Hope you are feeling fully recharged after your rest day, and are ready to tackle your next strength session in our 4-Week At-Home Workout Challenge! Today’s core circuit is also a full-body workout, but every move—inchworm, bird-dog crunch, and forward lunge—engages and strengthens your core muscles. Why is that important? A strong core stabilizes and […]
Squeezing in a quick warm-up doesn’t just mentally prepare you for the work to come, it will also help prime your muscles and reduce your chance for injury. Especially during strength training sessions, where your muscles are shortening and lengthening (or going through concentric and eccentric contractions), it’s important to increase blood flow during the […]

Which is odd, considering in real life we move in multiple […]

You may think that the only way to get your cardio in is through exercises such as running or indoor cycling, but that’s simply not true. Plyometric training, also known as jump or reactive training, can be just as effective. A killer combo of speed and strength, plyometrics involves quick and powerful movements that stretch […]

As you continue to work to build your aerobic capacity, we’re throwing yet another new move at you in today’s legs and cardio circuit: the crab toe touch.
