Valerie Waters: Hi! I’m Valeire Waters. Most people think that they need to do choose between their cardio or their strength workout. Well, I’m going to you how you how to do both at once, you’re going to burn a tone of calories and you’re going to built the shape at the same time and you can do this in your living room as I’m going to do in mine.
So, you’re going to need couple of little things, you’re going to need a step and you’re going to need a pair of dumbbells, which I’m going to use for the arms. We’re going start with the step with a basic step-up, stepdown, okay such as right leg up and right leg down. I’m going to get 10 on this leg and then I’m going to switch and you’re going to see very quickly that I’m going to be getting not to breath, which means I’m raising my heart rate, if I’m burning a lot of calories. The same time, I’m strengthening the muscles in my legs and then in my gluteus because it’s challenging to be going up and down on this step and 10 that’s perfect other side and right into it hard to get.
So, don’t be afraid if you start breathing hard right at the beginning that’s the idea this is a very cardio workout, good. Just up and down and you can see I never well in those step classes, so I like the real basic just up and down and that’s it. Now, we’re going to go lateral side step, which is going to work a little more inner thigh, so here we go; going up to balance.
So I’m working my leg and my gluteus and a little bit of inner thigh and that’s it. We’re not going to have you turning around or spin in stick to the basis that’s it. Nine, and ten good, come right around to the other side and you go. 1, 2, now if you ever thought that you needed to catch your breath in between legs that’s okay, you go the rest of your belly and little bit stronger, so I got rested. Excellent, 8, 9, and 10 that’s perfect. Now, I’m going to do, I just caught the up and over, this is about as fancy as I get one foot on the step, starts there and I’m just going to switch places, so I go down up and over -- up and over and touch and touch and touch good.
Now go as slow as you need to do to keep it under control good, and as your balance you can kind of reach your arms out a little bit; two more okay, one more excellent. Now I’m going to go right into a launch kick, see I’m breathing here not kicking around here sort of like I no mess around workout so go get myself in a nice reverse launch, I get my balance first, and then up and kick, balance and kick, going to 10 oops! See I’m wobble a little, so when I take my time I want to get centered, go again, and go again. So, the knee comes up, snap it over, snap it over, and ten right into the other side a while a little so I take -- to get center go again, go again so the knee comes up snap it over, snap it over and 10 right into the other side, no time is right, let's got breathe in the heart good, 8, 9, excellent.
I’m going to right into arms, I’m going to grab my pair of five pound dumbbells right here and I’m going to call these punch across, let’s get for the back of your shoulders and then front of your shoulders, it’s up and over. See when I go above, I high, good. This is one of those fake workouts and see I’m really working here and one more each way excellent right into biceps curls, going to 15, so I’m working my arms, it is great if you’re wearing like sleeveless dresses things like that, and you want your arms to look nice, but then you feel strong when you’re doing this getting power to you, good. One more, and I’m going right into kick back, which works to triceps.
So it’s a squeeze we have a nice flat back here, your abs are tight, and I’m squeezing my arms, 10; now these weights are light and go another way to 15, 13 again if you can do that, maybe that’s okay and 15. Set these down as you can see that is my strength cardio workout. Thank you for joining me.
