All For The Love
Print Workout Here
Cupid couldn’t help herself and just wanted to be a part of today’s workout. It’s themed For St. Valentine (obviously!) and it’s got a great burn factor. Enjoy your 22 minutes with cupid!
What you will need:
- Just your sexy self + weights if you want I would suggest 8-10lbs
Warm-Up:
- Heart Arms with Squats + ½ Heart Side Lunge + Jump Hugs
Workout: 50/10 3x thru each set
Set 1
- Chocolate Box Jumps – You will be doing jump squats in a box shape. Be sure to push off and move quickly through it. The lower the better but the key is to move as fast as you can through it. Switch directions each time you move through your box.
Modification: If you have knee or back problems eliminate the jumps and either do stationary squats or squat and step in circles. - Proposal Lunges – Get in to a proposal position. Put your arms straight out in front of you like you’re holding a ring out. From here lift through your front heel and back leg so your knee comes just a couple inches off the floor. This is a small movement. We will switch half way thru the move.
Modification: If you can’t be on your knee or this is too challenging then from standing step back into a back lunge and pulse there then switch legs half way. Keep your arms stretched out in front of you still though.
Set 2
- X & O Jumps – Stand with your legs apart and arms wide and high, so you look like an X. Jump your legs in together and squat down while bringing your arms in front of you in an O shape. Keep you abs in nice and tight here. If you can’t jump this then step in and out in the same positions.
- Come Hither Raises – Get in your back and bend your knees so your feet are flat on the floor and only about 8 inches from your bum – or however far/close is comfortable. Make sure your toes are up and you dig down with your heels. Roll your hips back so your back is flat on the ground – this is a pelvic tilt. Once you have rolled your hips and flattened your back you have now engaged your glutes and abs so you will work the much more effectively. You will then raise your hips as high as you can in the air then open your legs wide in a clam shell motion. Bring your knees back together and then lower your hips. Reset the move by doing a pelvic tilt.
Modification to make it harder: Grab a weight and put it on your hips bones.
Set 3
- Cupid Pull Backs – Sit on your bum in a v-sit position. Place your heels on the floor to help with balance and not shifting through your hips. Extend your arms out in front of you and then twist your body to the right while also bringing your right arm back in an arrow motion – basically your like Katniss. Be sure to squeeze through your upper back so you really getting your back. Bring your arms back to centre and repeat on the other side.
Modification: You can also do this cross legged and sit up taller to help if it bothers your hips.
- Heart Legs – Laying on your back extend your legs up towards the sky. You are going to drop them to one side and then draw a heart moving from side to side. Go in both directions.
Modification: Lay on your back and be sure to get your back as flat as you can. You are then going to keep your legs more in line with your hips and draw hearts with both legs so you will go in each direction with each leg at the same time. Start in the middle and fan them out to either side. You will be moving more through your knees and ankles than your full leg.
Cool Down/Stretching
- Complete 5-10 minutes of nice gentle stretching.
High Fives For Lovable Times!

hahaha glad I could help bring some spice into your long weekend lady! :)
Just did this one now. Been a long hiatus. Going to try evening workouts… I dunno. We shall see.
Great job Jackie! I’m proud you got to sneak this one in. I know how busy you are. Try those after-work workouts, they may be easier for ya!
LOL I love that you did this Vday themed!! Made it fun!!!! Thanks Nicole!
I love my themes!! Glad you enjoyed the silliness of it :)
Good workout! So nice to see Nicole and one of her helpers again!
I’m glad!! We miss her and her silliness here!
That was a sweaty one! Really liked the stretch at the end, my hips have been so tight, it felt great to give them a good stretch.
If your hips are really tight, there’s a chance your quads are really tight and that could be pulling on your knee joint! Take some time stretching for sure!! Glad you enjoyed that.
