Take Some Time for This 12-Minute Unilateral Strength Interval Workout
While the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has halted the cadence of everyday life for just about everyone, the world is now beginning to adjust. We're all handling the challenges of social distancing and self-isolation differentlybut that doesn't mean that we have to go it completely alone in every sense.
Take Some Time for This Quick Interval Workout
David Freeman , national program manager of Life Time's Alpha program, hosted the latest session from his home. The strength interval workout will challenge you to use your muscles and work as hard as possible in short bursts of effort.
You'll need a kettlebell for this workout, or some other load that can be handled in the same way. Most of the session will be focused on unilateral work, so get ready to focus on both sides of your body. The whole session only takes about 12 minutes once you get to workbut if you move with the type of intention Freeman does, you'll be challenged to your limits.
His theme for the session is T.I.M.E., an acronym that stands for Teach Inspire Motivate Empower. "You want to think of how you're using your time," says Freeman. "You can make all the money in the world because you're so focused on your work, but if you don't have the health to be around to spend all that money, what're you working for?... You need to be in your best mind, body, and soul before you can be your best."
