WARM-UP

Is it important to warm up? Absolutely!

In order to exercise and activate your body, it needs to be prepared. When you warm up, you increase the blood flow in the body and the muscles get more oxygen. This helps so your performance becomes higher and you can perform your training/activity in a better and more efficient way, but above all it helps to avoid injuries.

  • You increase your body temperature.
  • Prepares the muscles for harder effort than usual.
  • Increase performance.
  • Improves mobility by warming joints and ligaments.
  • Muscles and nerves are prepared and work more efficiently.
  • Decreased risk of injury.

Switch between two exercises, each exercise is performed intensively for 45 seconds, then rest for 15 seconds, switch to the next exercise. Repeat each for 4 rounds

KETTLEBELL SWINGS

Kettlebell swing is a cannonball or so-called kettlebell exercise and is a heart rate booster that makes your heart work hard while activating the whole body. Here you build both endurance and strength. Use your hip as a hinge. The back should therefore be straight throughout the exercise and not bent.

  • Choose the weight according to your needs.
  • Bend your knees and hold the handle of the kettlebell.
  • Tighten your glutes (butt) and use your hips to swing the kettlebell forward and up oto eye level. And swing back down (be sure not to do a squat when coming down– the hip should do all the work)
  • Repeat.

SQUAT WITH JUMPS

  • Stand with your feet hip-width apart.
  • Put your hands in front of your body.
  • Slowly lower your butt towards the floor as low as you can without arching your back.
  • Jump straight up as high as you can, don’t land on straight legs, make sure you have bent legs for a soft landing.
  • Repeat.
  • The upper body should be kept as straight as possible, do not lean forward in your squat.

For increased efficiency, you can add dumbbells to this exercise.
