Previously titled: Fun Floating Reps for Cardio
Everyone let's do 10 minutes of cardio. Yep. I don't enjoy doing cardio So I'm gonna try and make this as fun as possible All right, we're gonna work on some floats You might have done some floats in the start program or some of the other videos We're gonna really break them down and work on a few today It's it definitely ties you out if you've not done them before Works your shoulders bit of legs as well bit of everything but a core and it's just good fun. All right, so We're gonna start off on all fours and just to begin with just to kind of warm the shoulders up a little bit Just shrug your shoulders back and forwards here almost like someone's asking you a question and you don't know you're like I don't know shrugging your shoulders up and then away from your ears up and then away Good now keeping your arms nice and straight drop your chest shrug your shoulders back Then push your chest through your back and drive your shoulders forwards and just do a few of them Good now think about your weight in your hands at the moment my shoulders are over my hands I'm just gonna bring my shoulders Forwards a bit so almost like my shoulders are above my fingertips.
Then I'm gonna use my fingertips I'm gonna push them down in the mat and drive my shoulders away. I'm gonna leave my shoulders forwards again Push my fingertips down To bring my weight back All right And that is kind of like our safety feature when you start doing floats and you get a little too high These are gonna really help you push that weight back. So just do a few of them Good just you're getting used to and you'll really feel it in the bottoms of your forearms start to work almost like you've been going Through like a deep battle with someone and you've kept that grip for too long and your arms burn up That's kind of what you're gonna feel Good okay now tuck your toes behind you lift yourself up to down dog and just walk one heel at a time down each side stretch out the calves and everything Good, so let's work on some floats. So what I mean by float is I'm gonna drop my weight down I'm gonna go into a bit of a squat Then I'm gonna lift up as I lift up my feet come up and I'm gonna come up so it's this you come up And back down.
Okay, so to begin with that might look a little Like that or something because you're not confident. That's fine. We're gonna go over a few it's probably gonna work your legs a little bit and Your balance and hopefully you'll enjoy it and come back and do it again. So tuck your toes into that downward position So first things first don't jump too high and don't jump too hard Just try and focus on lifting your feet a bit.
So jump up And back down think about how strong were you in the shoulders then? Were you pushing everything into the mat and pushing through and trying to keep strong? Probably not. You probably just kind of thudded the mat Which is fine.
We're gonna do that to begin with so let's come down again Lift up push think about being strong in the shoulders lift And back down good come back up Back down. All right. Now we're gonna think about Shortening our dog a little bit. So I'm here take a little step forward sit down into a squat All right now lift up lift the bum and try and keep the heels towards the bum.
So up kick back down Let's go again up kick back down two more Maybe get a little higher each time Remember those breaks if you need them good drop your knees give your wrists a little twirl around kind of a little rest Good other direction Okay, let's go again. So up to that dog. Maybe make that dog a little shorter Look toward your hands drop your hips now shoot the hips up Now shoot the hips up think shoulders are gonna go over your wrists and then you're aiming to get your hips Over that okay. So let's go up back down up Back down up Back down good two more doesn't matter if you're jumping like this it still counts.
Let's go up back down one more Back down nice back on your knees Work the wrists shake the hands around a little bit Maybe sit the shoulders around Definitely works the heat Try and teach and talk and do it at the same time Okay Back to all fours tuck the toes lift the hips think about being strong in the shoulders this time Push your hands into the mat Shorten the dog squat down look at your hands and what you'll think this time is Shoulders then hips. Okay, so up down up down up Down two more keep going Use those breaks last one and down And down Good sit in a squat this time Move from side to side or just sit in a squat move your wrists around Do the old vandal a silver Used to do it when it came down didn't he psyching everyone out Good get ready to go again Okay, really think about Getting a bit of height. All right, not kicking the cabinet or The dog on your way around or anything. Just be careful of what's around you.
You don't land on anyone or anything Tuck the toes lift the hips Shorten the dog Squat down look towards your hands Driving that way into the mat nice and strong in the shoulders push push push. Let's lift back down four more Good Two more I think heels to bum back down Kick up heels to bum back down. Nice Sit down on your bum Move from side to side Okay these Took me forever to get better at and it's just confidence It's just time in it jumping up back down jump up back down Maybe jump up stumble a bit back down. But always just think the more time you spend doing something the better you're gonna get.
Okay a few more windshield wipers Slow that breath down Okay, we've got one more set We're gonna do ten. Okay, if that's ten little jumps, that's ten little jumps Or if that's ten attempt then that's ten attempts So we're gonna go up down up down for ten Think about using those brakes think about coming forwards shoulders over your wrists hips above that if you can Okay Heels to your bum and if you need to you got those brakes to push down in the mat Driving your heels back down towards the mat will take you down as well. Okay, kind of like a counterweight Good up to dog Shorten that dog Squat down. Why did I say ten prepare?
Okay, remember to breathe Let's go, okay ten Nine Eight Seven breathe Six five four three Two One down good one more Good on your bum Keep that breath going windshield wipers slowing you down And like anything like this, okay when you get tired And you don't think about your breath you don't think about calming down You panic you make mistakes you don't listen to your body and that's that's what carries over to jujitsu All right, if someone's got you in a bad position and you panic you get tired. That's when you give them openings That's when you tap. Okay, so work on your cardio work and calm yourself down with your breath Slowing that heart rate down and it's going to help your game. Okay, keep working these do this again It's a really good way to get some reps in focus on those floats looks cool.
