All bout PHASE 1 workout 2

Phase 1 Workout 2:

Remember, you do each circuit TWO times and the cardio portion once.

“Workout 2 (weights, resistance cable) Continue building your foundation with classic back of body moves that work your back, biceps, gluts, hamstrings, and core using your weights, a resistance cable, and your own body weight. Like workout 1, strength, balance, and stability are the goal as you burn mega calories!”-Jillian Michaels

Warmup:

Skaters (touch steps, low impact)

Hugs (wide arms and giving yourself a huge hug)

Tap Stretches (bending down and touching toes with opposite hands)

Circuit 1:

Tables (yoga pose)

Pelvic Thrust

Superman

Cardio: Alternating knee thrusts

Comments: I am not very good with the “tables”!! Again, yoga is a challenge for me!

Circuit 2:

Static lunges w/ torso rotation

Wide dumbbell rows

Bicep drags

Cardio: Side to side kick backs

Comments: Static lunges with a torso rotation is hard. You can feel the crunch of your obliques if you are doing them right.

Circuit 3:

Donkey kicks

Crunches

Bicep Drags

Cardio: Knee highs

Comments: The donkey kicks are a basic move, but Jillian DEMANDS that you “squeeze your butt!”. If you squeeze your butt, it really hurts. You can really feel it!!

Circuit 4:

Medium cable rows (use resistance bands)

“Good Mornings” (yoga pose)

Hammer curls

Step ups (with weights)

Cardio: Upper Cuts

Comments: Step ups hurt!! Crunching your abs with weights..Also very aerobic!

Closing: Weeks 1-2 are low impact and constant movement to stay in motion. Jillian says to work on perfect form and balance for now. Prevent injury and get focused!!
