Warrior Shred – Core Circuit (new video)

A post shared by FVT Warrior Wellness (@fvtwarriorwellness)

In today’s video, we talk about performing a level one and level two boat pose exercise, engaging the core and keeping the knees tracking over the toes. Then we move into a forearm plank, starting in a sphinx pose and engaging the core while holding the plank position. The plank exercise can also be done from the knees.

Do three 30 second holds of each with 15 seconds rest between sets for a complete core workout!

Think Santa spends his off-season sipping cocoa and taking it easy?

Think again.

Saturday, December 14th at FVT Warrior Wellness, we’re diving into what really keeps the big guy ready to deliver gifts worldwide.

The Wrath of the North Pole Workout is your chance to step into Santa’s boots and crush it like the legend himself.

Here’s what we have planned so far:

Do as many reps as you can of each move in 40 seconds. Rest for 20 seconds between moves. Rest after completing all moves in the circuit, repeat twice for 3 rounds total:

• “Silver Swings” – Kettlebell swings to build the power needed to hoist that sack of toys.
• “Snowdrift Push-Ups” – Push-ups like you’re powering through the North Pole blizzards.
• “Rocky Mountain Lunges” – Strengthen your legs to climb icy rooftops.
• “Chimney Rows” – Recline rows for the upper body strength to haul yourself up and down chimneys.
• “Reindeer Jacks” – Jumping jacks to get your heart racing like Rudolph leading the sleigh.
