The Breakfast Club

AO: The Woodshed

Q: The Force

PAX: Captain Camo, Green Thumb, Dough Girl, Warrior 

The Thang: We started with warm-up yoga, starting with cat/cow (bidalasana/cakravakasana). From there, we moved into thread-the-needle (cakravakasana parivrtti), then child's pose (balasana). We went to standing and did a wide leg standing forward pose (prasarita padottanasana) into triangle pose (trikonanasana) and ended with a simple forward bend (uttanasana). 

Since it was a rainy morning, the workout was changed slightly from running breaks to plank breaks. The main workout consisted of 3 sets of 5 exercise tabatas-45 seconds work, 15 second rest-with 1 minute plank 'breaks' in between. We started with a 1-minute reverse plank then into set 1:

  • shoulder taps
  • jumping jacks
  • side-to-side planks
  • plie squats to calf raises
  • spidermans

1-minute right side plank, then into set 2:

  • mountain climbers
  • V-ups (fancy sit-ups)
  • lunges
  • bicep curls
  • speed skaters

1-minute left side plank, then into set 3:

  • table toe taps, right side
  • table toe taps, left side (thanks Dough Girl for keeping me straight!)
  • Russian twists, weights optional
  • press backs, weights optional
  • jump rope

1-minute regular plank

We finished the workout with Arm-egeddon and then a yoga cool down. We started in child's pose (balasana), into down dog with hip circles (adho mukha svansasana). Then, from down dog we moved into pigeon pose (eka pada rajakapotanasana) on each side. Then sphinx pose (bhujangasana) and ended with child's pose. Thanks for sticking it out with me on this cold, rainy morning ladies!
