Getting movement in EACH day is essential for optimal health. 

Busy schedules are not a problem if you use the Energy Burst Mind Set Daily.

It is great when you can go on a walk, or ride or get to the class or gym. 

BUT, if you can't, just use this mind set skill instead of talking yourself out of moving.

Imagine....you work 8 hours. If you took just 5 minutes each hour to get movement, that is 40 minutes. 

And, YES it counts. It is accumulative and can actually have even more of a powerful effect than longer bouts. 

Your brain and body get an influx of blood, oxygen and positive brain hormones. This can make you even more productive.

The Energy Burst Mind Set takes away excuses!

I love this workout because it works everything, especially the arms!

The slow flowy movement and complete muscle recruitment makes it the perfect way to get ripped, get your cardio and work core all at the same time!

Note: if you can't keep your arms straight during the long lever moves, the weight is too heavy. 

Note: going slow recruits more muscles. It will feel hard and weird if you are not used to this technique. Stay with it....you will get in better shape!

Slow mo form shows alignment and the foot change.

I go back and forth between a squat and a plie every 10 reps.

Work up to doing 40 reps over time. Begin with 8-10 if you are new to KB training.

Begin with very light weight and work up the ladder of weight options.

Notice the depth of the squat and plie.

Notice the full extension of the spine as I come up. This is key to work full range of motion of the back extensors and hips.

The arms swing because of the punch created from the legs. You are NOT trying to lift them.

As you come up from the squat / plie, your belly button pulls in, your butt cheeks and quads squeeze tight. NO BACK ARCHING!

Your eyes should be spotting up. Sternum bone lifted. 

Stop if you are unsure or feeling pain. 

DM with questions.

When you hike or walk, think about adding some strength training to your outing. 

See a bench or a big rock? Do some pushups or dips.

Pick up some rocks and do some lifting.

This is a great way to spruce up your hike or walk, and get strength into your day without needing to go anywhere else!

A great way to be consistent too!

This is a wonderful way to wake up, get warmed up or take a break from being at your computer during the day!
