Yoga, Pilates, Bender Fitness Workout Fusion

Hi Everyone!

Today's workout is a 30 Minute Yoga/Pilates/Fitness Fusion. The video is below. It's been a tough week of workouts so far. If you are following the schedule below you can choose to take a full rest day, or an easy day (walking or gentle jogging). 

This workout style is great because it is challenging and it promotes both muscular strength and flexibility. This is a great full body workout that requires no equipment. 

Maintaining and improving flexibility and strength is important to injury prevention and muscular balance. People who are very flexible at times have difficulty holding positions like plank due to decreased strength in the muscles that support strong posture. People who focus only on strength often do so at the expense of flexibility and lost range of motion. 

Having a balance of both strength and flexibility will promote health and proper biomechanics, which will help you to maintain a healthy body. 

I love taking my workout outdoors. There is something rejuvenating about being surrounded by nature. 

This week's Workout Schedule: 

Day 1: Jump Rope Workout (Repeat 1-3X or Pair with Another Workout of Choice)
Day 2: 10 Minute Stability Ball Workout (Repeat 1-3X, Pair with Jump Rope Workout 1X, or video of Choice)
Day 3: 20 Minute HIIT Fat Burn (Repeat 1-3X)
Day 4: Rest, Yoga or Easy Day
Day 5: Jump Rope, Stability Ball & 20 Minute HIIT Fat Burn Workout (40 Minute Full Body Workout.)

I hope you enjoy today's workout!
