Back to Basics Full-Body, Bodyweight Strength Workout

KATE-LEMERE

In the wake of Chicago (and national COVID-19 Shelter in Place), I started hosting 30-minute full-body, bodyweight workouts on Instagram LIVE at 6 AM CST. What happened next was beyond my expectations. A community came together to work out, feel good, and find our collective strength. It has been a privilege. The accompanying video is ROUGH AS HELL. I’m new to video, brand-spanking’ new to YouTube, and do not usually participate in my workouts. I’m like a fish out of water, but sharing these to help get us through!

Do them back-to-back, day-after-day, or bounce around. These are full-body STRENGTH workouts so that you won’t see many cardio or plyometric based drills, but you will reach full fatigue.

Note: If you have dumbbells, feel free to use them! They are NOT necessary; this can be done as a bodyweight strength workout.
