Follow along workout #4

Disregard all my blabbering about the time of year. I know it’s not really November. These originally were shared last November and December so a lot of the videos make reference to Thanksgiving or December. I am not losing it, I promise.

There are only four exercises but this FAF will work your entire body. What does today look like? Check it out.

If you have never had the privilege of trying the goblet squat/lunge, you are in for a treat. You perform one squat and one lunge of each leg. This equals one rep.

If you do not have a kettlebell (KB) for the pushup with KB tap, you can use a dumbbell or anything else you have handy to tap. The total number of pushups will have to be an even number to make the taps equal on both sides.

Brace the body hard when performing the tap to minimize shifting and twisting while tapping. Perform incline pushups (https://youtu.be/Kxer4SgjxIE) or just hold the pushup position (https://youtu.be/_xwOXU3ocd0) if pushups on the floor are not your thing.

Remember, RDLs are a hamstring exercise. You should not feel them in your low back. If you are not comfortable with these, try either hamstring curls on a ball (https://youtu.be/3BqvjHGSsaQ) or some slider hamstring curls (https://youtu.be/QSN8MYpr6jY).

The same goes for the ball plank rollouts. Do not rush these. Most people make the arm motion sloppy and too quick. Think smooth out and smooth in.

Enjoy the experience.

With the ever-evolving virus situation, focus on the things that you can control. Keeping up your exercise is key. Even if you are not currently exercising, why not start now?

Eat well, drink enough water and get good sleep are some of the best ways to help you in the event you get a turn with the virus.

Until next time,

Dr. Tom
