This is a safe and highly effective 8 exercise workout for ANYWHERE. No equipment needed, great for general mobility, stability, and strength. All in less than 10minutes! Simply follow the video and then cross “workout” off your to do list for the day. Simple, safe and satisfying.

200reps, 8 exercises (SQUATS, PUSHUPS, CRUNCHES, PLANKS, LUNGES, FLUTTER KICKS AND SIDE MOTIONS) body weight, safe, and can be done anywhere. These exercises are a great example of a simple, yet highly effective, 360deg full body workout which can be done without any equipment or a fancy gym membership.

These are also all great ways to move your body into full ranges of motion to see if you have any yellow flag issues such as pain, weakness or side-to-side imbalance. As all these issues can lead to the dreaded compensation, or biomechanical limp pattern. Compensations eventually cause problems. If any of this seems painful or far to difficult let us know. We’ll get you there and beyond. Give it a 200 rep try! Leave us a comment about your thoughts after completing it. Also, let us know your time, controlled form being key to all reps though, not speed.

The legal folks want me to mention you should consult a medical professional before trying a new workout. I would like you to keep track of your heart rate with one of those wrist sensors. The constantly expanding assortment of wearable devices capable of recording your heart rate is a major medical leap forward. Some wearables can even identify problematic heart rates associated with otherwise undiagnosed heart pathology. My opinion is every single person should wear one. For those participating in regular physical activity or sports a wearable biometric sensors should be mandatory for participation. I’m a huge proponent of the “What you measure you manage” mantra. What is more important to manage than your own health? Wearable biometric sensors have never made this easier. Opinion rant over. Also, let us know your average, and maximum heart rates during the workout. Important numbers to consider and easily understandable and even more important than all that, enjoy the challenge and sense of accomplishment after finishing. Have fun and congratulations on your High Performance day!
