π Reset
WEEKLY CHALLENGE:
- Surgery
- Birth
- Injury
- Other major physical setback
If your core is still healing from something >>> First Foundational Five “F5”
If you’ve done the F5 and want a beginning path with several weeks of structure >>> Fit2B Beginning
If you’ve recently given birth >>> Fit2B New Mama Pathway
If you’ve been dealing with a lower limb injury >>> Chair & Floor WorkoutsΒ
If you’re recovering from an arm injury >>> One Arm Wonder
Meanwhile, this quick little “Reset Week” here in this lesson below is ideal for making a quick return to fitness when there’s no physical considerations like injury, birth, trauma, surgery, etc. If you’re doing this reset, you have a decent (not perfect) fitness baseline that you just happened to slack on for a week or two, and you’re needing a tiny reboot.
Feature Routine: 21 Tone-UP
Equipment needed: just your beautiful body BUT you can add canned goods or dumbbells to make it harder!
Rather than doing parallel workouts this week, since our theme is “Reset” we are going to try doing 4 other different workouts to cover allΒ our bases: Strength, Balance, Cardio, Core, and Flexibility. The featuredΒ routine provided cardio for your heart. Try to make these other three workouts happen this week to take careΒ of the rest of you too!Β
Strength:Β Reboot your weightlifting technique with at least the first unloaded half ofΒ Green Gertie
Balance:Β Did you know that balance work + weights strengthens your bones? Do Black Balance & Biceps
Core: Wake up your core connection with some fun, new challenges in Kelly’s Dynamic Pelvic Floor Routine
Flexibility: The hips are always a bit tight after some time off, so how about Hippy Yoga or Simply Stretching
Moving thought: You’re not starting over. You’re resuming.
Just like restarting a device doesn’t mean rebuilding that device, when you need a reset, it’s simply powering back up and using all the knowledge and experience you have to resume your important work. To me, Beth, a reset isn’t at all about having quit or failed or fallen off a proverbial wagon. It’s about clearing the board, setting out the familiar pieces, and playing the game again.
