Here's a total body workout you can do in your backyard. You'll need some resistance bands. The stability ball is optional. The order is Abs, Chest, Legs, Back. Each time you see abs is a new section. Do each section (abs, chest, legs, back) twice. Keep the same order and keep moving. Do not repeat the same exercise right in a row. When I say repeat, I mean repeat in the order you did it. Complete the segment, then do it all over again just like you did the first time.
Plank on Stability Ball
Pushup with feet on SB
Lunge Pulses- Lunge down with your right leg, bounce or come slightly up and down 3x, then on the 4th count come all the way up from your lunge. Continue with that same leg 15x then switch legs and repeat the same thing.
Lat Pulldown- put RB on something high above your head, bend your knees, pull RB down leading with your elbows, keep your shoulders back.
Start with ball in arm, reach up and give it to your feet, then while holding the ball with your feet, lower your legs. This will kill your abs! (This is an advanced move.)
Chest Fly -wrap RB around tree, grab each end, bring palms together.
Lateral Walks (for glutes and hips)- hold hands on opposite ends of RB, take a wide step with your right foot, and bring your left foot in with a small step, so you're walking sideways for 20 steps, then go the opposite direction with your left foot. KEEP YOUR KNEES BENT!
Row- bend over but keep your shoulders back which makes your back straight, bring your arms back for a row. Lead with your elbows, keep them close to your body, and squeeze your shoulder blades together.
Wrap the RB around tree and hold ends of RB above your shoulders, crunch up. The RB gives resistance for your crunch.
Squats with resistance- Step on the band so it's underneath both feet, grab each end and bring around your back and hold it on your shoulders. Squat up and down as shown and you'll feel the resistance. Remember to keep your knees behind your toes.
Deltoid Raise- Start with hands at side, lift up your elbows to keep a 90 degree angle.
Triceps Extension
Biceps Curl
Once you've finished you can feel good about yourself and not feel guilty for relaxing!
I don't always comment but just wanted to say that I'm loving your ideas. This post with the pics on what to do is especially helpful. Can't wait to give them a try at home. Thanks!
