Work Out at Home with Fondren Fitness

Just because the gym is closed doesn’t mean we’re letting you off the hook! We’re going to be continuously updating our online content, so keep checking this post for new workouts you can do at home. 

Wake Up Shake Up: Core & Cardio

Today’s Wake Up Shape Up will focus on core with cardio mixed in to get the heart rate up a bit – this is designed to be done either inside or outside, but outside is better.

Each round lasts 10 minutes for a 30 minutes workout! 

  • Plank hold – 60 seconds on elbows; keep your back flat and belly button pushed back towards your spine; relax your neck and tighten your glutes 
  • Side plank holds – 30 seconds left side, 30 seconds regular plank, 30 seconds right side 
  • Toe touches – 30 reps; pulse up towards your toes and touch them if possible on each rep 
  • Push Up Plank hold – 60 seconds on hands 
  • Outside – jog or run for five minutes at an 8 out of 10 exertion level 
  • Rest one minute and repeat three rounds or as many as you would like!

12 Down Ladder

Perform the 12 down ladder for time and post your time! 
For a ladder, you start out doing 12 reps of each move, then 11 reps, 10 reps, so on, until you do the final round of just one rep. Push yourself and let’s see what you got!

  • Jump Squats – feet shoulder width apart, sit back and down and then explode 
  • Push Ups 
  • Jumping Jacks 
  • Burpees
