The weather is warming (finally), I know those of you that had extra winter this spring are really ready to head outdoors. Just feeling that sunshine on my shoulders wants to make me move and groove, so I’m sharing this  Hold & Hustle Workout I created for Skirts Sports. 

The only special equipment needed for this body weight workout is your body!  So, BRING IT! Read on to get all the details and my oh-so instructional video (bwahahah):

The point of this workout is that you’re switching back and forth from static exercises dynamic movements – thus the “hold” and “go” . . .which I am now fondly callling “hustle”!

• 20 yard backwards or forwards bear crawl: Your choice of direction, or do both!
• 60 second dead hang: If you can not hold this long, just hold until failure and try again (again) until the 1 minute has passed.
• 10 backward lunges with kick through: Remember to do each side! If you are having trouble with the coordination, substitute 20 jumping jacks.
• 60 second boat pose hold: Can bend knees or, for more challenge, hold out straight and as high as possible.
• 10 pull ups: Do 10 pull-ups or pull-up attempts doing the highest-level variation for your fitness level. I show several pull up variations in the video. If no bar available, substitute push ups.
• 60 second wall sit: Make sure your legs are bent at a 90 degree angle and hammies are parallel to the ground.
• 10 knee-to-elbow taps in plank position: Remember do each side 10 times!
• 60 second yoga tree pose: Hold the balance for 1 minute, if you wobble, reset and start over for remainder of the minute. Repeat on other leg.

What is your favorite “static” exercise? What is your favorite “dynamic” moment? Did you try the Hold & Hustle Workout ? Do you belong to a gym or workout at home? Let’s chat in the comments – XOXO, Jennifer
