HAHPN - September 2010 #3

As promised, below is the five-exercise home exercise workout:

[Just 5]
1) Jumping Jacks - 20 repetitions

2) Split Stance Squats - Hands behind head/arms crossed is easier - 10 repetitions each side

3) Lateral Push-up Walk (Do not have enough space then try: Assume the same start position. Laterally push-up walk to the right 1x. Do a push-up. Laterally push-up walk to the left. Do a push-up. Repeat for 30 seconds/Just short of fatigue/8x each side.)
Perform exercises #1, #2, and #3, consecutively with zero to 5 seconds rest in between. Rest for 30 seconds to 1 minute between sets. Now, perform the second set. You can perform a 3rd set if you are up to it.

After you finish your last set, proceed to exercises #4 and #5. Follow the same sequence as in exercise #1 -#3.

4) Front Plank (advanced = raise one leg and alternate) - hold position for 30 seconds or alternate legs for 20 total reps.

5) Side Plank (advanced = T-Plank) - hold position for 20 seconds.

To increase the fun do these outdoors.
To increase your popularity have your kids/spouse/girlfriend/boyfriend do it too.

  1. That front plank hold done on the sidewalk has got to be a killer on the elbows and forearms!
