Here's a recap on the workout... IT WAS A SOLD OUT CLASS!!! Coastal Sol provided detox drinks and every participant recieved a goodie bag from us! No equipment was required, just everyone's smiling faces and their yoga mat. We taught a power yoga circuit class, and started bright and early at 9 in the morning. It was approximately 30 minutes long. The workout included 6 exercises for 4 rounds. Each exercise was 45 seconds long, with a 15 second rest in between. There was a full minute and half rest between each round.
Exercise 1: Burpees (45 seconds)
Modifcation - "Sun Salutations" instead of jumping up, then walk out your feet when in the plank position
Rest 15 seconds
Exercise 2: Single Leg Backwards Lunge (45 seconds)
Tips: Pick a leg to start, and keep the knee slightly bent. Lean your shoulders and upper back slightly forward to target more of your hamstrings and glutes. Lunge with the same leg for 45 seconds. As soon as the leg lunging meets the foot that is static, lunge the leg backwards and keep the movement continuous. Lunge the leg farther behind you to get more of a stretching feeling and targeting those glutes.
Rest 15 seconds
Exercise 3: Single Leg Backwards Lung (opposite leg) / (45 seconds)
Rest 15 seconds
Exercise 4: Pulse Squats (45 seconds)
Tip: Keep your feet about should width apart. When pulsing, your thighs should be parallel to the ground. We pulsed 3 times, and then extended into a stand and repeated for the full 45 seconds.
Rest 15 seconds
Exercise 5: Plank with arm raises (45 seconds)
Tip: Stay in a plank position and keep your back as straight as possible. Keep your core tight. Take one arm, and reach under your abdomen towards your opposite arm. Pull your arm away, and towards the original position. Turn and extend it towards the sky. Bring your arm back to the ground for a plank position, and alternate arms with the same motion.
Rest 15 seconds
Exercise 6: Bicycles (45 seconds)
Tip: Keep your core engaged, and position like doing a regular crunch. Bring your opposite knee to your opposite, and turn your torso to engage your abs more. Alternate continuosly for 45 seconds.
Rest 15 seconds
Rest for 60 seconds, and an additional 15 seconds to prepare for the begininng of this circuit. COMPLETE 4 ROUNDS!!
THANK YOU COASTAL SOL AND THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO CAME OUT TO WORKOUT AND SUPPORT!!!
