TYE4® HIIT PLYO WORKOUT

 ♥ 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 HIIT 1 DEMO

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

 

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.

TYE4 CHEST/TRICEP WORKOUT PREVIEW

We just spent a great week in the cool little German town my parents live in – New Braunfels, Tx.  It’s a tourism town and a GREAT place to visit!  There are two rivers that run through the town, and I couldn’t help but use both of them as a backdrop for your next workout videos :).  First, we filmed behind Bubba’s Big Deck at Gruene River Co., right on the Guadalupe River.  It’s a gorgeous location with it’s huge old trees, the river rapids and the interesting wildlife all around.  In the summer months, this is an awesome place to tube the river, kayak or just hang at the bar and watch all the river traffic pass.

LEG EXERCISE – STABILITY BALL WORKOUT

STABILITY BALL WORKOUT 
 
This is a great exercise to add to LEG DAY.
Grab an stability ball and jump into this leg workout with me.  It’s gentle on the knees and will make your hamstrings scream!
 

  • Don’t forget to warm-up and stretch before you begin.
  • If your muscles begin cramping, releaserub it– and rest the muscle unit feels better.  Then you can begin again.  If this happens, be encouraged that each time you perform this you are STRENGTHENING & CONDITIONING your legs, and that cramping will stop as you get stronger!

Now I’m doing this series using Tye4®!  We can use the bungees to help balance and control the movements OR make it tons more challenging!!  Check out the demo below ↓↓↓
