Welcome to Free Fitness Gym,
Today we have a fitness workout that will target many muscle groups including legs, bums, tums and chest. You may find this workout hard going or relatively easy depending on your current fitness level. So remember to go at a pace that is comfortable for you but will still leave you feeling suitably worked.
We have included Alternate Lunges in this workout, and these will target your leg muscles. It is important with this exercise to try and recruit your Glute muscles which are your bottom muscles. Your Glutes are the power house muscle of the lower body and are a huge muscle. Try to squeeze the Glute of the leg you are lunging forward on and squeeze this muscle as you return to the standing position. A full explanation is given in today's fitness video.
Weighted obliques are also included in this workout and can be done with any weight you have lying around the house. People typically work the main stomach muscles in their workout routines and often neglect their side stomach muscles. Weighted oblique exercises will force the main core to work as well as the obliques. Try to maintain a straight back throughout the exercise. The more of these you do the better your core stability will become, and the less you will wobble around.
'Butt Buster and Dorsal Raise' is a fantastic exercise because it works your posterior chain of muscles which is the chain of muscles running up the back of your body. It is very common for people to focus on the muscles at the front of their body like stomachs, chest, quads etc and the posterior muscles are often neglected. If the posterior chain is neglected for too long this can create an in balance in the muscle groups which in turn leads to the body working out of sink. Work hard on this exercise and make sure you squeeze the Glutes or bottom muscles as you raise your legs up off the ground, and raise your head and arms up to a range that you feel comfortable with. A full explanation is given in today's video.
'Mountain Climbers to Press Ups' have been included in today's workout to get your heart rate up and to work your cardiovascular system. This is great for the health of your heart. And the press up phase of the exercise will work multiple muscle groups at the same time to really help strengthen your upper body. Press up work will not give you big muscles, instead it will tone and strengthen muscle groups up and give you a nice athletic toned appearance plus help with bingo wings...That is if you stick with them and include them in your workouts. Press up work will always be a part of our workouts.
Workout Breakdown:
Set interval timers to 50 seconds work, 10 seconds rest
-Alternate Forward Lunge
-Weighted Obliques
-Butt Buster and Dorsal Raise
-10 Mountain Climber + 2 Press Ups
Do all 4 exercises 3 times over
If you feel you have more energy then try and complete another set of all 4 exercises at the end of your workout. And if you have loads of energy left then choose another workout to do after this one. Helen does 2 workouts back to back with a short water stop for all of her training.
We hope you enjoy.
