#project2021 “Working on my setbacks” Won’t make it to a big box gym today while away from my functional training studio. Warm Up: 1 minute: Freestyle Jump (use any technique you know to prepare your body for the workout to come) Flexibility Routine: I chose 4-5 flexibility exercises that target primary areas focused on in this workout. (Quads, Calves, Shoulders etc) REPEAT warm up and flexibility routine as many times as you need before beginning the workout. Keep in mind if you need more than 3 rounds of the warm up, you may want to use the warm up as your workout. Nothing wrong with having something to work up to! Workout: 100 revolutions: Jump Rope (regular bounce) 15 push ups 100 revolutions: Jump Rope (running bounce) 20 Air Squats 100 revolutions: Jump Rope (alternate single leg bounce) 25 sit ups 100 revolutions: Jump Rope (alternate staggered foot bounce ) 30 jumping jacks Adjust workout according to your fitness level: increase/decrease reps on bodyweight exercise or revolutions on jump rope from 100 to 50 or 100 to 150 revs. #happynewyear #justmove #bextrafitt #crossrope #crossropejumpropes (at Three Ridges Wilderness) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJeLvxgB1VS/?igshid=1cg7k27mt9rf9

Now that most people don’t have gym access and the sporting good isles look like the paper product isle in the super market I hope you’ve finally dusted off your jump rope because it’s WEEK 2! (Xtras App used to keep jump rope time) RECAP! Goals: 1. Build from your jump rope capacity to 400 revolutions or 4 minutes of non stop jumping per set. 2. Learn a variety of jump rope techniques. 3. Further increase Jump Rope Endurance to 10 minutes continuous jumping. 4. Maintain an avg RPM above your testing values. (Perform three, 1 minute intervals of jump rope, counting the revolutions per 1 minute set. Write your numbers down. When all three sets are completed add the total and divide it by 3.) Duration of Program: 4-5 weeks, 5 sessions/week, 5-10 minutes per session. NOTE: Time should be increased after 2 weeks from 5 minutes and 10 minutes should be reached by beginning of week 4. WEEK 1 -Progress from 400 jumps in 1 set to 4 minutes of continuous jumping using bounce steps and/or alternate foot steps. WEEK 2 Continue building from 4 to 10 minutes of jumping while incorporating the basic bounce and alternate footsteps, but expand your jump rope training regimen to include different techniques (I.e. high step, one foot, straddle, etc) WEEK 3 Continue building from 5 to 10 minutes of jumping while incorporating the basic bounce and alternate footsteps, but expand your jump rope training regimen to include the high step, forward straddle, side straddle and bell jump. Establish a goal of 300 continuous jumps. Maintain your commitment to jump for 5 to 10 minutes per session using the two basic techniques, basic bounce and alternate footsteps, while gradually adding the new technique. Rest no more than 30 seconds between sets of consecutive jumps. Taking extended recovery time reduces the training benefit. . . . #quarantineworkout #quarintinecardio #socialdistancing #jumpropetraining #athomecardio #xtrafitt #xtrasfitnessandwellness #beginnerjumprope #advancedbeginner #intermediatelevel https://www.instagram.com/p/B-IimUxB0u-/?igshid=1d0crftku73qt

Flashback to vacation 4 weeks ago in @visit_costaricaes Led my friends in a core and body flow routine in preparation for our surf lesson in #tamarindocostarica And that view! 😍 @inspirato (at El Coco, Guanacaste, Costa Rica) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3wkw5Eh3Wf/?igshid=19aq8qw91vq9q

Took a field trip to @planetfitness today. As much as I give @planetfitness a hard time for their business model (inbox for deets, it’s almost my bedtime) I discovered something neat about their product. They provide a QR code on all their machines that are links to machine demos. They don’t explain how to set the machines up for your body BUT they do @youtube demos of how one would use the machine in question. Pretty cool I thought, especially when you see people using them. It’s obviously serving its purpose. My clients sometimes use PF to supplement their training. On another note.... Finished off chest day with some superband pushups and a cable front press.
