If you’re anything like me, you want a little variety in your workout routines. That’s why I love MIXING IT UP some days and working my muscles in new ways.
Today’s workout does just that! ✅
Here are the FAST FACTS: ALL standing, NO jumping | ONE heavy dumbbell or kettlebell | MODERATE day | INCLUDES warm up + cool down
Enjoy this kettlebell-inspired routine that uses momentum to help you GAIN STRENGTH and FORTIFY YOUR CORE – muscles that we use in our everyday lives. As we age, sometimes this area of our body isn’t as strong as it once was, and other muscles and joints jump in to do the work. This can lead to overuse, soreness and injury. 😞
This workout AWAKENS YOUR CORE (i.e., your abs and butt) to help increase strength and encourage your whole body to work together in concert. 𝄞 The benefits of this kind of work permeates into other areas of our lives, too, such as:
💪 improved brain-body connection
💪 fall prevention
💪 active aging, and
💪 increased strength, power and stamina
