Fit Body Boot Camp San Mateo Health Club 12/17/15: Holiday Transformation Challenge Day 74: Core – Cardio Workout

https://brienshamp.com/2013/06/08/personal-training-belmont-6613-sexy-slim-core-cardio-workout%E2%80%8F/

3 Phase Warm-Up: 

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 7 core exercises below

Phase 4: Obstacle Course Run/Walk (5 min) *Can also take the group through 5 min of stationary cardio movements- 30s for each movement. It could be fun for each group member to pick a cardio movement for 30s 🙂
