Here's some workouts you can do at home. All you need is some space and maybe a resistance tube. Each workout should take around 20 minutes. Remember, every workout should begin with a proper warmup to prepare your body for activity.
Warmup Guidelines:
Warmup Guidelines:
- Open your shoulders and hips with arm and leg swings. These can be done vertically and horizontally for about 15-20 reps per side.
- Reestablish your trunk stability with your favorite core exercises (planks, side planks, deadbugs, hollow holds). These can be done for a few sets for 15-20 seconds at a time as part of the warmup.
- Include 10-15 reps of a few of your favorite body weight movements (squats, lunges, push-ups, hip bridges, jumping jacks, etc.)
Don't have time to work out? Here are some things you can do every day to keep moving:
- Try to get 10,000 steps a day. Split up your time watching Netflix with the fam with a walk around the block!
- Accumulate 2-4 min of plank through the day. You can split this up with 2 sets in the morning and 2 sets in the evening. Scale to your liking.
- Accumulate 50-100 squats through the day. Same idea- split them up through the day. You can do this with any simple bodyweight movement, like push ups.
- Start the day with a two minute warmup- do some cat-cows, downward dog, half kneeling. Take some moves out of our standard BHIP warmup.
