Recently, I have started teaching my Student Athletic Trainers how to work out. I know it sounds odd, that someone would need to be "taught" how to work out, but how would a 14 year old girl, with no formal weight training, know how to properly do a squat? Right now, we are working on workouts that can be done with out a gym membership, something they can do at home, or even in their dorm once they go off to college. We have started learning about Tabata style workouts. Below is one of this weeks workouts.
Each Round lasts for 4 min (20 seconds hard work, 10 sec rest) (a Tabata timer can be downloaded to most smart phones or tablets, or a wrist watch or stop watch can be used)
When there are two exercises per round, alternate back and forth between each exercise.
Round 1: Half Burpies (no Push ups) and Mountain Climbers
Round 2: Chair Push ups and Chair Dips
Round 3: Reverse Crunch and Russian Twists
Round 4: Plank on Elbows
Round 5: Squats and Jump Lunges
I hope to post three different workouts each week.
