Given that we will not have practice on Monday, February 15, please do a daily home workout for ~ 45 minutes. If possible try to get together in groups for mutual support. One example workout is below … feel free to substitute exercises if you have favorites. Stick to the on/off/rest time and do vigorously to achieve some aerobic benefit as well. For those with smart phones there are lots of Tabata timer apps. Captains, please get the word out on this as well.
Warm-up – 2 minutes of Jumping Jacks
Stretch – 5 minutes of light stretching
Workout – Tabata (sets of paired exercises, done for 20 sec with 10 sec off – do pair 4 times/take a 1 min break
1st Pair – Pushups/Crunches (5 min)
Pushups – 20 sec; 10 sec rest
Crunches – 20 sec; 10 sec rest
Repeat 3 more times … than rest 1 mi
2nd Pair – Jumpies/Scullers (Sculling Sit-ups) (alternate exercises as above – 5 min)
3rd Pair – Mountain Climbers/Back Extensions (Supermans) (5 min
4th Pair – Squat Thrusts/Planks (5 min

6th Pair – V-Crunches/Lunges (5 Min)

Stay safe …
