what’s up has fate tribe it’s your personal trainer coach Kozak and I’m Claudia and this is the total body hit workout we’re gonna perform today’s routine Tabata style so that means we’re gonna do four back-to-back rounds of each exercise that’s 20 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of rest the only equipment required for today’s workout is a pair of dumbbells and the weight that you use is dependent on your fitness level follow along with me for the standard moves and follow me for some easier modifications if you’re ready to go let’s burn it out [Music] alright let’s get started with the warmup first move of the day is going to be a knee raise plus chest opener so opening those arms up feeling that stretch in your chest and in your shoulders and then doing like a march in place while we’re trying to bring that knee up to parallel to the ground and the purpose of today’s warm-up is to elevate your heart rate and increase your overall body temperature and we’ll even get a little bit of mobility work in here at the same time get your body warmed up for what’s to come that’s it now the purpose of the warm-up is not to get your actual workout in so make sure you’re moving at a warm-up pace don’t burn yourself out here whatever your warmup pace looks like go ahead and give it making sure to breathe along the way focus on that breathing nice and consistent feeling a stretch in your chest and in your shoulders every time you open those arms up doing this one for just 10 more seconds and let’s go five four three two one and zero we’re moving to the floor for the next one let’s go ahead and start in a high plank position also known as like a pushup position we’re gonna do a multi-planar lunge let’s take your right foot and move it up by your right hand now we’re gonna reach through to your left side and then reach up to the right go ahead and look at that hand as you twist and rotate from your core this one’s gonna loosen up multiple body parts from your thoracic spine to your hamstrings shoulders all getting loosened up on this one that like this one because it’s just such an inefficient move we’re gonna split our time equally on both sides and again this one is not a race moving through it a nice warm up pace this great mobility move keep that breathing going here and we’re gonna switch sides and five four three two one go and place that right hand back down step that right foot back now let’s step up with your left foot and we’re gonna reverse it reaching through to the right and then twisting up as we look at that hand excellent now is a good time to remind yourself of why you hit that play button today what it is that motivates you what brought you here to this workout we’re gonna keep that in your mind through throughout today’s routine and as today’s routine gets more difficult that’s gonna be that little carrot that gets you through keeping it up four five four three two one and zero all right coming back up to our feet one last warm-up move we’re gonna warm up our posterior chain the posterior swing to overhead feet are a little wider than shoulder-width apart point those toes out slightly bend our knees swing those hands through your legs and then up overhead now we’re starting with a slight bend in our knees we’re going to maintain that slight bend throughout driving our hips back you’ll feel a stretch and your hamstrings your glutes it’s also loosening up your lower back and those three big muscle groups make up your posterior chain loosening them up getting them ready for this action we’re trying to drive our hips back almost like we’re trying to touch our glutes to the wall behind us on this one and then finish up with those arms up overhead biceps by our ears also getting a little shoulder stretching at the same time again really efficient dynamic active stretch let’s do this one for just five four three two one and zero all right for our first move of the day we just need one dumbbell you ready to go I’m ready to go let’s do that if you’re ready as well one dumbbell needed we are gonna do a reverse lunge Plus halo so I’m gonna grab that dumbbell on either side have it out in front of us to start we’re gonna step back with one leg and we’re gonna twist in the opposite side direction drop from both knees to a 90 we’re gonna come up perform a halo bring it up overhead and now we’re going to opposite side drop that back knee down and up right back into halo and you’ll see how each move flows right into the next one that’s right okay again we’re going for back-to-back rounds 20 seconds of work above by 10 seconds of rest I’m ready to get the show on the road let’s do it all right first round here let’s get it going in three two one let’s get it cranking making sure to breathe throughout and your goal in these 20 seconds of work sets is to get as many reps in as possible keeping that pace up now of course we want you to maintain proper form throughout three two one and break well we’re going as fast as we can we don’t want a sacrifice form No all right so these ten-second breaks are gonna go by fast here we go in two one begin and hit it like I said 20 seconds of work goes by slow in that 10 seconds of rest is gonna go by fast so be ready for just enough time to take a couple deep breaths in your right back into it this move is gonna hit your shoulders core hamstrings glutes quads three two one break so excellent compound move definitely alright – now shake it out here we gotta go to one begin as you get a little more familiar with the move you can pick up the pace not about being perfect on this just about putting in the work keeping the pace up much longer and if you need to you can always adjust your weight three two one break3 now I wanted to go one more almost there a couple deep breaths boom alright guys here we go three two one last round picking it up let’s go how many can you get right here throughout today’s workout you’re not competing
