Excel (XL) Weight Loss Water Workout
This month we feature a few exercises brought to you by our guest instructor, Carla Jarvis Johnson. Johnson recently designed a workout specifically for weight loss called the Excel (XL) Workout, which is now available through her web site WaterWellnessWorkouts.com. "This workout is designed to meet the mobility needs of the proportionally challenged population," says Johnson. "In consultation with my “Big” sister, Cheryl, the exercises were chosen and modeled by her. The exercises are grouped to produce a workout format which includes Warm Up (flexibility and stretching); Cardio (heart and lungs); Noodles, Barbells, and Wall Supported (toning, strength, and range of motion); and Cool Down (flexibility and stretching). Perform the exercises you can comfortably do and aim toward completing the entire workout as you improve." |  |
| Cross Country Skiing with DeltaBells™ | |
| Hold barbells in your hands and lift your feet from the floor. Begin with your left leg forward and your right leg behind you. Your right arm extends forward and your left arm extends behind you. Extend your right leg forward and your left leg behind you. Your left arm extends forward and your right arm extends behind you. Attempt to reach full extension with your arms and legs while supported off the floor with the equipment. Continue alternating front and back legs, with alternating front to back hands for 45-60 seconds. |  |
| Rocking Horse with the Sqoodle™ | |
| Leap forward and land on your right foot with your left foot remaining elevated behind your back. Hop back on your left foot and lift your right foot from the floor. Repeat for 30-45 seconds. Your upper torso should “rock” forward as you land on your right foot and “rock” backward as you land on your left foot. Push the noodle underwater as you "rock" forward. Change to the left leg forward and right leg in the back and repeat for 30-45 seconds. |  |
| Front to back horizontal row with DeltaBells™ | |
| Begin with your arms in front of your chest. Push both arms forward and down toward the floor at an angle. Return your hands to your chest. Push your hands behind your back and down toward the floor at an angle. Return your hands to your chest and repeat the front and back pattern for 30 seconds. Allow your upper torso to move along with this exercise, but do not move your feet. Caution: Allow your arms to do the work, not your back. |  |
