06 Feb Home Workout of the Week (Feb 8, 2020)

Welcome to Your Home Workout of the Week!

This 10-minute workout uses The P.A.U.L. Method, designed specifically for busy professionals to maximize results in minimal time.

Here’s how it works:

Each P.A.U.L. workout includes one exercise from the following 4 categories:

P: Plyometrics –> Gets your heart rate up to burn fat.
A: Abs –> Builds strong core and tight waist.
U: Upper Body –> Strengthens and tones arms & torso.
L: Lower Body –> Strengthens and tones glutes and legs.

How it’s Done:

Step 1: Perform each exercise for 30 seconds.

Step 2: After completing all 4 exercises, rest 30 seconds and repeat.

Step 3: Stop once you’ve reached 10 minutes (4 sets). Take a quick peak in the mirror — you just nailed your workout for the day.

Here are the 4 exercises you’ll be performing this week:

EXERCISE #1: Lateral Hops (Plyometric Cardio)

​
This week’s Plyometric Cardio exercise is called “The Lateral Hop”.​
​
Not familiar with this one?​
​
It’s cool, neither was Krista. You can both learn together.

(Note: Use the modification in the tutorial video if you have any joint pain with jumping.)

EXERCISE #2: Russian Twist (Abs)

So about those Russians…​

They can be a little intense.​

If you haven’t seen this exercise before, the Russian Twist is the go-to movement to tone up the sides of your stomach (think love handles).​
​
This will also train your core stability during rotational movements (think improving your golf swing and maintaining your ability to look behind you… without your neck and/or back bloody murder).​

EXERCISE #3: Push-Ups (Upper Body)

The Push-Up is like the Kleenex of bodyweight workouts.​
​
It has such incredible brand awareness that when you imagine a bodyweight exercise, an image of a push-up is almost instantly conjured in your mind.​
​
But let’s pause there for a second.​
​
Hold onto that image.​
​
Because whatever Push-Up image your brain has right now — it probably contains one, if not all, of these three terrible mistakes.​

EXERCISE #4: Bodyweight Squat (Lower Body)

The bodyweight squat is the HARDEST squat to learn.​
​
True story.​
​
Learning how to squat your own bodyweight is harder than learning how to squat 500 lbs.​
​
Again, true story.​
​
Here’s why:​
