    15-MIN CORE AND SHOULDERS WORKOUT

    ALL LEVELS / core and shoulders workout / 15 minutes

    Equipment: Plyo box

    Plyo boxes are a versatile and fun way to create differentiated and challenging workouts. We’ve seen how they work last month, with a glutes and legs workout provided precisely by our friend Angelica Cavazos, a personal trainer based in Vienna. This month, we will prove that it can also be a valuable asset if you’re building upper body strength.

    In a quick but intense session with just 2 exercises that you will perform for 5 rounds, you’ll get the chance to work on those upper body muscles. Especially, because you’ll repeat 10 times on each side. These are supersets, meaning that only when you finish one exercise you can move to the next one. And this is actually the most effective way to build muscle and strength: with a lot of repetitions of the same exercises — even in functional workouts or, as we like to call it, the EVO way.

    WORKOUT EXERCISE LIST

    5 rounds

    1 – BOX PIKE WALK TO PLANK

    10 reps on each side

    • Start by putting your feet on the Plyo box, hands at shoulder-width in the floor, at a 90º degree angle. 
    • Keep your legs and arms straight. That’s your starting position.
    • Walk with your hands forward until your body is in a straight line. Then, come back to the starting position. 
    • Use the right hand first to help you move forward. That’s one rep. 
    • Perform 10 reps with your right hand before changing to your left.

    2 – BOX PIKE SHOULDER TAPS

    10 reps on each side

    • Again, start by putting your feet on the Plyo box, hands at shoulder-width on the floor, at a 90º degree angle. 
    • Keep your legs and arms straight. That’s your starting position.
    • Slowly raise your right hand and touch your left shoulder. 
    • Perform 10 reps with each hand, 5 rounds before finishing the workout.
