A workout with the most adorable exercise name you've ever heard

Accessory work and some delicious stretches to kick off your week

Happy Sunday! Welcome back to Workout of the Week.

Last week, we kicked off How to Move’s first-ever 4-week strength training program. ICYMI, it’s here!

Even if you’re doing the program as directed, you can still work in the other WOWs if you have time and energy for it. And maybe you just did that strength training workout as a one-off and you’re ready for something new this week — great either way. The theme of today’s workout is loosely accessory work — though we are doing one bigger lift today, the main idea is to give some attention to some slightly smaller movements and perhaps lesser-used muscles that deserve love, too (calves, biceps, obliques, that kind of thing).

As a reminder, you can do this whole video, or if you have less time or energy than that, you can trim things down by:

  • Skipping the warmup

  • Skipping the cooldown

  • Skipping one or two of the three rounds of the resistance-training circuit

Make it work for you. If you’d like to repeat this workout a time or two throughout the week, great.

This week, grab a variety of weights so you have options, a mat, and some water.

And a note that if you’re dying to know about the adorable exercise name referenced in the subject line here, I’m sorry to report that I only thought of it after I filmed this workout, so you’ll find it in the written version below. Clickbait, OMG. Shameful.

Here we go!
