Continuing with our "Be Efficient" theme in this week’s newsletter.
Gosh that sounds so boring….blah
So, LET'S SHAKE IT UP! Because you know I ❤️ fitness and I’m also a strong believer in it should NEVER be boring or a chore.
Movement should make you feel ALIVE!
So even when we start talking form & precision to get the most out of your workout, I also want you to infuse energy into every move you make.
Think…
Engaged. Focus. Exciting!
Ok, with those thoughts in mind, I am giving you three more moves to add onto last week’s mini-workout routine. If you missed that newsletter click HERE to catch up. Otherwise, let’s check out The Lunge, The Attitude Lift & The Spidey Plank.
The Lunge
Mindset Tip: This version stays stationary until you change sides, so “Own Your Space”
Movement Cues:
Step your right leg back, balancing on the ball of the foot with heel raised, toes forward & posture tall.
Lower the back knee down to hover over the floor.
In this bottom position, create two 90 degree angles with your legs, keeping your forward knee behind your toes.
Return to your start position.
Repeat 15-20x and switch sides.
The Attitude Lift
Mindset Tip: It’s called an Attitude, so bring the energetic drama, have FUN, be playful.
Movement Cues:
Stand tall in 1st Position, meaning heels together & your toes turned out in a narrow ‘V”, with your arms extended out to the sides.
Keep your turn out in tact & point your right toes on the floor in front of you. Shine your inner thigh upward with your knee slightly bent.
Lift & lower the leg, with hips level and posture upright for 15-20 reps.
Then switch sides and repeat.
The Spidey Plank
Mindset Tip: Originally named after Spiderman, but changing it to Spidey to make it gender neutral 😝 Either way, think super hero. Strong. Determined. Unstoppable.
Movement Cues:
Start in plank position with your hands underneath the shoulders, core engaged, legs fired up and energy reaching out through the crown of the head, as well as out through your heels.
Bring one knee toward your outer arm and then return to start.
Alternate legs, switching from side to side for 16-20 reps.
These three exercises make a GREAT quick workout or you can combine them with the moves from last week for a longer routine.
Either way, keep moving your body during these next 2 months MINDFULLY.
It will make your season shine bright & keep your body healthy & strong!
Love,
Janine
