Fit Body Boot Camp San Mateo Fitness 1/23/16: Challenge Day 12 & 16-Saturday Medicine Ball Core – Cardio Workout!

Past workout: https://brienshamp.com/2013/10/24/weight-loss-foster-city-boot-camp-102413-medicine-ball-core-cardio-workout/

Phase 1: Warm-Up: Perform 3 minutes of diaphragmatic breathing while lying supine: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-_NNCrrdus Lie on back and initiate breathing with belly–>rib cage and then chest, instead of initiating with chest. Breathe in and out of nose for approximately 15s each breath (5s inhale–> 5 s hold–> 5 s exhale). Emphasize that campers do this upon rising and going to sleep and if they want an amazing shift in their state at any time, while breathing think about 3 things they are grateful for.

Phase 2: Floor Stretches (5 min) *Work on forearm/wrist mobility

Phase 3: Review of WOD Below

*Review WOD below during Phase 2 & 3 above. After Phase 3 boot campers immediately transition to group WOD. They can get water at any time on their own.

*Set Gym Boss or Interval App to: 40s work time, 10s rest, 4 sets

*3B’s= Draw in belly towards spine, engage bladder muscles and tuck butt

*2B’s= Draw in belly towards spine & engage bladder muscles
