Daily Workout for 03/26/2020

While you are at home get up and do some exercises!

Remember to always do a dynamic warm-up before you workout. Do something similar to what we did prior to swimming. Remember it is important to always warm up your muscles prior to a workout.

The videos will time you during each exercise. Try and repeat all the videos twice.

In the first video focuses on endurance. Try to do the video 2 times. https://resources.specialolympics.org/video-endurance-level-1

  • Jumping Jacks
  • March and Swing Arms
  • Quick Punches (Chrissy‘s favorite ????)

The second video has you working on your flexibility. https://resources.specialolympics.org/video-flexibility-level-1

  • Calf Stretch
  • Child’s Pose
  • Knee to Chest

Last but not least you will work on your strength. Each exercise should be done 10 times. https://resources.specialolympics.org/video-strength-level-1

  • Leg Raises (Front and Side) – use a chair for balance
  • Push-ups on the wall or the floor.
  • Curl-Ups
