TYE4 HIIT PLYO WORKOUT VIDEO

BeFunky_Screen Shot TYE4HIIT.jpg

 ♥ LOVE ♥ LOVE ♥ LOVE ♥

Wearing Tye4 while doing jump training is a smart idea.  First, it allows you to jump against resistance, which〈oh my gosh〉makes it harder.  LOTS and LOTS of muscle burn and isolation will occur = greater intensity.  Second, it reduces stress on the joints!  It’s like landing on a trampoline.  This is great news for me considering I have “old knees” and “can’t do jump training anymore without causing terrible inflammation”  I have yet to have an issue after training in the Tye4.

♥ FOR ME, TYE4 MEANS MOVEMENT FREEDOM ♥

HERE ARE THE EXERCISES I PERFORM IN THIS VIDEO…

JUMP SQUATS full movement – touch the ground, then reach as high as you can at the top while jumping.  Don’t cheat here.  Reach the arms high as your back lengthens while in the air.   Modify: touch knees rather than the ground, and eliminate the jump part, just reaching up with the arms.  This is still a great exercise!

JUMPING JACKS  3 variations

  1. standard jack- you will feel this in the upper body b/c the arm bungees creates resistance
  2. triangle jack- no arms, hold leg bungees triangled out to the side, creating resistance for the adductor muscles —» inner thigh
  3. crossed jack- hold leg bungees crossed in front to create resistance for the abductor muscles —» outer thigh

ROTATION JUMP  3 variations

  1. slalom jump – jump right → front → left → front
  2. 90º jump – jump facing back, then back to the front
  3. 360º jump – full turn

SQUAT TRIPPLE TAP JUMP   facing right → squat → tap ground 3x → jump turning to the left.

TYE4® CARDIO WORKOUT 37 MIN VIDEO

IMG_1108

  • This workout has 8 SETS, each containing 2 EXERCISES that will be repeated 2x.
  • 40 seconds ACTIVE
  • 15 seconds ACTIVE REST
  • Wear your Tye4 to ↑ intensity (the sweat factor!) and reduce stress on the joints.
  • Hold leg bungees when doing the 15 second ACTIVE REST part
  • I’m recommending how to use Tye4, but keep in mind you can always ↓ upper body resistance by moving 1 or both hands from loop 1 (closer loop) to loop 2 (outside loop) for a quick change up.

TYE4 HIIT 1 DEMO

HIIT1.jpg

HIIT – high intensity interval training – is definitely trending in 2015 in the world of fitness.  I love this workout and I’ve been loving it even more since I started using Tye4.  The resistance of the bungees takes this workout to a NEW LEVEL… because in does increase intensity… and isn’t that the point of this kind of workout???  My heart rate increases 10-20 beats per minute on EVERY exercise!!!  AND… it removes the stress that high intensity exercises can cause on the joints.  It adds just enough stability to clean up the move and allow for some MAJOR MUSCLE ISOLATION!  I mean, really.  WIN WIN.

PILATES USING TYE4 DEMO 2

Screen Shot 2015-02-13 at 11.47.55 AM

The Pilates exercises in this demo are fantastic, but there are a few problems:

  1. 1. The hip flexors may be over used or stressed
  2. 2.  The abdominals fatigue and the lower back arches which can cause injury
  3. 3. It’s easy to strain the neck in this flexed position.  And it’s just really uncomfortable for many people.

So I got really excited in class today as we found a way to use Tye4 to take care of every one of those issues!!!  The bungee variation I use in this demo assist the hip flexors allowing for a greater abdominal contraction which gives support to the lower back.  Now the hands are freed now to give support to the neck!

BUNGEE VARIATION  I’ve wrapped the leg bungees around the outside of my arms.

PILATES SEQUENCE

  • Double Leg Lower Lift
  • Scissor Kick
  • Alternating Leg Press
  • Mountain Climber

PILATES USING TYE4® DEMO

Screen Shot 2015-02-11 at 5.49.58 PM

 

The Tye4® bungees adds resistance to these Pilates exercises – like Reformer Pilates.

EXERCISES IN THIS DEMO

1. DOUBLE LEG LOWER LIFT::  I’m showing the advanced version – holding leg bungees out to the side on the floor.  To modify, hold leg bungees but sit on your hands and squeeze your glutes (squeeze that butt!)

2.  LEG CIRCLES::  Here I’ve pulled the right arm bungee long and put that hand loop on the left foot.  Hold the bungees connected to the foot together or separate them.  Guide the leg in a circle, retracing each time.  5 each direction.  Keep the hips from rocking.

3.  SCISSOR KICK::  This demo shows an advanced variation.  To modify, don’t hold the leg bungees and reach high up on the leg closer to the chest.

DR. KRAEMER and RICH FRONING

I just got back from the Advocare ADVONATION Conference in Atlanta.  My mind is still spinning!!!  The entire day was just awesome: we had world-class training that I can apply to all areas of my life, we heard from people who have taken claim of their life when they felt hopeless and now are living extraordinary lives with new found freedom.  In addition we got to hear a little “behind the scenes” from the Fittest Man on Earth – 4x CrossFit Champ and non-paid Advocare Endorser RICH FRONING!!!  He could endorse any supplement company but he chooses Advocare.  When asked why he uses it, he simply said, “It Works!”

A Portion of his Biography (read full bio here)

Prior to his appointment at the University of Connecticut, he was a commissioned officer (Captain) in the U.S. Army’s Medical Service Corp and was stationed at the U.S. Army’s Research Institute of Environmental Medicine in Natick, Massachusetts working in military R @ D where he conducted research related to soldier fitness, stress physiology, soldier combat demands, environmental physiology resistance training, and ergonomics. As a research physiologist and biochemist he was the head of the Exercise Biochemistry Laboratory within Exercise Physiology Division.Dr. Kraemer is currently a member and Fellow in the American College of Sports Medicine and has served as a member of the ACSM’s Board of Trustees and Administrative Council. He is a past president of the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA).

Dr. Kraemer was among the first group of members inducted as Fellows in the NSCA in 2007. Dr. Kraemer is also a Fellow in the International Society of Sports Nutrition and the American College of Nutrition. He is also a member of the American Physiological Society and the Endocrine Society.

Dr. Kraemer serves on numerous scientific journal editorial boards and is the current Editor-In-Chief of the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, an Editor for the European Journal of Applied Physiology and an Associate Editor for Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise and is on the Editorial Board for the Journal of Applied Physiology.

Dr. Kraemer has also been a sport science liaison for the United States Olympic Committee to USA tennis, team handball, basketball, wrestling, and soccer. He has also served three different terms as a member of the United States Tennis Association’s (USTA) Sport Science Committee. He has authored and co-authored over 360 peer reviewed manuscripts in the scientific literature related to sports medicine, endocrinology of exercise, nutritional supplementation, exercise, military fitness, sports science, and resistance exercise and training.

Dr Kraemer recently (2012 copyright) published with Dr. Steven Fleck and Dr. Michael Deschenes (UConn Alumnus) a new textbook entitled “Exercise Physiology: Integrating Theory and Application”.

He has also authored or co-authored 10 other books in the areas of strength training and endocrinology of exercise and is working with his colleague, Dr Steven Fleck on a historic 4th Edition of their classic text book, Designing Resistance Training Programs.
