This week I wanted to try something a little bit different. I wanted to share with you a cult fit workout
0:15
So if you're recovering from a little bit of festival indulgence over the holidays and maybe you've made some New Year's resolutions
0:22
to get in shape in 2017, then the Colt Fit home workout is for you
0:27
You don't need any special equipment to get started. start just use stuff you find around the house plus your iPhone and your Apple Watch
0:33
if you have one and in this video I'm gonna show you how to do it with week
0:37
one of a four week program we call it cult fit it's absolutely for beginners if
0:42
you've never done any training before this workout is for you so you ready
0:50
here's week one of the cult fit home workout this week what I have for you is
0:55
five exercises which we're gonna do in a circuit with two laps so we're going to do each exercise twice and we're going to have a 30 second
1:03
rest between each exercise before we get started just a little bit of a plug
1:08
the cult fit program you can download on to your Apple Watch or your iPhone using my app reps and sets and you find it free on the app store and there a link to it on the web page accompanying this video
1:20
So first a quick warm up before we do have first exercise to make sure everything's working properly
1:25
Not your head. Yes. Side to side with your head. Just as far as it goes comfortably
1:36
Then rotate your up half. And side to side of your armagh
1:51
And then finally reach towards your toes as far as it's easy to go
2:00
Now I'm back and if that all felt good you're ready to get started
2:05
First, prison squats. You don't have to go to prison for this. You can't have to go to prison for this. You could
2:10
can do prison squats anywhere, it's perfectly legal. Prison squats are great for your quads and your hamstrings and your glutes
2:17
You can make this as easy or as hard as you want by deciding how deep you go
2:22
but only go as far as it comfortable for you You shouldn push it any harder than that So our next exercise is a classic It a push up So you lie on your tummy on the floor with your legs out behind you and push upwards like this
2:41
Now if you're finding that the push-ups are too hard, then you can do half push-ups. So with these
2:48
you keep your knees down the whole time and you just raise the up half of your body. But if even that's too hard
2:54
then you can modify it again, make it easier still, by doing wall push-ups
2:59
So you literally just stand in front of the wall like this, lean towards it
3:03
put both your hands against the wall, and basically lower yourself towards the wall
3:08
and push yourself away. That's one. Next up, tricep dips. You find a chair or a surface that's like really steady
3:17
Basically assume a position so that your legs are in a straight line with your torso
3:21
and your holdings in yourself up with your hands behind, and slowly lower yourself down like that and back up again
3:28
That's one. If that's a bit hard, then you can make it easier by using a higher surface
3:33
Like here I'm going to use the edge of a table. One two three Now we going to give our backs and punishment with a one row And your back is used for pulling motion when you pulling things towards you So this is one where we do kind of need some
3:52
weight to lift. And I'm going to use a bag. Put one hand on the stool with the other hand
3:59
hold a bag and then slowly pull the bag towards you, keeping it close to your side
4:05
You also want to do both sides. One, two, Three. Last exercise for this week is the plank
4:14
And it's called the plank because if you do it right you look like a plank and how hard could that be
4:20
Very hard. You push up from your elbows and your forearms like this
4:28
Keep your body all aligned in a straight line and that's it
4:40
