Day 22 of the 4-Week Total Body Transformation Challenge

Today, we will be doing an interval-based circuit workout consisting of 30 seconds of exercise and 20 seconds of rest between sets. We can expect to perform 8 different exercises to complete the circuit.

The exercises for Day 22 include:

  • Body Weight Squat
  • Wall Sit
  • Superman Hold
  • Calf Raises
  • Bird Dog
  • Supported Lunges
  • Lying Leg Raise
  • Wall Pushup
  • Chair Squat

Let’s get started!

The Body Weight Squat works your quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes. Simply stand with a shoulder-width stance and lower your body towards the ground. Keep your back straight and your arms extended in front of you for balance. Once your thighs reach parallel with the floor, return to starting position.

Wall Sit is great for toning your glutes and quads. Find a wall and stand with your back against it. Slowly slide down until your legs are bent at a 90 degree angle. Hold this position for 30 seconds.

Superman Hold is great for strengthening your core. Lie face down on the ground and extend your arms and legs as if you are flying. Hold the position for 30 seconds.

Calf Raises are designed to work the muscles of your lower legs. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your hands against a wall for balance. Rise up onto your toes, hold for one second and slowly lower down.

This workout is just one part of our 4-Week Total Body Transformation Challenge. By sticking to the program and pushing yourself for just a few minutes each day, you can achieve amazing results!

 

Day 22 of 4-Week Total Body Transformation Challenge

Prior to commencing your workout, it's essential to incorporate a brief warm-up routine. Spend around 5 minutes either doing some brisk walking in place or strolling around your house.

This pre-workout warm-up helps prepare your body for exercise, increasing blood flow and flexibility to reduce the risk of injury and enhance overall performance.

Cool Down and Stretching

After completing your workout, it's crucial to follow up with an effective cool-down routine. Take a leisurely 5-minute walk around to gradually lower your heart rate and help your body recover. Alternatively, you can opt for static stretches to release muscle tension and improve flexibility.

This cool-down phase is essential for reducing post-workout soreness and promoting a sense of well-being, making it an important part of any exercise regimen.
