Try this at-home circuit workout from world-champion volleyball player Rachael Adams
Rachael Adams
Hi. My name is Rachael Adams, and I'm a world-class volleyball player, and today, I'm gonna take you through an at home circuit.
It's something you can do, obviously, at home and without weights. And it's going to have a warm up and a cool down. So, let's get your body moving.
I know that is the hardest part – getting up and committing to something, but commit to this, and I promise you won't regret it.
Get your body moving, get the blood flowing, and we're going to feel good and accomplished after this.
So, let's go.
And when you're done with this workout, do not forget to congratulate yourself for showing up.
It's not easy to do these things, and it takes a lot of self-motivation to show up for yourself during these moments. So make sure you celebrate yourself.
Doesn't matter if you're perfect. If you weren't perfect, if you messed up, celebrate what you did and the work that you put in because you got one percent better and you should be proud of yourself.
And do not forget to hydrate. Bye!
