Resolute sweat sessions for 2018

accreditation

So, things happen, right? Like falling off the workout plan you had set out to do. No need to beat yourself up about that. Today is a new day and we have a set of four full body combo workouts that are sure to remind you how great exercise feels. This one is an Amrap – as many reps as possible – workout. As always, beginners should set their time limit for 10 minutes, those on the intermediate level for 15 minutes and the advanced must go for at least 20 minutes. Let the sweating begin!

1. Step-up to three pulse squats x 10

Place a chair in front of you and step up on to it one foot at a time. Come back down again one foot at a time. From here, lower your hips into a squat formation and do three pulsating squats. This counts as one repetition.

2. Press-up to diagonal spiders (left and right) x 10

Start in a plank position and do a press-up. When you are back in a plank, bring your left knee up to your right elbow and then return to plank position. Repeat this motion with the right knee and left elbow to complete one rep. Complete as many reps as possible.

3. Two elevated bridges to heel tap (left and right) x 10

Lie in front of a chair with your feet on the edge. Perform two pelvic elevations by lifting your hips until they are in a straight line with your knees. Bring your upper body up and tap your right heel with your right hand then lie back down again. Lift twice again and tap your left heel with your left hand. This is one repetition.

4. Forward and backwards jump squat to donkey jacks x 10

In a squat position, jump forward then backwards. Lower your upper body to the floor and place both hands flat on the ground. Hover your knees off the ground and do two donkey jacks. This counts as one rep.
