Today I wanted to do a little Throwback Thursday post and I also wanted to share a great in-home cardio exercise – THE BURPEE!
Burpees are a super tough bodyweight cardio exercise. They are not for everyone so make sure to modify as needed.
HOWEVER, if burpees are right for you, they can be a great at-home cardio exercise because they require very little space and really get your heart rate up and the sweat flowing.
The inverted row is a great functional bodyweight exercise to strengthen your back and core. It is also a great move to help progress you to a full pull up or even increase your pull up strength.
The inverted row is an essential exercise for anyone with a desk job as it can help correct poor posture and alleviate and prevent common injuries, aches and pains caused by sitting hunched over a computer screen all day.
No matter your fitness level, you need to do the inverted row if you want a strong, sexy back and less neck and shoulder pain!
Isometric workouts are great for recovery and to prevent (or even rehab) injuries. They are also great to improve your balance, coordination and mind-body connection.
Runner’s need to do them. Cyclist need to do them. Lifters, people with a desk job, athletes and older adults ALL NEED TO DO THEM.
And the best part is, Isometric Workouts don’t require any warm up. Shoot…Isometric exercises can even be a great warm up for a strength workout!
Below is a quick 20-minute Full-Body Isometric Workout.
The workout below will help activate your glutes, strengthen your core, improve your posture, reduce your neck, shoulder, low back and hip pain and strengthen your upper body.
Bodyweight exercises need to be included in every workout routine. And while we all know this, we often only include bodyweight moves like the single leg squat, push up and pull up.
But there are a ton of other bodyweight exercises that we need to include in our routines.
Below are some more “untraditional” exercises that need to be included in your workout program.
