Happy Sunday and welcome back to Workout of the Week! This is my weekly class for paid subscribers, in video and written/gif format, that you can customize to fit the amount of time and energy you have, and it’s totally OK to skip the warmup or cooldown, or only do one or two rounds of the strength circuit.
It’s awesome if you can return to this workout once or twice more during the week, but if you only get to it once, that’s great too. My goal is to give you something doable but challenging to help you get a little stronger, build some movement “fluency” (aka getting more comfortable and self-directed with common exercises), and have another tool in your toolbox to help you build or rebuild a sustainable movement practice that supports you.
You also have the option to stick with this same workout consistently over the next few weeks, maybe adding a little weight (or increasing your hold time for static exercises like the Bear plank) as you go. This kind of structure is a great way to work toward increased muscle mass and bone density. I have more strength training thoughts and options to come in the future, but this is a nice option for now!
This week, you’ll want a single heavy dumbbell, and possibly something you can hang onto for balance support during lunges — a broom, a stool or chair, even a wall, or a PVC pipe if you have one handy. Mat and water also highly encouraged.
Let’s go!
