Total body exercises without equipment!!
Hey hey guys! I apologize for not posting lately! My life is pure CRAZINESS during recital time but now that it is over, things should slow down🙈🙈Or so I hope! Now that things are getting back to normal I am making an effort to start posting about the things you guys have requested! So here it is:) Finding exercises that you can do anywhere and anytime can be crucial for many of us, especially moms! With that in mind, I created this video with a few of my favorite exercises that you can do without equipment and that you can easily use furniture to add an extra challenge!
1. Tricep pushup with rotation-Get in plank position with your hands shoulder-width apart. Lower your chest toward the floor while keeping your upper arms parallel to your sides and your elbows pointing straight back. Push back up to start. From there shift your weight into one arm and reach the other to the sky while rotating your body into side plank, then slowly rotate back into plank positions. That’s one rep!
2. Plank with knee to opposite elbow- For this one you can leave your feet on the floor or elevate your legs using furniture, a stability ball, or TRX bands for an extra challenge! Keeping your core in tight laterally abduct one leg(take one leg out to the side) and slowly bring your knee through center to the opposite elbow and then back to straight. Repeat and alternate sides:)
3. Hip raise with feet elevated- This one is great for hip stabilization and it doesn’t hurt that it works your glutes too:) Start in supine position(laying on your back) with feet on an elevated surface. Slowly tuck your hips and lift one vertebrae off at a time until your body creates a straight line, reverse this until your hips are back on the ground and repeat!
I like to do 3 sets of 20 for each of these exercises, but you can certainly modify as needed:)
