Is it worth it, let me werk it. Put ya’ thang down flip it and reverse it! Ti esrever dna ti pilf, nwod gniht ym tup. Or at least that’s what Missy Elliott told us to do in 2002. And in 2020, our Kind crew wants you to do the exact same thing. We know a lot of folks in Austin are missing their beloved gyms or want to take advantage of social distancing and have an itch to start werking it, so say less folks, we got you!
Kind has partnered with our local fun, free, and fabulous personal trainer, Erica Nix, to bring you a few bi-weekly workouts that are easy and 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.
So for those that may be just starting or even the folks who have been in the journey of fitness and health for a while, here is a quick and easy work out for you to do. Erica’s gonna start with a warmup and end with a cool down. In between, you’ll have two sequences you can choose to repeat, or not repeat. Don’t forget to stay hydrated, listen to your body, and have fun! You can even make it social and call your friends and do it at the same time, virtually.
P.S. – If anything hurts, please stop doing what hurts immediately. Take breaks whenever you want. Skip any exercise you want. Anytime you just feel done, skip to the end and stretch. LISTEN TO YOUR BODY and DON’T JUDGE IT! Your body is smart and knows what he/she/they need. Below are the exercises listed in the order they appear in the video, along with important points to check in on while werkin’ it!
