Hey squirrel friends! Welcome back to Werk it Out with Erica Nix! We’re back back back back again with a workout to get that blood flowing and your body moving. Kind Clinic has partnered with our local fun and fabulous personal trainer, Erica Nix, to bring you fun and easy workouts that can be done in your own home! For over a decade, Erica has been a bright and raucous force in the community, with her well documented performance art, beloved photography, and work as a queer and trans-inclusive body positive activist and personal trainer.
Today, we’re gonna do a Chabata Workout! That’s right! You heard me correctly. You say Tabata. I say Chabata. If you’re familiar with the Tabata way of doing things, it’s usually 8 exercises for 20 seconds and 10 seconds of recovery. We’re gonna do this Chabata workout with 30 seconds on, and 10 seconds of recovery. Now let’s get started!
First, let’s check our alignment. Ideally, you want your ankles, knees, hips, shoulder, and ears all lined up.
Tip: If you know what you’re doing and want to skip the workout explanations, just start the video around 21 minutes after you warm up. Or go ahead and do the workout twice with me! If you are wiped out after the first round, just skip to the cool down and stretch.
