The straight jump lunge is another great plyometric exercise to consider, and combining it with the tuck jump makes it a truly testing experience.

From standing, lower into a squat until your thighs are parallel to the ground, or even lower if you have it in you, then power up into the air. The simplest way to make tuck jumps more challenging is to perform a squat before you explode off the ground. Don’t do tuck jumps on rock-hard or uneven surfaces, and stop if you feel pain in your knees or ankles. It’s important to be warmed up before tuck jumping though, as a cold body won’t appreciate the explosive movements.Īiming to jump as high as possible means care is required upon landing to avoid placing your joints under too much stress. I think what I am trying to say is that weeks 3-4 I gained a new appreciation for my body and love the feeling of pushing the limits with fitness.ĭuring the first 4 weeks even though I haven’t noticed a huge difference in my physical shape my stamina/core are so much stronger and I can start to see muscle tone.Tuck jumps are an excellent addition to an HIIT circuit, as they will certainly keep the heart pumping for whatever time period you have assigned to your intervals. It’s not that I am not allowing myself to not eat junk food it’s that I seriously do not crave or even want to eat the junk (excuse the rambling) and Kayla’s nutrition guide is super helpful. Now that I work my ass off, junk food does not appeal to me anymore. So when the fries and pizza present their ugly selves I could not be more turned off. Like seriously, I don’t particularly think it makes sense to work your ass off just to go eat like crap. NOW Kayla – I feel so self motivated and only want what is best for my bod. I ate pretty clean, however, I would help myself to pizza or fries whenever the situation presented itself. PRE Kayla – I did megaformer pilates twice a week and the other days just ran. So far, doing Kayla Itsines BBG workouts I have learned so much about myself – self motivation and how important good nutrition is. I make sure I do at least 2-3 LISS and 1-2 HITT sessions a week.Įxcuse the poor iPhone quality – Starting to see muscle tone :) It is so important to keep up with the LISS and HITT part of the program. Even though I have notice a difference in my body, I feel like my muscle tone is taking forever to grow :/ I am feeling the strongest I have ever felt, however, I am having the hardest time putting muscle on. The leg day of week 6 and week 8 is so high tempo because it is a combination of legs and cardio. Week 6 of legs I was introduced to tuck jumps… Yikes, is that challenging! I highly recommend doing your HITT workout on the thursday before legs. My wrists are pretty weak so it makes doing commandos extremely challenging… The momentum from the previous weeks was still strong as I was starting to see small changes in my body.Īrms and abs are usually tolerable but can I mention how much a I hate commandos. Quick note: The past few weeks have been cha-ot-ic to say the least! So I am writing this a little late :/ No matter how crazy life has been lately I haven’t missed a day.

Like I have said in previous posts – When you work so hard to get into the best shape that you can you don’t want to dig into any junk food… You only want the best for your hot new bod! In summary, you won’t regret it! I enjoyed every hard bit of it As for my legs – I definitely gained definition which is amazing. About half way through the program I started to get a small outline of stomach muscles – now, the outline is more prominent. ![]() The last week was so gratifying in that I completed Kayla Itsines BBG. I wasn’t even aiming to lose that much, however, when your body starts to tone up you naturally lose inches. Week 9, still very challenging but seeing the big changes in my body is so motivating!Īt this point I lost about an 1 1/2 inches. Week 8 legs was very high tempo with the jump lunges, x lunges, and tuck jumps but oh so good. Just like this program knowing how hard i have pushed myself and worked makes it that much more gratifying. It’s like working so hard to get those pair of shoes you’ve always wanted… It makes you appreciate it that much more. I have never felt so good in my skin as I do now.
