Join us for about 15 minutes of energizing movement. Low impact cardio for all levels.

During the movement, we talk about the importance of good posture and cardiovascular health, the best time of the day to exercise and strategies to fit it into your day. We also discuss the importance of hydration and drinking water as I share my journey of going from a highly sugared soda to drinking only water.

We further explore the benefit of maintaining a positive mind-set and the importance of a compelling vision of the fitness level you idealize. We discuss the idea of realizing that you can do it.

Finally, we teach the talk test method of discovering your heart rate zone and the proper amount of cool-down that you need following a cardiovascular session.

We move into dumbbell rows and abdominal exercises. We continue with shoulder presses and then work our biceps with an optional challenge of balancing on one leg while we perform the dumbbell curls. Lastly, we perform dumbbell shrugs for our trapezium and levator scapulae muscles to round out this great upper body routine before ending with a nice stretch.

All Levels can do this body weight lower body focused workout. We start with a great cardiovascular warm-up for about four minutes to prepare the body for exercise.

Donkey kicks and bridges are taught as well as abdominal exercises that can be performed on the floor with a simple mat / towel for support. We strengthen our core, lower back and glutes with bird-dog exercises, teaching several levels of the exercise. Finally we end with a stretch.

We add bird-dogs, hydrants, and scissors, teaching various levels of the exercises to make it appropriately challenging for you whatever level you may be at. Abdominal exercises are intermixed with the lower body exercises on the floor to make this a great well-rounded routine to learn.
