WORKOUTS ROUTINES

• Dumbbell deadlifts (25 REPS)

  Stand in an upright position while holding dumbbells at your sides. Lower the dumbbells down toward the floor by first sitting your hips back, then bend your knees and torso until you reach the floor or just slightly above. Keep your back flat and your head in a neutral position throughout the movement. Make sure you keep the dumbbells near your sides. Don’t let them swing out in front of your body. This is a great exercise for developing your legs and back. 

• PUSH UPS (NO LIMIT)

 Lie chest-down with your hands at shoulder level, palms flat on the floor, slightly more than shoulder-width apart, with your feet together and parallel to each other. Look forward rather than down at the floor. The first contact you make with the floor with any part of the face should be your chin, not your nose. Keep your legs straight and your toes tucked under your feet. Straighten your arms as you push your body up off the floor.

• Pull ups (25 REPS)

Firstly, pull-ups are usually done using the pronated (overhand) grip, meaning that the palms of your hands point away from you, with your thumbs pointing toward each other. With this in mind, stand under the pull-up bar, grasp it and relax  your shoulders. Keep your arms straight and simply hang off the bar while keeping your body vertical, trying not to rock back and forth.

• Jump rope (1-2 MINS)

This exercise will keep your heart rate up in between the circuit resistance training and add even more of a cardiovascular benefit.

Begin by grasping handles in your hands and relaxing the middle of the rope at your ankles with both hands at your sides. Swing the rope over your head in a forward motion, keep your feet together and jump over the rope. Increase your speed as you feel more comfortable.

• Dumbbell clean and press (25 REPS)

Stand in an upright position while holding dumbbells at your sides. Lower the dumbbells down toward the floor by first sitting your hips back, then bending your knees and torso until your reach the floor or just slightly above. Keep your back flat and your head in a neutral position throughout the movement. Make sure you keep the dumbbells near your sides. Don’t let them swing out in front of your body.

 

• Burpees(25 REPS)

Start in a squat position with your hands on the floor in front of you. When ready, kick your feet back to a push-up position. Immediately return your feet to the squat position. Leap up as high as possible from the squat position. You should repeat this procedure moving as quickly as possible while keeping good form.
