We finally got around to making the first game kids can play to get their exercise in.  Giant Tic Tac Toe.   

More video's to come after spring break.

Have fun kids!

It's the weekend!! Although everyday kind of seems like the weekend right now.  Over the weekends the Isolation challenge consists of:

• getting outside for a walk everyday
• 5 minutes of meditation daily
• 10 minutes daily of foam rolling, stretching and mobility work 

The rest of the weekend is your's to do whatever form of exercise you feel like doing: running, biking, or you can use one of the past workouts and repeat it.

Get up and move everyday.  Why?  Because you can!

Challenge Day:

1000 stairs.  You can do this outside or in your home.  Just practice safe social distancing if you are going outside.

Inside I would break it up.  I have 11 stairs so plan to do 10 rounds at a time.   You have all day to get it done.

Happy Stair day!!  

Being positive in a negative situation is not naive. It's leadership

Today's workout you will need a watch as it consists of 1 minute stations.  Complete each exercise for 1 minute and move directly to the next with no rest.  Once you have completed each exercise in the complex take a one minute rest and repeat the exercises two more times.  There are two complexes to complete.  Do all rounds of complex 1 before moving to complex 2.   

Complex 1:  Video Link
Front squats
Tricep up down with a push up (alternate sides)
1 leg glute press (switch legs after 30 seconds)
Body saw

Complex 2: Video Link
Get ups
Hollow Extension to tuck
V-Squeeze
Overhead split squat (switch legs after 30 seconds)
Side plank with hip drop and knee drive (switch sides after 30 seconds)

The video's have a few options for Tricep up downs, Hollow Extension with tuck, overhead split squat, and side plank.  Pick the version that challenges you the most!!

Challenge Day: Happy first day of Spring

• 500 skips (you can do these outside on your deck or side walk if your ceiling is too low).  If you do not have a skipping rope you can do jumping jacks.  You can break these up into 100s
• 4 sets of 5 pull ups:  these can be done on a TRX if you have one,  hanging pull ups from a bar outside or supine pull ups using a table at home.  See variations below.
• 20 minutes of running or walking outdoors or on your treadmill if you cannot go outside
• 5 minutes of stretching, foam rolling, or mobility work
• 5 minutes of meditation!!

I love seeing everyone's pictures and video's and even getting families involved.  Keep them coming and great job on Day 1!!

Here are two warm up video's and also great exercises to do on a daily basis to improve mobility.  During the warm up keep moving and do 10 per side (or more if it is feeling needed).  You can also use these movements at any time in the day but slow them down and hold positions for a few seconds.

Can't wait to see you crushing the workouts!!

Each day I will be posting either a new complete workout for the day or one small challenge that needs to be completed that day.     
To make things a little more interesting I thought I would add a little competition to see who is following along.  The person who completes the most workouts and daily challenges will win one free month of training!!
The rules:

• You must complete the entire workout including the number of reps, sets and exercises as described
• Daily challenges must be completed that day
• You must post on Instagram or Facebook and tag Inspiration Training a picture or video of yourself doing the workout or "challenge" activity daily.  
• Instagram - inspirationtrainingyyc
• Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/inspirationtraining/

You will need to check the blog daily to get the Youtube link for the workout and to see what the daily challenge may be.  Under each video there is a description that will include the number of reps and sets.  

Challenge starts March 17th!!
