These are the last couple of days I can refer to myself as a “twenty-something”. But I ain’t mad. I’m happy to say that at almost 30, after 2 kids, I’m at my absolute best- simply because I've never been more comfortable in my own skin. Come at me, 30!
You can wish me a happy birthday by pushing yourself HARD and knocking out this workout- giving the entire 4 runs your absolute best! Hit it hard, then enjoy your day.
Workout Breakdown:
Burpees (Squat-Thrust Jumps)
Start in standing position. Squat down, place your hands down in front of your feet. Kick your legs out behind you into plank position. Do a pushup (optional). Jump your legs back up into squat position. Jump straight up as high as you can, swinging your arms up overhead. Repeat.
Pop Squats
Begin in squat position with chest and head up, knees in line with toes. Explosively jump up, bringing feet together and straightening- but not locking- legs. Then immediately jump back into squat position. Repeat.
Db Stiff Legged Deadlifts-
Grab a pair of dumbbells with an overhead grip (palms facing your thighs). Stand up straight with legs shoulder width apart (or a bit narrower). Keeping knees stationary, inhale and slowly lower dumbbells over the top of your feet by bending at the hips while keeping your back straight. Keep going until you feel a slight stretch in your hamstrings. Exhale and return back to starting position by moving from the hips and bringing the torso back up. Repeat.
Spiderman Pushups-
Begin in standard pushup position. As you begin to lower, lift your right foot off the floor, moving it sideways, bringing your right knee up to your right elbow. Reverse the movement while pushing up to return to starting position. Repeat with the left leg.
Butt Ups-
Begin in plank position with your back slightly arched out. Inhale, raising your glutes toward the ceiling, closing in the gap between your ribcage and your hips. Exhale and return to starting position. Repeat. This one is a bit tricky. Click here for a video. You can click on the tab that says “female” if you want to see it demonstrated by a female- I often think it helps because some movements can look rather different when performed by a male vs a female.
