[Music] what’s up has fit tribe it’s your personal trainer coach Kozak I’m 14 weeks pregnant Claudia and this is a tabata cardio workout there is absolutely no equipment required for today’s routine and we’re gonna perform it Tabata style so that means we’re gonna go for back-to-back rounds of each exercise that’s 20 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of rest you can follow coach Kozak for the standard exercises and I’ll be providing easier modifications if you’re ready to go let’s get to work [Music] [Music] all right tribe let’s get started with the warmup first one for the day warming up our upper bodies we’re gonna do a shoulder roll go ahead and pick those shoulders straight up to our ears and then bring the arms up and over form an arm circle shoulders up arms come up and over just a complete upper body shoulder stretch on this one nice and controlled not going too crazy on the pace remember it’s just the warm-up here now we’re not gonna count any repetitions during the workout or during the warm-up just want you moving at a pace that you feel comfortable with making sure to breathe on this one this funny face that I’m making while I’m doing it is totally optional don’t feel pressured into making it keep those shoulders back good posture your core is tight on this one four five four three two one zero good alright one more upper body move here we’re gonna do a dynamic chest open and bring those arms up elbows to a 90-degree angle let’s bring the arms together elbows together and then as we pull the hands and elbows back I want you to press that chest forward open that chest up and repeat open that chest and shoulders up and then bring the hands and elbows together again keeping good posture and as you perform this want you to focus on bringing that chest forward not reaching with your head and neck but instead really reaching with those shoulders as well as your chest it’s a great one to help you improve your posture as well keep that breathing going here well that’s ten seconds on this one as you’re getting through this your range of motion should be improving four five four three two one zero all right next we’re moving into an inchworm so we’re going to start there feet shoulder-width apart I want you to bend over and place your hands on the floor now ideally we’re keeping our knees straight but you may need to bend your knees to accomplish it we’re just trying to keep your legs as straight as possible and we’re walking out with our hands and do a high plank position now let’s walk up with our feet keeping those legs as straight as we can stand all the way up and now repeat going reverse come back down hands down keep those legs straight as we walk back into a high plank and then walk back with our hands again if you need to bend your knees to accomplish this it’s alright and repeat we’re just trying to keep it as straight as possible stretching out that posterior chain our hamstrings glutes and lower back all getting nice and warmed up on this one again not a race either making sure to breathe that hold in your breath also keeping those legs straight as we walk back last one and up excellent all right last one in our warm-up we’re going to move into a kneeling hamstring stretch plus rotation so let’s get down into a high plank position for this one also known as like a push-up position on our hands and our feet let’s bring our right foot up by our right hand we’re going to start with our rotation so I want you to take that right hand and we’re reaching through bringing that elbow down and now I want you to sit back come onto that opposite side knee straighten out this lead leg and we’re reaching towards the foot you may or may not be able to touch it doing the best you can now we’re coming back and repeating back into that high plank reaching through and then you sit back or stretching that hamstring as well as our calf repeat and just going back and forth between the two and a little dynamic movement here loosen up those legs getting them ready for this work that is on the way remembering to breathe through this entire exercises especially when you’re in a plank position that’s it don’t hold your breath okay last one here and as we come up let’s go ahead and step back step up with our opposite foot our left foot and now let’s do the opposite side now we’re in through and then sitting back onto that opposite side knee reaching stretching that hamstring and calf and repeat focus on getting a rotation while you’re up in that high plank position and I’ll help you to loosen up that lumbar spine good make sure not to hold your breath and again not part of the workout so we’re just moving at a relaxed pace here getting our heart rate up overall body temperature up and at the same time gaining a little bit of extra mobility along the way last one good stretch and that’s it warm-up is complete I’m ready to do this I’m warm I’m going to it is warm in the gym today warm summer day okay we’re gonna get started with either a squat plus high knee clap or a quarter squat plus the high knee clap and I’ll show you what that looks like again we’re gonna do four rounds of each exercise we’re gonna do 20 seconds of work and then you get a 10 second break in between well joy so it goes quick it’s gonna go very fast feet are shoulder-width apart and put our weight back in

why’d you come here for a tribe what is it what are you working towards what’s it gonna take to get there every single day you do at least one thing to get yourself closer to that goal come on what’s it gonna take only thing standing in between you and your goals is that work that has to be put in and break that’s it you made it and do we put in the work my legs are on fire right now folks no joke no movie magic here shaking loose we’re gonna move into a cool-down and the purpose of this cooldown is to give us a second to allow our heart rates to come down catch our breath get your breath and also to gain a little extra flexibility mobility working at the same time I spend a lot of time on our hands today so we’re in a little bit of wrist work I start with the wrist flexion extension those arms straight up now let’s make a fist as we bring those fists down slowly hold feel that stretch and now let’s hold hands up slowly as we peel them back and do an extension now hold pulling those fingertips all the way back reverses slowly make a fist as we come forward and to the flexion remember to take big deep breaths as you move to this routine that’s it hold that static stretch one more time up open those fingers as we extend and stretch those fingers back bring in that heart rate down focus on it four three two one zero we get to go to the floor for the next one sound pretty excited go ahead and sit down on your back side with your legs out in front of you let’s do a little angle here Claudia all right thanks out in front of you legs are straight we’re gonna do a hip hinge just our hands on our hips back stays straight shoulders are back as we bend over keep those knees down don’t bring them up so it doesn’t end up being that big of a stretch on this one cuz you are keeping that back straight and this is gonna emphasize those hamstrings using this form so don’t stretch with your head and neck but I said keep everything straight nice neutral spine nice neutral spine as you bend over and hold and it may not be that much of a move you might move an inch doesn’t take much four five four three two one all right similar move next but a little bit different in the muscles that we’re targeting next we’re gonna do a seated reach stretch so this time we’re gonna reach with their hands allow your back to bend and actually want you to pull back on those toes if you can’t reach them you can still pull back on them tuck that chin get a full stretch this one’s gonna stretch more your back as well as your glutes still hitting your hamstrings and then also hitting those calves all together nice big deep breaths here any of these static stretches we’re trying to get to about eighty five ninety percent of what we’re capable of feeling a good stretch but not feeling any real pain as you get into it and relax you can come just a little further forward and as you start to loosen up four five four three two one zero okay we’re gonna come on up into a kneeling position next nice and slow here and do a kneeling hip flexor stretch so one leg is up 90 degree angle nice and straight line from our shoulders to that opposite side knee hands are on our hips first thing what you do is squeeze your glutes and squeeze your abs now keeping them squeezed and contracted I want you to gently come forward with your hips doesn’t take a lot of range of motion as long as you’re squeezing here and here you can feel stretched down on your hip flexor as well as your quad now if you don’t have those squeeze and they’re relaxed and you can come all the way forward well you’ll notice when they would glutes are squeezed and your abs are contracted it doesn’t take much and we’re just holding here get a nice big deep breath for five four three two one zero all right let’s switch it up opposite side now and great one for the hip flexors as well as your quadriceps squeeze those glutes squeeze those abs and now ever so slowly bring those hips forward got a lot of working on those hip flexors and quadriceps today those agility moves some plyometric moves it’s a great one to help those recover so I don’t wake up to sewer tomorrow keep those glutes and abs tight four three two one zero relax good all right next we’re doing for our shoulders and a little bit of our spine we’re gonna do the thread the needle let’s come on to all fours hands and our knees with our right hand we’re gonna reach through and underneath our opposite side arm slight rotation and drop that same side shoulder down we’re reaching through just a slight rotation not a full rotation and reaching through as far as you can and we’re just holding on this again nice big deep breaths here try any best to get that heart rate back down four three two one zero back up same move opposite side reaching through with that left hand nice and relaxed trying to bring that shoulder down and a hold good time here to just take a minute and be proud of what you’ve achieved so far today you put in the discipline nobody nobody made you do this workout today you did it by choice you were strong enough to get it done might not have been easy but it was worth it you’re gonna come back and you’re
