Happy Sunday!
The first Sunday without football...sad.
But, now that football is over...maybe you can use that time to get to the gym on a Sunday now. Or do a workout at home. Just do something.
I'll even help you out by giving you suggestions of what you should be doing in the gym. Here's how I structure my workouts and my clients workouts. I always aim to hit these 7 movements or planes of motion when designing programs...they usually hit all the bases when it comes to being strong in
life.
- Squat - think sitting on a chair or getting off a toilet.
- Hinge - think tying your shoes and bending over to pick something up.
- Lunge (forward + lateral) - kneeling down to get
something/stepping laterally to get out of the way.
- Push - pushing your kids in a stroller or moving furniture around the house.
- Pull - pulling open doors/pulling beach chairs through the sand.
- Carry - carrying groceries and all sorts of things all the time.
- Rotate - rolling over to get out of bed/reaching for things.
Those are the 7-ish "planes of motion" I always try to emphasis with myself and my clients. Those are all things you do in life so why not get stronger at them in the gym. Here are 7 exercises below that mimic those
motions about. You can implement them in your own workout routine:
- Dumbbell goblet squat
- Barbell deadlift
- Dumbbell lunge or dumbbell cossack squat
- Barbell bench press
- Pull-ups
- KB farmers carry
- Cable rotations
Implement those in your routines and you'll be pretty strong and balanced in life. Or just sign up for my B3 program below and you won't have to worry about creating your own workouts 😁👍🏻!
