Hi bloggies and happy MLK Day! Hope you had a great weekend (+ are perhaps enjoying an extended weekend today?).
For those who are following along with Bobby Scott Performance's "Yoga Strong" strength training program for yogis, we're now entering Week 2 and this week's workouts are below. Haven't started yet? That's okay! You can start with Week 1 at any point and work your way through this program at your own pace at any time of the year/whenever you're ready ;) That being said, if you're new to this program, I've included the FAQs below this week's workouts (just scroll down). Here's this week's programming: Day 4: Strength
Day 5: Strength
Day 6: Strength + Aerobic
Yoga Strong FAQ's: Who is designing this programming? Bobby Scott of Bobby Scott Performance. You can learn more about him here. Who is this for? Well, he's customizing it for me (he tested me on a lot of different movements back in November in order to come up with this program), but it's based on addressing the strength needs and imbalances of females who do a lot of yoga. Meaning, there's a big focus on upper body pushing and pulling, which we don't do a ton of in yoga. You can hear all about it on podcast Episode #33: Combining Yoga + Strength Training. Is this training in-person or do we do it on our own? What do we need in order to complete it? You do this program on your own and we'd love for you to follow along. In order to complete each week's workouts, you'll need access to a gym or workout space that is equipped with at least a bar/squat rack/weights, kettlebells or dumbbells, a bench, a rower, and a place to run. We don't recommend this program for anyone who is BRAND NEW to strength training, but if you've done it in the past and want to get back into it, you can definitely follow along. We'll include links to short videos that demo the movements whenever possible so that it's easier to figure out what you should be doing. How long will it last? 6 weeks. Every Monday for the next 6 weeks, I'll be posting the workouts for the week. There will be 3 workouts per week with the understanding that you're also doing 2-3 yoga classes per week. Note: you should start a little log or notebook where you keep track of your results for each of these workouts, as we'll be testing them again at the end of the 6 weeks to track change and improvement! Want to learn more about Bobby Scott Performance and/or book a remote training session with him so that you can get your own customized workout or training program?
