Warming up relaxes the body and muscle which further allows them to be worked effectively. It is believed that cold muscles and tendons are more prone to damage since they are more likely to tear when cold. A warm-up increases the heart rate gradually and prepares the heart and cardiovascular system. A warm-up causes the blood to be diverted to the exercising muscles. This is achieved by getting the blood vessels that supply the muscles being used, to dilate. Exercising, without warming up, may cause the muscles to work without an adequate oxygen supply. This forces them to use anaerobic processes to supplement their production of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP). As a consequence, lactic acid accumulates and the muscles may become prematurely fatigued.

Y’s Starting Position: Begin in “Bent Over Row” position. Back is flat, chest is out, core is tight and arms hang directly below your shoulders. Action: With thumbs pointing up, raise your arms up and out to shoulder level to form a Y. At the top of the move, pause and squeeze shoulder blades. Slowly lower arms down to start position and repeat. Perform with control and purpose. IF: If you lower back tired quickly, you may perform this same move while lying on a stability ball or over the side of a chair. 2. Spiderman Crawl Starting Position: Assume the push up position, wrists under shoulders, body forms a straight line Action: Bring your right foot up to the outside of your right hand – or as close as what feels comfortable – pause in this lunge position and return to start – switching legs as you repeat on the opposite side. Be sure to: Keep your core tight, your hips down and maintain a straight plank position. 3. Hip Bridge Starting Position: Lie flat on a mat with heels close to your bottom, heels flat on the floor. Action: Push out of your heels as you squeeze your glutes and thighs to raise hips off mat as high as you can. Pause and return to start but lightly tap your bottom to the mat before squeezing and raising hips again. Be sure your shoulder blades and head remain on the mat and breathe! Take your time to get the most out of this move. The goal is to activate your glutes so you get the most out of your lower body moves in the circuit. Prisoner Sumo Squat Starting Position: Position your feet 6-10 inches wider than shoulder-width apart. Toes pointed out. Hands should be up, finger tips behind your head, elbows pointing out to the sides and kept wide. Action: Start by tilting your hips back, weight is in your heels and lower your body down into the squat until your thighs are parallel to the floor. Keep your back straight and elbows out. Squeeze your glutes and thighs as you push out of your heels to return to the start. Close Grip Push Up Starting Position: From a seated position on a stability ball, holding 2 dumbbells roll forward, walking your legs out until you are lying on the ball, neck and upper back supported on ball, bottom and lower back are lowered as well. Action: Place dumbbells by shoulders and in ready position for chest press. As you press DBs straight up above your chest, begin the reverse plank as you squeeze your glutes and thighs as you raise your hips up and into a reverse plank position. Pause keeping glutes, thighs and core contracted and return hips and DBs to start. Be sure to: Keep your core tight and be mindful of the muscle used in both the chest press (triceps, core and chest) and the reverse plank (glutes and thighs). Modify: If this move is too difficult, you may choose to perform assisted either at an incline against a bench/step or on your knees. Step Up Starting Position: Stand in front of a step or bench, one foot planted firmly making sure entire foot is on bench/chair. Action: Step up onto the bench/chair squeezing your glutes and thighs and raise your opposite knee as high as you can. In the same motion, lower this leg to the floor, tap lightly and step right back up to the top of the move. You will keep the same foot on the bench/chair the entire time to complete repetitions. If you are performing timed rounds, alternate your step ups. 1 Leg “RDL” Romanian Deadlift Starting Position: Feet shoulder width apart, holding 2 DBs in front of your thighs, balanced on one leg. Action: Hinge at the waist, leading with your chest into a Romanian Deadlift, back is flat, knees are soft, DBs hang directly below shoulders. At bottom of move – once your back is parallel to floor, pause and then push out of your heel squeezing you glutes and thighs as you slowly return to standing position. Perform all reps for one side and then switch sides for each circuit (circuit 1- right, circuit 2 –left, circuit 3right, circuit 4 –left) Be Sure to: Be sure to keep your core tight, chest out, back flat and shoulders parallel to the floor – do not lean to the side on which you hold the DB. Belly Blaster Starting Position: Begin in plank position, weight on your forearms and toes, core is tight, body forms a straight line from head to toe. Action: From plank position push off forearms, lifting hips into air looking back at your toes –pause for a moment and slowly returning to start- returning to the complete plank position before repeating. Be sure you return to the proper plank position between each repetition, body is straight and core is tight. Mountain Climber Starting Position: Begin in push up position. Wrists are directly under shoulders, core is tight, body forms a straight line from head to tail bone. Action: Drive your right knee up towards your chest alternating back and forth with your left knee in a running motion. Repeat this movement for the required number of seconds or repetition. Be sure to keep your body aligned and your hips low. You can choose to tap your toes on the mat or for more of a challenge do not let them touch at all, allowing for a continuous running movement. Intervals Ideas If you follow the 3 days a week schedule you can choose to wrap up your fat loss workout with a 10-15 minute interval session. Note –Performing Intervals immediately after body weight workout may vary in intensity. Keep in mind that the Fit Yummy Mummy Fat Loss workouts incorporate a cardiovascular component as well. It is perfectly fine to perform a less intense version of your favorite Interval workout after your body weight circuit. Your body will still be primed for fat loss. If you follow the 6 days a week schedule, be sure to allow a day of rest in between each body weight circuit day to allow for recovery and repair – which equals better results!
