So today was my first day of my 2 week training plan:
This video consisted of 15 different exercises which I did for 45seconds with as much force and power as I could and then I would rest for 15 minutes. This way of training is great for fat burning.
The 15 exercises were:
- Windmill
- Squat Punch
- Slow Crunch
- Ballet Half Kick
- Inch Worm
- Legs Only Ab Bike
- High Plank to Down Dog
- Front Lunge
- Plank
- Standing Ab Bike
- Leg Drop
- Arm and Leg Raise
- Walking Burpees
- Legs Flutter
- Shoulder Tap and Thigh Tap
These exercises seemed pretty easy to begin with but I definitely felt the effects of it after a short while. My heart was beating faster and I was sweating. I think the most challenging exercises were the plank, standing ab bike and ballet half kicks. First of all, the plank really tested my core strength and it was very hard to hold it whilst engaging my core and not letting my back drop for 45 seconds but I pushed through and managed it. The standing ab bike wasn't hard in a strength way but more because it left me feeling out of breath. Finally, I found the ballet half kicks difficult due to my lack of flexibility. The exercises I found the most effective were the front lunge and the high plank to down dog. I felt the front lunge really burn my hamstrings but I didn't warm up before so they ended up cramping. I made sure that I stretched afterwards to relax my muscles as much as possible. I really liked the high plank to down dog as I felt it really work my deltoids and traps as well as my abdominals and laterals. Next time I think I would warm up before to avoid my legs cramping and also get more sleep and drink more water to have the most effective workout.
