Workout of the Day: Build Your Endurance While the Kettle Boils

Get ready to fulfill your promise: to finally start playing sports. Turn on the kettle, free up some space and start a timer on your phone. The training is carried out according to the tabata protocol. You do the first exercise for 20 seconds, then take a breath for 10 seconds and begin the next movement on the list.

When you finish the fourth exercise, start over and do another circle. Do as intense as possible and keep in mind that this will only last 4 minutes. This thought will help you keep pace.

Air squats

Place your feet shoulder-width apart, slightly turn the toes of the feet to the sides. Squat below the parallel of your hips to the floor, keep your back straight and keep your heels on the floor. You can clasp your hands in front of you or put on your belt.

Knee touching the elbow

Stand in support lying, check that the hands are under the shoulders, tighten the abs and buttocks. Bend the knee and touch the elbow of the same name, return to the starting position and repeat on the other leg. Alternate knees, do not relax your abs until the end of the exercise.

Woodcutter

Place your feet slightly wider than your shoulders. Turn the body to the right, lift the left heel off the floor and stretch with straight arms into the space above the right shoulder, as if you are swinging with an ax.

Powerfully and sharply move your straight arms to the left knee, while squatting and turning the body to the left. Imagine that you need to cut a tree diagonally.

Repeat this movement for the entire 20 seconds. In the next circle, do it the other way: start with a swing over the left shoulder, and then lower your hands to your right knee.

Crunches with a touch of the knee to the elbow

Lie on your back on the floor with your hands behind your head. Raise your torso, bend your left leg, and touch your right elbow to your left knee. Lie back on the floor and next time touch your right knee with your left elbow. Alternate sides and don't rest on the floor. You need to give your best in just 20 seconds, so do the exercise vigorously.

The kettle boiled, and you recharged yourself with vigor, toned your body muscles and pumped your heart and lungs a little. Congratulations, you are now playing sports! The main thing is not to stop.

And don't miss tomorrow's workout, I promise it will be interesting.
