December Fitness Challenge Day 15


Day 15

Perform each exercise for 45 seconds resting for 15 seconds between and repeat entire circuit for a total of 3 sets. You may take up to 1-2 minute rest between circuits as needed.
Burpee - Combine upper- and lower-body explosive move. Begin in a standing position. Drop into a squat position and place your hands on the ground. Kick your feet back, while keeping your arms extended then perform a push-up. Immediately jump your feet back in returning your feet to the squat position. Jump up from the squat position.
Plank- Start by getting into a press up position. Bend your elbows and rest your weight ono your forearms and not on your hands. Your body should form a straight line from shoulders to ankles. Engage your core by sucking your belly button into your spine. Hold

Reverse Lunge Knee-Up - Begin by standing on one foot (think Karate Kid), then step the opposite foot backwards into a reverse lunge. Powerfully push through the front foot and bring the opposite knee towards the chest. Quickly step back into a reverse lunge and repeat.
Shouder Taps -Start in a push-up position. Lift up one hand to touch your opposite shoulder and return to the start position. Alternate arms.

Sumo Jump Squats   Stand with your feet shoulder width apart and slightly turned out, arms resting on your hips. Bend your knees, and pliĆ©, then jump up explosively. Keep your core engaged. Land with control, lowering your body back into the squat position to complete one rep.
Plank Jacks - Holding a static plank is great for you core, but adding a jumping jack motion with your feet pushes this move to a whole new level.

Testimonials

Tonya makes working out fun. She has a fantastic personality and is very encouraging. I've been training with her for over 6 months and have noticed a huge difference in my appearance and strength. I wish I could train with her every day! - Eleanor

Tonya's approach to fitness is creative and multifaceted - her drills are so creative that she actually makes workouts fun, tailoring sessions to my likes while still pushing me to my limit. Since starting to train with Tonya, I am stronger, more energetic and I feel like I can conquer the world! -Nina

I was a basketball coach for almost 30 years and knew how to get players in condition to play. Then I met Tonya , a knowledgeable, experienced and popular trainer. She inspired me to work out and enjoy it after a long day teaching and coaching. She is well researched and up to date with the latest conditioning and training ideas and methods. She is a professional who keeps up with her certifications and has years of experience. She has worked with clients of all ages and levels of fitness, so I would confidently send my elderly parents to her knowing they would be in good hands. She is flexible, empathetic and friendly. You KNOW you’ve had a workout and yet had a good time because of her innovative style and personality. I know of men who’ve commented that she was a taskmaster and yet kept coming back again and again. I’m near retirement age and I can say that Tonya has inspired me to continue training despite my naturally lazy attitude. She keeps it fresh and entertaining! ~Coleen O.
