October 3 Workout Inside!
Hi Everyone!
Happy Thursday! I hope today is full of all of your favorite things. Today’s workout is one of my absolute favorite, go-to 10 minute workouts.
Yesterday’s workout was really pushing the time limit (and might have also been pushing it on your body’s limit!), so rest assured that this one is quick and dirty. And I love it, so you should, too 😀
Without further delay…
Day 3 Workout
Time: 10 minutes
This is untimed, so you could really take as long as you want, but it usually takes me about 10 minutes. If you wanted to have a heavy lift day, that would be an option here, too. Adjust reps as desired for your personal goals, the reps here are with a light-to-medium weight (or bodyweight).
Superset (complete 1 set of A1, 1 A2, 1A3 for 1 round, do 3 full rounds)
A1, Squat (x 10)

If you’re using weight, start light or bodyweight with the first set since we’re skipping the warm-up. The first round will really be your warm-up (and that means you can do 4 total rounds if that works for your timing - and if not, this is totally enough to be effective).
A2, Pushup (x 10)

Adjust the reps as needed for effectiveness. We want to keep form but the last 1 or 2 should be challenging. And, there’s no shame in knee push-ups if that makes your form better. No one is judging you but you.

A3, Deadbug (x 10 each side/x 20 total)

My favorite way to do these is with a sandbag, which most of you probably don’t have, but you could have a light dumbell or kettlebell in each hand to increase weight if needed. Slowing down always makes this more challenging, too.
Have fun! This is truly one of my favs ❤️
With love and strength,
