December Fitness Challenge Day 29

-->
Day 29


Perform each exercise consecutively. Once you finished your first set rest for 1 min and repeat for a total of 5 sets. 
Side Plank Star -15 ea side - To get explosive from the core, start in a side plank position with the planted elbow directly beneath the shoulder and both legs stacked. Now, keeping the core muscles tight, raise the top leg as high as possible to form a star position. Return the leg back down and repeat on the same side.

Single-Leg Jump Squat- 15 ea leg - Balance on one leg, grounding your weight in the heel, and lower into a single-leg squat. Extend the arms forward for balance. Hold momentarily at the bottom of the squat, and then throw the arms downward to generate momentum and jump up off the standing leg. Softly land on the same leg and then head straight into the next rep.
Mountain Climbers -40 seconds- Assume a pushup position with your legs extended behind you, arms straight, hands directly below your shoulders and your body straight. Keep your upper body still and arms straight as you swiftly bend your right leg and bring your knee up toward your right arm. Reverse your movement and repeat with your left leg and continue to march your legs back and forth and quickly as possible, like running in place.

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.
