NEW WORKOUT IDEA

#FITfriday 

I shared a new workout idea with our #F619sweatCLUB this morning, and maybe you’ve tried something similar before! (Read to the end to see it!)

It’s called a #TRIGGERworkout or #Intermittentworkout!

And I believe it’s a great way to increase your overall DAILY activity if you’re having a difficult time with a consistent workout time during quarantine because of 
- caring for loved ones
- extra work hours 
- no equipment 
- motivation 
And so on!!

​*****

Here’s how it works:
1. Choose a TRIGGER-
something that will prompt you to take action. It can be a timer (every 2-3 hrs), 
an object (something placed in a room you walk through often),
or something that happens frequently (like your kids asking you for snacks 😉)! 

2. Choose an exercise/movement that works large muscle groups and is safe to do without a warmup. (Bodyweight squats, pushups, crunches, jumping jacks etc.)

3. Choose reps/sets/time to complete.
It shouldn’t be a exhausting, just enough to get your heart rate up and feel a "burn."
Ideally 5x reps of 3-4 exercises.
Or maybe a certain exercise or series of exercises for time (3-5 minutes). 

4. CHOOSE to MOVE!
Everytime you see/hear your trigger, CHOOSE TO MOVE! The goal is to find ways to increase your activity, which overall is healthier than working out for 1 hour and being sedentary for the rest of the day!

Here is what I shared with the workout group:

INTERVAL 1-
5 pushups 
5 sit ups 
5 jumping jacks 

INTERVAL 2-
10 plie squats 
10 tricep dips 
10 bicycle crunches 
INT
INTERVAL 3-
15 reverse crunches 
15 toe touches 
15 superman lat pulldowns

IF YOU TRY IT, please let me know your thoughts! Or tag us @foundations619 on social media!
