JUST 5 MINUTES
  • How this challenge works!

    Let me know what you find most challenging when it comes to working out or showing up?

  • Core and inner thigh

    Today we have hovers, down dog to planks and inner thigh lifts on repeat!
    Sore wrists?? opt to hover on your elbows and no down dog.

  • DAY 2 - Upper body standing

    Simple bodyweight shoulders and back just using your arms.
    To make it harder add small weights or cans of food.

  • Side planks and frogs

    Today we have 2 exercises on repeat. Side planks and face down frogs for glutes!
    If frogs upset your lower back, opt for swimming or opposite arm leg lift.

  • DAY 4 - Cardio

    We have lots of hopping / jumping around on the spot to get the HR pumping.
    Great quick add on to any strength or pilates session.
    For no cardio please opt for a repeat of yesterday's video

  • Core and glutes

    Today we have some roll down variations, bridging and toe tap variations

  • Work your sides

    Everything today is side kneeling for obliques and side glutes!
    If kneeling is a no go - opt for side planks and side lying leg lifts

  • DAY 7 - Standing balance

    Single leg balance work today to improve your walks, hikes, runs!
    Even if you pick 1 exercise from this video and do it before a run 2x week you will improve your ankle, glute stability.

  • DAY 8 - Core and upper body

    Today we start with some downward dog to plank warm ups with hovers then into some bodyweight shoulders/back.
    To make it harder add small weights for the upper body.
    You can also repeat the core part multiple times or again at the end.

  • DAY 9 - Core and glutes

    We'll start with back stretches, followed by glute bridging and chest lifts on repeat!
    Great as a pre run or walk warm up.

  • DAY 10 - kneel / standing glutes and legs

    On repeat today we have kneeling butt kicks followed by kneel to stand lunges to get the glutes and legs stronger.
    Adding this in with some core/upper body will complete it as total body otherwise you could do 1 set before a walk or run to warm up.

  • DAY 11 - Core and posture

    We have a mix of spinal flows (rolling down dog to planks), push ups, breaststroke and supermans to get the core and postural muscles working today.

  • DAY 12 - Lying glutes

    A quick lower body of glute bridge variations, kneel butt kicks and alternating lunges
    Another great pre run, gym or walk warm up.

    Today onwards we move up to 10 minutes!
    Total body pilates quick flow, some strength and stretch including down dog to planks, cat cows, hovers, side kneel obliques, side kneel glutes, bird dogs and supermans.
    A perfect quick one if your not up for a long session or want to work everything befor...

    Grab your chi ball and small weights!
    We have unstable bridge variations with triceps and chest followed by bird dogs with triceps which is a bit of glutes, core and arms. On repeat.
