At-home workouts using bodyweight are a great option when you can't make it to the Y. We're sharing a few examples here and will share more in the coming days. If you have any questions, feel free to contact Angie Paxson, Health & Wellness Director at angie.paxson@ymca-ywca.org.
Here are 5 workouts to get you started:
1. “Tabata Whatever” (source: twobraincoaching.com)
Choose 5 home-friendly exercises. For each of the exercises, perform max reps for 8 consecutive Tabata intervals of 20 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of rest. Rest 1 minute between exercises.
Example:
Tabata Row - Rest 1 Minute
Tabata Squats - Rest 1 Minute
Tabata Pull-ups - Rest 1 Minute
Tabata Push-ups - Rest 1 Minute
Tabata Sit-ups
Tabata score is the least number of reps performed in any of the eight intervals. Unit for the row is “calories”. Post lowest Tabata score for each exercise and total for final score as Total Reps. E.G., 10, 20, 5, 10, 15 = 60
