Body-weight, Yoga-Inspired Workout

(Last Updated On: January 2, 2022)

There are times when our bodies crave movement but not the jumpy, high-energy types of movement. There are many people who prefer not to perform exercises based on jumps either due to a past injury or joint strain in the lower body. If that’s you or if you love yoga this yoga-inspired workout is perfect for you. Inspired by my jungle surrounding in Minca, Colombia and this gorgeous property I came up with this calm, yoga-inspired workout which is perfect for waking up the body and getting it going. This workout also aims to strengthen, tone and activate the major muscles in the body.

Ideally, perform each ‘set’ 3-4 times for best results.

YOGA- INSPIRED WORKOUT:

DEEP SQUAT/SUMO SQUAT

Stand up straight with your feet a little more than shoulder-width apart and your toes facing slightly outwards. Squat down as low as you can and come up again. Remember to keep the movement strong and controlled. Make sure your knees don’t go further forward than your toes. Repeat for 20 reps.

PLANK TO DOWN DOG

Both of these positions form such a fundamental part of a yoga-inspired workout. Start in a plank position with your hands firmly on the ground or on a towel/mat. Push back through your arms, pushing your hips back and upwards into a down dog position. Come back to plank again and repeat. Repeat for 20 reps.

REVERSE LUNGES WITH KNEE-UP

Stand up straight and bring your knee up to your chest. From this position, in one swift motion move that same leg back into a lunge position. Make sure to keep your hips neutral. Bring the leg back up and the knee back towards the chest. This exercise is great for your core strength- make sure to keep it engaged so you don’t lose your balance. Repeat 12 reps on each leg.

PLANK WALK UPS

A great move in any yoga inspired workout. Get back into plank position. Then lower your position onto your elbows. Push back into your hands again. Make sure to keep your hips square and your body straight. Repeat for 15 reps.

GLUTE BRIDGE

Lie down flat on your back on a towel or mat. Bend your knees with your heels fairly near your glutes. Push down into the ground with your feet and lift your hips up so that your body is aligned. Bring the hips down and repeat. Repeat for 15 reps.

LEG RAISES

Lie down flat on your back, ideally on a mat or towel. Engage your core and lift your legs up so they are at a 90-degree angle with your body. Slowly bring them back down again. Don’t hold your breath. Keep breathing normally. Repeat 20 times.

English summer camera roll 🇬🇧While most Brits yearn to be out of the country for the summer, it’s been a good 10 years since I spent a summer in London. Safe to say it’s nice being back at this time of year and enjoying everything the UK has to offer. ✨To those asking no I will not be staying once it gets cold 😅#britishsummer #britishsummertime #summerinbritain #englandtravel #ukpotd

The best kinda mornings involve getting up at sunrise for a hot spring soak surrounded by jungle. One of my favorite places in Colombia for a spot of morning wellness. 📍 Termales Santa Rosa de Cabal #termalessantarosadecabal #santarosadecabal #termalessantarosa #colombiatravel #visitcolombia

One of the things I love about travel? Never really knowing where you’ll end up. You can plan every little detail in an itinerary and still end up somewhere unexpected. We never planned to end up in Lecce but this fascinating mini-Rome in Southern Italy could not have been more stunning. Filled with baroque architecture, stone alleyways and the most magical centro storico, Lecce is a definite must! Make sure to add it to your southern Italy itinerary. Where was the last place you visited that blew you away? #lecce #leccecity #igerslecce #lecceitaly #lecceview

Found the perfect hot tub in the Costa Rican jungle for an afternoon of self care and relaxation. As much as I love exploring, adventure and being on my feet all day, these slow experiences come just as welcoming nowadays. Do you guys schedule time for self care when traveling? #costaricapuravida #costaricacool #costaricagram #costaricatravel #lafortuna #
