Quiet Burpees & Quadruped Leg Lifts #AToZChallenge #BlogchatterA2Z


 

Nothing will work unless you do.

 

 

Nothing will work unless you do. So do it. And do the best. Don’t let go of the gift.

 

Quadruped Leg Lifts

Get on all your fours. Distribute your weight evenly between your arms and knees. Keep the knees shoulder-width apart. Now Slowly lift the right leg and extend it straight. Pull back. Lift the left leg and move it straight out. Keeping the knees straight.

Start with 45 seconds.  Gradually, you can increase as per your strength. Keep it slow and controlled. Keep your knees straight while lifting those legs.

This works on your core and tones your legs as well. Keep your abs tight the entire time.

Quiet Burpees

Stand upright with your feet shoulder-width apart. Lean forward and put your hands on the ground. Take a stance back with your right leg then the left. Bring the right foot back forward then the left one. Stand up. Push your arms over your head. Then again lean forward, put your hands on the ground and take a stance with the left foot first this time, then another foot back. Bring back left leg then right. Stand upright and push your arms overhead. Repeat.

This is a great cardio warm-up workout. It also works on your abs and thigh. Tones your hands.  Keep the core contracted while taking the stance. Keep your shoulders firm.

Start with 45 seconds.  Gradually, you can increase as per your strength. Keep it slow and controlled.

When can you do ?? Best time for any workout is in the morning. You can also do in evening after at least 4 hours of a heavy meal. Never perform any workout on a full stomach.

Get that little “umph” and be a winner. This is all for you no one else.

20 Motivational Quotes To Help You Reach Your Fitness Goals

P.S –

These are just single workouts. Warm up and cool down are not included in this. Know that your body has limits and you should respect it. Do only as much as your body allows you. Little pain is absolutely normal as the muscles stretch, but if you feel more pain then you are doing something wrong. Stop doing it and consult a doctor if necessary. I am not a personal trainer, this is meant to be the inspiration for you as a way to break workout boredom.
