Low Impact Banded Booty and Core
Grab a mini band and yoga mat. This lower body focus workout includes two 8 minutes AMRAPs, 1 timed 8 minute interval , and a 4 minute finisher!
For the first two circuits, set your timer on your cell phone to 8 minutes and complete as many rounds as possible in that 8 minute circuit. For the third, each move will be 60 seconds on with a 10 second rest. Finally, you have a 3 minute finisher. This is where you go all out and give it 110% on form and speed (when/if possible, but never sacrifice form).
This is a great workout to add to an outdoor run (or one of the treadmill workouts in Ives' latest blog post below) and will come in just over 30 minutes. Be sure to add a quick dynamic warm up before jumping into this workout and cool it down/stretch it out following.
