Workout of the Day - Week 2 Day 1

Hi there,

First off, I haven’t heard how anyone is doing with these. Are you using this info?!

Second, I want to stress that everyone should be doing at least two of the low-back exercises in the Egoscue vids that George recommended, every day. Abdominal/lower-back strength, flexibility, and stability, are critical to any athletic endeavor, and Bagua is no different. I do the cat/dog stretch, the “prayer” or “child” pose, the two-point stance, and the crunch-hold.

For today, let’s focus on getting some cardiovascular endurance built up. Take your jump rope and jump for five minutes. Do as many situps and pushups as you can, then jump for another five minutes. Do this five times total. Should take about thirty minutes.

For your rope jumping, alternate your footwork. Try to stay light on your feet and toes, let your knees absorb some of the shock as well - don’t have them locked out!

You don’t have to kill yourself with this workout for it to be effective. Just go at a pace that feels comfortable, and will allow you to finish the total 5 sets.

Let me know if you have any questions.
