20 Home Workout Supersets You Will Not Find Anywhere | Full Body Workout | Day 29
Just in case, you want to proceed with the home superset workout, then you can either watch the below workout video or read the instructions given below the video to follow all the instruction carefully.
Superset 1 Push Up to Toe Touch (30 Seconds)
If you are able to figure out this superset judging by its title, then you can start working on it. If you are confused or rather want to just read instructions before proceeding ahead with the superset, then you can read below.
Here are the steps for doing Push Up To Bent Toe Touch:
Step 1: Do a push-up and pump your body in the upward direction once your chest is touching the ground
Step 2: Stand up with your back bent towards your legs and try touching your toes with your hands or palms
Step 3: Go back down to do a push-up and then repeat the above superset
Step 4: Keeping repeating the motion of the exercise until the time limit elapses
Superset 2 Squat to Reverse Jumping Jacks (30 Seconds)
Before beginning with this superset I would like to clarify the motion and/or meaning of reverse jumping jacks. Usually, a jumping jack begins by keeping both legs close to each and joint. The next part of a jumping jack includes jumping to keep your legs wide apart from each other and clapping above your head with the help of your hands (palms).
However, a reverse jumping jack is just the opposite. Instead of jumping and keeping your legs wide apart, you will already be in a position, wherein your legs will be wide apart and have to come back in a posture in which your legs are joint. At the same time, the beginning position of your hands will be above your head and they have to come back to their respective sides as soon as your legs are joint and you are in an "attention" posture.
Moving back to the squat to reverse jumping jack superset, here is how you have to do it:
Step 1: Do a squat by keeping your hands behind your head and bending your knees so that you can sit down completely in the air without touching the ground. Do keep your knees aligned with your toes and make sure your knees don't go ahead of your toes.
Step 2: Come back up from the squat position and do a reverse jumping jack
Step 3: Repeat squat and reverse jumping jacks until you time limit elapses
