25 minute beginner total body workout

Classic Beginner Workout 

"All progress takes place outside the comfort zone."

So, how's quarantine treating you all? It's hard and I understand. You want to do some physical activity but can't get out of your house. Don't worry any longer! 

In today's blog post, I would like to share a beginner's workout regime. But if you're looking for a hard-core workout, here's the link to my 45 minute Core Burn Workout challenge - Total Core "Burn" Workout.

Today's workout is total body workout which I would recommend for beginners in Crossfit. 

So without further ado, let's begin right away!

• Warm up : This is an important aspect which one cannot leave before starting any kinds of exercise. A proper warm up reduces the risk of injury. It helps to increase the temperature of your muscles. A proper warm up includes -

1. Static stretching : Do some standing stretches in place to open up your muscles.
2. Jumping or skipping : Skipping is a great way to increase your heart rate. But if you don't have a skipping rope, no problem. Jumping in place is good enough.
3. Dynamic exercises : These exercises include butt kicks, high knees, lunges etc. These exercises are a great way to pump your heart rate.

• Schedule (each exercise lasts for 30 seconds)

1. Mountain climbers (30 seconds)
2. Rest for 5 seconds
3. Hand walk (30 seconds)
4. Rest for 5 seconds 
5. Half burpees (30 seconds)
6. Rest for 5 seconds 
7. Plank (30 seconds)
8. Rest for 5 seconds 
9. Hip bridges (30 seconds)

       (Repeat the circuit 3 times).

• Cool down : Cool down is as important as warming up. Cool down allows the heart rate to come to it's resting rate. 

• What should a proper cool down include?

Ans : A proper cool down includes 2-3 minutes of deep breathing and 5-7 minutes of stretching your target muscles. Each cool down exercise should last for 20 - 30 seconds at the maximum.

•  Below I've added videos that teach how to do each of the exercises.
