Jenny's CardioStrength # 1
This is a
[Other] pattern from
www.turnstep.com.
(pattern 17101)
I teach a combo/interval class called CardioStrength. I try to create short, intense bursts to challenge my participants who are mostly very fit. I rarely give them breaks but encourage them to stop as they need to. I also offer low intensity options for every movement.
Set 1- (repeated twice)
- Cardio: alternate between step-touch and power jumps with heel taps in air
- Strength: stepping lunges with lat raises
Set 2 (repeated twice)
- Cardio: hands in air high knee run 8 counts, 2 burpees
- Strength: plie squats with slow dumbell jabs
Set 3 (repeated twice)
- Cardio: side to side jumps high speed alternating with easy ham curls
- Strength: pushups
Set 4 (repeated twice)
- Cardio: power 4's* jacks, skaters, mountain climbers, squat jumps
- Strength: combined movement: tricep kickback and leg extension from all fours
Set 5 (repeated twice)
- Cardio: repeater countup **
- Strength: standing on one foot, lift leg up with knee bent at 90degrees, same time perform bicep curl, extend leg straight out flexing quad as you press dumbbells overhead, bend knee weights come down, foot on floor weights by side
Set 6 (repeated twice)
- Cardio: fast feet straddle run
- Strength: pec flyes with heel drops
*4 Simple exercises performed for 30 seconds one right after the next, rest for 30 seconds then do it again
** Start with one step-knee, then two step-knees, then 3,4,5,6,7, all the way of to 12....switch legs
Hope that makes sense to you...simple and effective. Let me know if you have questions.
