Loop Band Workout – Low Impact, Total Body

May 25, 2020 by Nicole Leave a Comment

This loop band workout is low-impact. No jumping = no noise, so it’s a great quiet home workout. The resistance band will be mainly used to incorporate upper body, so don’t go too heavy with your band choice.

And for those of you who only watch my videos to see Pickles, you’ll be happy to know she’s passed out on the couch in the background through 95% of it lol.

Loop Band Workout – Total Body

EQUIPMENT NEEDED:

Resistance band loop – I’m using a “medium” tension band, but it’s on the lighter side of medium.

This loop band workout is broken up into three circuits. In each circuit, you’ll do three exercises, back to back, for 30 seconds each. Rest 30 seconds then repeat. In circuits 1 & 3, you’ll complete three sets of the circuit. In circuit 2, you’ll complete four sets, alternating between right and left.

As with all workouts, you want to make sure you’re properly warmed up before, and always listen to your body, modifying or stopping as needed. I have two guided warm ups:

5-Min Warm Up
7-Min Gentle Warm Up (no jumping)

Workout Breakdown

CIRCUIT 1

Low Impact Compound Exercises Workout (19 Mins)

May 18, 2020 by Nicole 2 Comments

This low impact compound exercises workout is just under 20 minutes long. All you’ll need is a set of medium weights. It’s total body, with an emphasis on legs, shoulders & biceps. Filming these workouts with Joe working from home has been quite the process these last couple months. And it’s a double whammy when Pickles decides to be a terror. For proof and a little chuckle check out this bloopers video. 🙂

Low Impact Compound Exercises Workout (19 Mins)

Equipment link is affiliate.

EQUIPMENT NEEDED:

Set of medium-light weights – I’m using 8lbs

In total, there are six exercises in this workout (some compound). We’ll start by doing the first three, back to back. We then repeat them on the other side. Then we move on to the final three exercises, again doing them on the right then left. We finish the workout by putting the whole sequence together, doing exercises 1-6 on the right then left. Rest time after each completed sequence is 30 seconds.

This is the general idea:

Exercises 1-3 (2 mins), right & left
Exercises 4-6 (2 mins), right & left
Put it together: Exercises 1-6 (4 mins), right & left

As with all workouts, you want to make sure you’re properly warmed up before, and always listen to your body, modifying or stopping as needed. I have two guided warm ups:

5-Min Warm Up
7-Min Gentle Warm Up (no jumping)

Workout Breakdown

See 1:49 in the above video for a preview of the exercises. To modify, use lighter weights.

SEQUENCE 1, do on right then left

(30 sec) Biceps Circle Curls
(60 sec) Lunge Curl to Press
(30 sec) Low Lunge Step with Biceps Curl

SEQUENCE 2, do on right then left

(60 sec) Curtsy to Squat Press
(30 sec) Pivoting Low Lunges
(30 sec) Shoulder Press Narrow – Wide

DO SEQUENCE 1+2, do on right then left

Bodyweight Home Workout (20 Mins)

May 4, 2020 by Nicole 1 Comment

I’ve got another quiet bodyweight home workout for you because so many of you seem to love them! I’ve been trying to post workouts more frequently during quarantine (I think I shared 13 in April which is certainly a record for me!). This month, however, I’ll be returning to just Mondays because I’m working on an exciting project! In the next couple months, I hope to have a subscription platform up and running via Vimeo so that you can access more workouts each week, and I’ll keep you all posted on the progress.

20-Min Bodyweight Home Workout

This bodyweight home workout is broken up into two circuits. The first focuses on lower body, and the second on core and upper body. In each circuit, you’ll have four exercises. You do them for 30 seconds each, back to back, rest 30 seconds, then repeat. In total, you complete four sets of the circuit, alternating right / left / right /left.

As with all workouts, you want to make sure you’re properly warmed up before, and always listen to your body, modifying or stopping as needed. I have two guided warm ups:
