Workout #1

Hi everyone!  We are proud to give you our very first at home fitness video.  We have been working very hard learning how to create and edit videos, something neither of us have any real experience with.  And while there is still a lot of room for improvement, we decided that it was really important to us for you to have these workouts and just be part of our learning process.  So PLEASE leave us comment and feedback, positive and negative.  We will continue to learn and improve, and our goal is to soon be providing you with 2-3 home workouts a week.  We want to show you that you don't need a gym to workout.  These workouts are designed to be short, between 15-30 minutes total, but intense and to the point.  If you always push your hardest, the reward is that much sweeter.  The videos begin with us breaking down how to do the exercises with correct form and giving modifications for exercises that may be too high intensity for a beginner.  Then, you get to see us in action!  That's right, we're working out right along with you!  So no excuses, let's do these workouts together and start kicking up our fitness and improving our health.  And what better time than now--summer is on it's way, so let's get in shape now so we can proudly hit the beach this summer know that we've all worked hard together.  Enjoy!!

Here's the workout breakdown:

Part 1: High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)

Set an interval timer for 6 rounds, 1st interval (rest) at 10 seconds, 2nd interval (WORK HARD!) at 30 seconds

Alternate between these two exercises for the whole 6 rounds, you'll do each one 3 times.
-10 high knee raises + tuck jump, repeating as FAST as possible for the 30 seconds
-alternating reverse lunges with front kicks

Part 2: Core Work (We need to all make sure we include core work in our workouts, a strong, stable core is what holds the body together and keeps us from injuring ourselves)

2 sets of 12 reps of each exercise
-plank hops out and in
-inchworm

Part 3: HIIT

Again, set the interval timer for 6 rounds, 10 sec rest interval, 30 sec work interval. Alternate between these two exercises:
-squat jumps
-mountain climbers

Remember that it's always important to do a 5-10minute warm-up before starting your workouts, as well as a solid stretching sequence afterward.  We will be shooting a warm-up and cool-down video in the near future so you can see what we do and recommend.  Also, while the HIIT does not take much time, remember that you are supposed to be pushing to your max.  Always work hard--the pride you get from honest hard work is priceless :)
