Hey!
Today's challenge will be a bit different to the ones I posted before. Usually, the warm up should be done running, but if you are at home, you can also do it stepping.
Warm up:
(stepping/running)
Every position at least 60 seconds
Make circles with the arm, alternating left and right.
Raise your knee until it touches your shoulder, change leg every 3-5 steps.
While stepping, make boxing movements. Raise the rhythm the longer you do it.
Jumping Jacks
This was the warm up, hold every position for 1 minute!
1. Go to squat position and hold. After half of the time, start raising repeatedly your heels and go down again.
2. Go to plank position and hold.
3. Upward dog position
4. Back to plank and bring your knee to your triceps and hold (one side)
5. Downward dog position
6. Back to plank and bring your knee to your triceps and hold (other side)
In 30 seconds, do the max. amount of push-ups (elbows next to body) you can do
Lay in sit up position, do sit ups, but u cant be faster than 5 seconds for every move (5 sec. to get up, 5 seconds to get down)
So folks, have fun doing it! It will be a quite fast workout, so you can repeat it at least 3-4 times!

Challenge 2. 15 minutes Pilates-inspired workout for legs
Hi!
Having a serious flu (maybe because of the -20 degree weather) so, therefore did not want to do anything that we move too fast and jump around. So, this is quite nice workout also fot those days that yo don't want to sweat too much, but still want to feel the burn in your butt! :D
So dear Robert and all the other readers, let's get started! Hehe, no excuses, do it now!
Do 1-2 times through or put a timer and do 15 minutes so many times through that you can :)
-5 pistol squats
-15 squats
-15 leg raises per leg
1 minute sitting against the wall
- 15 butt raises
-15 single leg raises per side
hold your butt for 1 minute up
-20 from squat position to lunge position -stay low all the time!
-16 side squats (stay low and change from side to side)
-15 back-movement ( lay on your tummy and raise simultaneously arms and legs. )
-hold yourself in one minute on all fours without letting your knees to touch the floor
