Blocks of Fun: Cardio & Strength Workout

September 1, 2017 By Lindsay Gee 1 Comment

If you know me at all, you know that my true passion is teaching fitness. I love it. Love, love, love, LOVE it. I love the moaning and groaning. I love the swearing. I love the energy of group fitness. Mostly, I love that I get to help people do things they never thought they’d do (one-armed burpee anyone?). 

Last night I got to teach the Hot Mama Westshore group for a “Pop-Up” class and although I’d been working since 3am, when I finished teaching I was filled with such joy and love for fitness and the women surrounding me. 

With all that goodness, I thought I’d share the workout we did last night. No equipment needed. Just yourself, a water bottle, a sweat towel, a mat and a desire to go, go GO!

This workout is about 45 minutes long and involves both cardio and strength training. Enjoy!

The Workout:

4 Blocks of Cardio matched with 4 Blocks of Strength exercises.

The Cardio blocks include 3 exercises, each done for 30 seconds. Then you rest for 30 seconds. That equals 2 minutes. Repeat that 3 times, so the total cardio block is 6 minute for each block.

The Strength blocks also include 3 exercises but you do each exercise for 1 minute, no rest. The only change is that at the 30 second mark for each exercise you switch from doing the exercise with full range of motion to a pulse. For example, in Strength Block 1 you’ll do full squats for 30 seconds and then you’ll squat pulse for 30 seconds. 

Yes? YES!

Complete Cardio Block A then Strength Block A. Then move to Cardio Block B then Strength Block B, etc. 

Ooooooh la laaaaa…you’re going to have some fun with this one! Muwah!

Alright, Mama! Off you go! Comments, questions, concerns! Just let me know! And, if you do this workout, be sure to let me know how it goes! Woop!

    I’m getting excited about fitness again. My daughter and I are doing the Color Run in Cloverdale tomorrow and as soon as school starts I’m going to get back to strength training. I love the sound of this workout!
