This time of year, especially this year, is all about schedule, space, and making the most out of what you have when it comes to training and exercise at home or traveling.
But getting stronger…moving and feeling better is all about CONSISTENCY. So, do what you can with what you have. That’s why I put together this, “NO EQUIPMENT Required” training session that you can perform anywhere, anytime…with just your body weight.
Just choose a movement based on your body type and needs. Remember both bodies are completely NORMAL... We just need different things when it comes to selecting the best exercises for our build:
🤸 Loosey-Goosey: Joints are just SUPER LOOSE
🏋️ Super Tight: Just feel STIFF all over Once you know your body type, now BREATHE like this:
🤸 Sighing exhale (you’re fogging a glass)
🏋️ Pursed Lip exhale (you’re blowing out birthday candles) Mike! So, where do I start?” Glad you asked:)
Start here:
Practice INHALING:
- Find the MOST COMFORTABLE position based on your “body type”:
- Top Photo (Loosey-Goosey folks) - Bottom Photo (Super-Tight folks) - NASAL ONLY breathing! (MOUTH CLOSED!) - LONG EXAGGERATED SILENT INHALE (NO NECK!)…then normal exhale out - Pause (Breath normally). Wait for the next inhale to come. Repeat. - 4-6 breaths
Here’s what you’re gonna need: -Comfortable/Clear space -Timer
Here’s what you’re gonna do: - Choose the movements based on your BODY TYPE
- Complete all the reps for all the moves for as many rounds as possible - REST as and when necessary (Breathe ANYWAY you want!)
-20 minute running clock…GO!
Of course, if something doesn’t feel right…STOP! 🛑
