Bodyweight workout
Thirty minute workout, yoga & bodyweight based, no equipment.
5 MINUTES: Warm-up
Start by lying on your back, arms at your sides.
Inhale deeply through your nose, and exhale through your mouth, 3-5 times.
Hug your knees to your chest (keep your head on the mat).
Roll back and forth like a log across your lower back to massage it.
Do any of the following that feel good:
- Point the sole of one foot toward the ceiling and pull on your thigh or calf for a hamstring stretch
- Pull your knee across your body while rooting down through the opposite shoulder for a spine twist
- Grab both feet (knees bent) in "happy baby" posture
- Do "figure 4" (one ankle across the opposite knee, then pull up on thigh) to stretch your glutes
Rock up and down from your shoulders to sit-bones multiple times, building momentum until you're sitting up.
Land in tabletop pose, wrists below shoulders, and hips directly above knees.
Do a few cat-cow poses and any organic movements you need, then get into plank position.
