10-Minute No-Jumping Strength

Sam Cameranesi
Duration:   15  mins

Description

If you are looking for a low-impact, high-results workout, then this is the one for you! In just 10 minutes, this workout will focus on strength training, form, and control while activating your muscles and giving your joints a break with no jumping involved. For this workout, all you will need are a set of light and medium/heavy dumbbells. Trainer Sam Cameranesi will be using eight-pound and twelve-pound dumbbells throughout today’s workout.

In this 10-minute workout, trainer Sam Cameranesi will walk you through the basic movements of each move first. As soon as you’ve spent some time perfecting the movement, you will add another movement onto the base move that requires more muscle groups. For example, starting with the lower body, your basic squat. The basic squat then becomes a squat into a lunge (forward or reverse, you get to decide). But don’t worry, you’re not quite done there. Build again one more time, and this exercise will become a squat into a lunge with an overhead press. That’s right, the final progression becomes a total body movement that also includes more core engagement.

This no-jumping strength workout is a total body workout. Sam will work each body part to fatigue. Starting with a lower-body progression, you’ll work the quads and glutes before moving on to an upper-body series. Once the upper body has been fatigued and a few different muscle groups have been worked, it’s time to hit the lower body in a whole new way! The upper body will be worked again, and we will end with a little bit of core work. But don’t be fooled! The end isn’t the only time you are getting core and abdominal work. Throughout this workout, by working single-sided movements with the dumbbell, you are forced to use your core muscles to find balance.

Throughout this low-impact strength training, the goal is to focus on proper form and alignment to ensure proper engagement and use of the muscles. While maintaining low impact on the joints, you will be surprised to see how high you can get your heart rate up! Just like that, in 10 minutes you are going to work up a good sweat and feel the burn without doing a single plyometric movement!

    Just what I needed

Good morning, Get Healthy U TV. My name is Sam Cameranensi, and I'm going to be your Get Healthy U TV trainer for the next 10 minutes. We have 10 minutes of "No Jumping Strength". Yap, You've heard it, no jumping. So we're gonna be focusing on strength today. Low impact on the joints, does not mean it's not going to get your heart rate up there or we gonna be low impact on the joints. Really focusing on your control with the strength building, exercise that we have today. So, today what you're gonna need is a probably medium to have you set a weight, and then maybe a lighter set. I have with me, 12ths and eighths, with the shoulder injury the eighths are just mid perfect. For one of those movements that I have planned for us today. So, we're gonna start with a little bit of a warmup reaching, find the bottom of your squat, hands go overhead, reach those arms down, waking up that body. Right? So we're just gonna do a quick warm up today because we have 10 minutes, right? If you need a little bit more of that warmup then take a few seconds, right? Warm up your body a little bit more before you're ready to move and grow, right? now, switch arms. One arm comes forward. Swing the opposite arm, right there waking up those shoulder joints because we're gonna be working on those. Flap your arms a few times, right here. Good, we're gonna walk our feet together. Hands go overhead. Reach those harms to the ground. You're gonna walk yourself into a high plank. Just hold it there for a second. Good, now you're gonna bring one foot, opposite hand, reaches up toward the sky. Bring that hand back down to the ground. Find that high plank and stretch opposite foot comes forward or reach that arm to the sky, press it back down. Do one more, both sides. Opening up those hip flexors, press it back one more just like that. Good, hold that high plank. You're gonna draw your knees down this center for a few mountain climbers, waking up that heart rate, waking up the backside of your glutes. you got four, three, two, and one. Walk your hands back to your feet. Open up your feet. Find the bottom of your squat. Just waking up those hip flexors a little bit more good, right there. Roll your body up, a few squats to get us started. And then we're going to rock and roll for those 10 minutes right here. Good, gimme four more squats like that, reach those arms overhead for the last three. Yes, two and one good, we are ready to start your 10 minutes. So, right in this first movement we are going to need one weight. You're gonna front rack the weight on your shoulder, Opposite hand comes out for a little bit of that stability. We're gonna start with single arm, front rack squat. Join me in three, two, one. So, butt goes back. Find the bottom of your squat. Stand back up. We're gonna be adding onto this. So, one arm seats in this front rack position the entire time you keep going I'm gonna face you. So, butt goes back, just these tall, right? We're not leaning our chest forward. Chest is lifted as you send your butt back, you keep going right there. Good, I'm gonna come face you again, right here. We're gonna add onto this movement. Give me two lift, two more like this, last one. Stand up, now give me one squat and one forward lunch right there. Front squat, lift, one forward lunch, right there. Now, if that does not feel good on your joints maybe you give me a back lunch. So you step back, or whatever works for you but I need you staying on that same leg. Now we're adding on again. Yes. Squat, low, press high. Keep that arm overhead as you launch forward. So now, we're working a lot of muscle groups together. Yes. Total body, shrink pork here. Are you feeling this in your legs? Yes, I hope so. Core stays tight, Spine stays long as you find that 90, 90 launch. Can you give me two more? Yes, you can, one right here, step forward or back, last one right here. Breathe, good drop that weight Switch arms, front rack position with the opposite arm. Here we go, yes more legs. It's down, and up right here. So, starting with just the quads the glutes in your squat right here. We're focusing on chesting tall, but going back you find your own pace, right? If you ever need ditch the weight altogether. Yes, right here. Opposite arm out, for a little bit of that stabilization. Can you give me one more we're adding on, right here, squat low. Yes, keep that arm in that front rack Position. Find the low squat. Now I'm gonna drop my weight, to show you from the side. Right? Is one squat, right here, step forward. You should be in that 90, 90 lunge. Step back, no. If you would like, step back with that leg. Every single time you're choosing the same leg to come forward. Last one, that we bring in that overhead press, it's down. Press up, step forward and back, down. Press up, heart rate coming up, and we're not even jumping. Yes, right here, You've got this two more, down, up, step forward, down, up, step forward. Grab both set of weights, we're gonna move it on down to the ground for renegade row. So, you're gonna find a high plank position. Join me right here. You row, down, row, down. Now, if you need a few more seconds of rest, right? Take it and join me when you're ready. If you need, knees come down. Separate your knees just a little bit so that your hips come forward and they're not back here. Right? Hips are still forward. If you're on your knees, right here, working into that back, arms, chest, breathe. Right here, two more, each side. That's four, total. Give me one right here, last one. Now, here you know, row, tricep pick back, row and down, row, tricep kick back, row and down. I'll show you from your knees. It's one, press back. One release, row, press back, row release. Now notice whether I'm on my knees or whether I'm on my toes, right? Hips are not moving because you're engaging the core. Can you feel those triceps? I know. Stay with it, good drop it down. Pull high, you have one more, each side, right here. Good, stay with it, We're back to that lower body in three, two, one, stand up and upgrub one weight. We have asymmetric goblet squats. So, I want you to hold this weight right in front of your chest. You dig? one leg out to the side. So, I want a kind of, out to the side, knees out but you're super light in this side. All of your weight, is heavy on this front leg. You're gonna slowly squatted down one, two, back up, one, two. So this one is just here for that kickstand. And I need you staying in that front leg. Now again, maybe ditch the weight, maybe drop him out together. Or maybe you find a lighter weight, whatever, what's best for you but in this one I want you to try more a little bit heavier, yes make sure that you were just kick-standing that opposite leg right here. Good squeeze, two more like that. One, two, slow and steady. Last one, quickly grab your lighter set of weights. We're gonna stand back up same legs to the one that was working that was forward, We're gonna stay on it. You're going to lunge back and they're gonna swing those arms to shoulder height. So it's lunch and swing, join you right here you are strong. Now we're going to fatigue, this front leg. There are a little bit of a swing in your arms, but I don't want the movement to come from your arms helps you lift off in that front or working leg. Give me four, breathe, three.
