Welcome to February and the fourth week of the Yoga Strong program! I hope those of you out there who are following along are enjoying it (or at least feeling stronger--I know I am!). Just two more weeks to go and then you can decide how to move forward with your strength training on your own...
{Haven't started the program 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.} So, here are this week's workouts. The good news? You've done a lot of these movements and exercises before. The bad news? If you haven't done so already, you should probably start adding weight to the weight-optional movements, which always makes it much harder. FYI, for those who are new to this program, I've included the FAQs below the workouts (just scroll down). Day 10: Strength
Day 11: Strength
Day 12: Strength + Aerobic
Yoga Strong FAQs: 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. I post the workouts for the week on Mondays. There are 3 workouts per week with the understanding that you're also doing 2-3 yoga classes per week. You can view ALL 6 weeks of programming here. 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?
