Sometimes it's better to be the creator, you know. Here are some excellent suggestions and formulas to try. https://www.active.com/fitness/articles/11-butt-kicking-tabata-exercises Let's move! This is a workout with weights. No timer but you'll be counting reps (my nemesis!). Do two rounds of the following exercises: Use 6-8 pound weights 1. Side lunge to front kick + bicep curl (holding a weight): 15 reps on each side 2. Push-up to squat, bicep curl, and shoulder press: 15 reps 3. Plié squat + upright row and plie squat + front delt lift: 15 reps 4. Goblet squat: 15 reps 5. Plank + row + move weight to other side: 15 reps 6. Rear lunge with twisting bicep curl: 15 reps on each side 7. Skater w/weight + curtsy lunge: 10 reps (place weights about a long step apart. Standing behind one weight, step back into a curtsy lunge to pick up one weight. Skate to the other side and back, performing another curtsy lunge to replace the weight. Skate without the weight. That's one rep. Repeat, alternating with and without the weight. Repeat 10 reps on the other side). 8. Back row and back fly with back leg taps: 10 reps 9. Chest fly + leg raises: 15 reps 10. Bridge + chest press: 15 reps Spiritual Health To renew ourselves, sometimes we need to reach out and take care of someone — or something — else.
