I have created a private playlist on YouTube for each day of the week. Here is how I schedule my workouts in YouTube. Every workout in the rotation below has been reviewed on this blog so you can prepare for it in advance–have your equipment ready and determine how heavy you will be lifting. Or you could just do a different one each Day 7 and never repeat a workout the entire 4 weeks. However, depending on how you feel on that day, you are welcome to just do the gentle mobility/flexibility workout and skip the yoga workout. On your recovery day I do not list either of the workouts as optional. So most days that the workout is 45 minutes or less, I will also offer an optional finisher/add on workout. Since I workout for an hour every morning, I will assume that there are other people who would also like to workout for an hour every day. Other than your recovery day you will do a different workout every day. But those are the only 4 workouts in this rotation that will be repeated. She only has 2 yoga workouts and 2 full length stretch and mobility workouts, so those 4 workouts will be repeated. One of those days will be a recovery day using Heather’s yoga workouts followed by her gentle stretch and mobility workouts. In addition, due to the various lengths of her workouts, you can stack them to create workouts of any length and content you want. But, don’t fret! She also has warm ups and stretches you can use as add ons. She has workouts that include both a warm up and a stretch, workouts that just have a stretch and workouts that have neither. Heather has workouts as short as 5 minutes and as long as over an hour though the standard length is 30-40 minutes. For the workouts used in this rotation, you need a wide variety of dumbbells, a fitness mat, kettlebell(s), a chair, a booty band, ankle weights and a fitness mat. She does have some workouts that use booty bands, a stability ball, kettlebells and resistance bands but those are only a small percentage of her workouts. Most of her workouts require nothing more than a few sets of dumbbells and a fitness mat. You do not need a lot of equipment to do Heather’s workouts. The majority of Heather’s workouts are metabolic strength workouts–you will build strength and muscle while also burning lots of calories. This is important because you cannot always have your eyes on the TV for every exercise (for example, push ups). There are little beeps that alert you to the beginning and end of an interval. No just mentally prepare but also you can gauge and choose what weight you will need to perform the next exercise. During the recoveries Heather previews the next/upcoming exercise so that you can prepare. First, there are timers on the screen that count down your intervals and your recoveries. She has also created a video with examples of how to modify some of her exercises to make them easier.Įven though there is no verbal cuing, there are a lot of other ways Heather cues you in her workouts. However, if you are intent on doing this rotation (or Heather’s workouts), she has created a short form video. If you need modifications and do not know how to modify exercises, then Heather’s workouts, and therefore this rotation, are not for you. And you can make any workout easier through modifications. You can obviously make any workout more or less challenging by using heavier or lighter dumbbells that are more appropriate to your strength level rather than just using whatever Heather is using. And second, they are all challenging workouts. First, you need to know how to perform all of these exercises with proper form because Heather gives no form instruction. ![]() These workouts are not for beginners for several reasons. Heather performs every exercise in the workout and all you do is follow her perfect form. The majority of her workouts are also interval based. ![]() They are set to excellent and motivating music. The majority of her workouts have no verbal cuing. Heather is fitness model, fitness trainer and nutrition coach. I am also structuring this rotation in a way that feels logical for me.Ī little bit about Heather and her workouts (a lot of this is copied from Heather’s trainer page). But I consider the workouts collected in this rotation to be her best. Now, this was very hard because I haven’t done a Heather Robertson workout that I haven’t liked. What makes this rotation different, is that I am using all of my favorite Heather Robertson workouts. Heather has already created quite a few rotations using her own workouts. She is one of my favorite trainers and creates some of the most effective and most enjoyable workouts out there. I have done more of Heather Robertson’s YouTube workouts than any other trainer on YouTube.
