 Trainer Tips

  • Always WARM UP first and foam roll if possible *Goal is to increase heart rate, warm up the body and muscles and reduce the risk of injury
  • Always listen to your body, complete full range of motion
  • Never work through pain, progression is the goal
  • Don’t sacrifice form for speed
  • Cool Down: 5-10 min – Always stretch and foam roll, gentle tension no pain
  • Schedule your workouts as an appointment in your calendar
  • Rest days are important and stretching is a MUST

Move #1:  Sangria Skipping

Get a rope and jump!  Progression double unders.  Option to mimic skipping by having your hands to your side and skip.

Move #2: Piñata Smashes

Knee drivers.  Bring arms over head and imagine you are smashing a Piñata stick over your knees.  15 seconds per side.  Using your ABs and total body.

Move #3: Cerveza Skaters

Side skaters.  Reach out in front, and move side to side, stepping with your back foot behind the front. Keep a steady pace.

Move #4: Loco Lunges

Alternating front lunges.  Front knee does not go over the front toe and there is a 90 degree bend for the front and back knee.  Chest up, shoulders back and down, add your arms for a bicep workout.  Progression is to add a hop to the transition.
