Justin started his 365 photo challenge on flickr.com last week, and I’ve decided to challenge myself to make 12 workout videos in 4 weeks to give followers of my fitness blog a complete month of workouts that they can do in their own homes. If you start today, you’ll be a month ahead of schedule for your New Year’s fitness resolution.
I made my first “practice” video 5 days ago {you can watch it on my fitness diary entry for 12.01.09}, and that inspired me to continue to put my routines on my blog. You can expect new videos to be posted every Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday of each week for the next 4 weeks {this will give you a chance to preview the routine and then do it on the following Monday, Wednesday, and Friday}.
These routines are for the beginner/intermediate level and will compliment any cardio routine you already have in place.
You’ll need the following equipment to follow along with this routine:
- Medicine Ball
- dumbbells
- yoga mat or floor pad
- elevated surface like a coffee table or chair
- jump rope
For future routines, you may want to put aside the following equipment:
- Stability Ball
- dumbbells of varying weights
- medicine balls of varying weights
- Bosu Ball
When possible, I’ll show you how to use less or alternative equipment to complete the exercises on the video. I also suggest having different weights of dumbbells and medicine balls to accommodate your increased strength and ability, and to allow you to adjust weights for different types of exercises which you may find easier or more difficult depending on the weight.
WARNING: ALWAYS CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN BEFORE TRYING ANY NEW DIET OR EXERCISE PROGRAM. THIS VIDEO IS ONLY A DEMONSTRATION OF MY OWN WORKOUT THAT I PERFORM WITH MY CLIENTS IN A CONTROLLED SETTING. THIS WORKOUT ROUTINE MAY NOT BE SUITABLE FOR YOU.
