Here is a link to some of the zoom workouts we did during the shut down of 2020. It’s hard to believe that was 3 years ago! All of the workouts on these videos are either bodyweight or with household objects you’ll have around the house. And I have to admit, they are pretty tough! Please excuse the beginning of each video as we sign on and get situated. Also, you can skip to the next workout through the playlist as needed.
I hope you’ve been working on standing up without hands! Here is a video to help mobilize your hips and then stand from the ground….
WORKOUT #3: Descending Ladder
Complete 10 reps of each exercise, then repeat performing 9 reps, continuing through until you reach round 10 performing 1 rep of each exercise. Good luck!
While the cats away, the mice will play…… Not today! I can’t leave you without some kind of challenge or homework to do! First, keep working on your ability to stand up off the ground without using your hands. In addition, try sitting or standing from your dining room or office chair on 1 leg. Attempting a couple of these a day will make these significantly easier in the gym.
EVERYDAY MOVEMENT TO WAKE AND WARM YOU UP:
WORKOUT #1: The Backpack Workout
Fill a backpack with some books or sweatshirts. This will be your weight for the workout.
Complete 3 Rounds:
15 Backpack Squats
10 X Woodchops per side (squat and swing bag up and across your shoulder)
15 Tricept extensions (lifting bag behind then overhead)

We know this is an uncertain time, and if you are practicing social distancing, there is no need for you to neglect your fitness.
Follow along these warm up and cool down videos before&after your workout, or to just get your butt off the couch after Netflix and chillin all day. Plus, we’ve included 5 at-home workouts listed further below. Visit our YouTube page to see more exercises.
