Bunny Hops

This is a shower workout for sure. This little bunny was soaked after this. Only 20 minutes of sweat time and it’s worth any chocolate indulgences you may have had this long weekend :)

What you will need:

Just your sexy self + 1 heavy weight or your Ugi Ball – I used 15 lbs

Warm-Up:

Hoppity Rope + Hurray Easter Squat and Open + Side Hamstring Stretch

Workout: 50 seconds on / 10 seconds rest 4 times through

Bunny Hops– These are little squat jumps forwards and then backwards.
Modification: Step forward and squat for a couple and then step backwards to squat.
Carrot Pulls – Grab one heavy weight and bring your legs wide. Lower into a squat bringing the weight between your legs. Swing the weight up while coming into a standing position. You want the weight to stop at eye height so do this by contracting your abs and butt. Use the power of your legs to swing that weight up; it shouldn’t hurt your arms. Be sure to keep your belly button in tight and squeeze your bum when you come to standing.

Rabbit Crawl– Get onto all fours with your knees just hovering over the ground and then do a small little hop. Land soft with your knees still hovering just an inch or so off the ground. Then walk your hands forward just a little bit. Hop your feet forward again so your knees are back underneath your hips.
Modification: From standing squat down and as you stand raise one leg up in a 90 degree bend. As you lower it to the ground get into a squat again and repeat on the other side.
Alternating Egg Hunt Twists – Get into a high plank with your hands directly under your shoulders you can also do this from your elbows if you need to. Open up your plank so you are now in a side plank raising your open arm high into the air. Make sure your feet are at least hip distance apart so that you can easily open up here. Twist towards a plank position bringing your open arm down and under your body reaching behind you. Place your hand back on the floor and repeat on the other side. You can also do this from your knees. When you open to one side then extend that same leg wide so you expand through your core.
Modification: If you can’t be on your elbows or shoulders then come on to your back and extend your legs straight (or as straight as you can) in the air. Bring your arms out wide beside you to help with balance. Drop your legs to one side making sure your shoulders stay flat on the ground and your core is contracted. This will be a windshield wiper motion.

Cool Down/Stretching

Complete 5-10 minutes of nice gentle stretching.

  I feel like that would be a deterrent for some though :) Not all bunnies are cute and sweet so that part was a little bit of the Donnie Darko bunny :)
