WOW, COW, and MEOW

"WOW"s, "COW"s, and "MEOW"s are ways to challenge yourself on a weekly basis. Here is the workout, challenge, and mobility exercise of the week for June 8-14. Try to do each one at least once.



WOW: Workout Of the Week
  • 5 pullups 
  • 10 pushups
  • 15 burpees
  • Sprint 30 seconds
  • Rest 1 minute
  • Repeat 5x
    • Modify movements as needed
COW: Challenge Of the Week

  • Step out of your comfort zone and try a new class this week (e.g. Aquatics, Zumba, Crossfit, Barre, Turbokick, TRX,  Hip Hop Twerk, etc.).  There are so many ways to challenge yourself physically, and trying something new will challenge your brain as well.  Grab a friend or go solo and meet new people.  Don't be afraid to look dumb!
MEOW: Mobility Exercise Of the Week
  • Most of us are tight in our upper back, or thoracic spine; especially if we sit at a desk and use a computer most of the day.  Below is a great exercise to mobilize each segment along the T-spine.  You can do this multiple times a day.  I recommend following it up with a nice, easy child's pose for 60-90 seconds.
