase cardiovascular activity while also maintaining muscle hypertrophy and strength. It is quite normal for me to be sure after just a 22 minute HIIT workout (not shown here).

The HIIT workout includes 2 more cardiovascular heavy compenents – the Jump Rope and Narrow/Wide Squat Jumps – and 2 more strength based exercises – the Push-Up “W” and bridge walk-outs. Each exercise is designed to not only vary the levels of your heart rate, but also maintain muscle activation and address upper body, lower body, core and a push with a pull. All things to keep that body FUNCTIONAL!

Be on the look out for visual cues, as well as modications and progressions throughout the workout! Remember, it is ALWAYS best to listen to your OWN body’s needs. The intention is function. So, let’s make this body as functional as possible and MOVE!
