Yes, welcome to today's workout. We're

0:44

smashing 4,000 steps in the next 30

0:47

minutes, but we're going to get started

0:49

with marches on your right foot.

0:52

This is your tempo. Join in in three,

0:55

two, three, two, one. Let's go. And one,

0:58

two, one, two. That's a welcome today's

1:01

workout. This one's going to be such a

1:02

fun, sweaty workout, right? But we're

1:05

going to go through some foundations

1:06

before we get into our main portion of

1:08

the workout. Now, these are marches.

1:10

These are your foundations. You can

1:12

always come back to this. If the move

1:13

gets too complicated or you want to take

1:14

it a little bit easier, just bring it

1:16

back to marching. If you do that for the

1:17

next 30 minutes, you're doing a workout

1:18

corrects. Lovely. Now you can also use

1:22

your arms as well to increase that

1:24

calorie burn. Okay.

1:26

>> Now we're going to move into our second

1:27

set. Step touches. It goes one. Boom.

1:31

Boom. Tap. Boom. [music] Lovely. Now if

1:34

you've got a step track on, I just want

1:36

to let you know before we get through

1:37

this workout. This tracks most of your

1:40

steps. Maybe 70 steps. It doesn't track

1:42

all your steps. Okay. When you get rid

1:44

of our bridge [music] steps, four step

1:45

touches forward. goes 1 2 3 4 Going

1:50

[music] back in. One 2 3 4 1 2 3 [music]

1:58

4 Take it back again. One. Now we call

2:00

this our bridge step. This bridges our

2:04

verses. That's choruses together. Now if

2:06

you see this beautiful circle mount here

2:09

represents how [music] much space you

2:10

need for this entire workout. We don't

2:12

need a whole gym floor. This is all we

2:14

need. Get ready to bring it back to

2:16

marching. [music]

2:17

Right foot it goes. One, two. Lovely

2:19

work. Now, as I was saying, you've got

2:21

full control of how much effort you put

2:23

into this workout. Now, if you want to

2:24

increase your calorie burn, you can lift

2:25

your arms up, pick your knees up, but if

2:27

you want to take a little bit lower, you

2:29

do you. The workout is your own. Back to

2:32

step touches. It goes

2:38

now. I'm all about the music. Music

2:40

gives you energy, energizes you through

2:42

workouts. So, get good music. trying to

2:44

make a workout feel completely

2:45

different. [music] So this first track,

2:48

we're just getting our steps in. Bridge

2:50

step four going forwards. One, two,

2:54

three. Take it [music] back and one 2 3

2:59

4. Let's go. And one 2 3 4 one.

3:04

Beautiful. Back to marches. Right foot

3:07

and center itself. Boom.

3:09

>> Good. Now take a big breath in for your

3:10

nose. [music]

3:12

Big breath out. Female. Lovely. And then

3:15

shake it out. Should do one more.

3:16

Breathe it in.

3:18

Breathe out.

3:22

>> Let's go. And one, two, [music] one,

3:25

two. Lovely. Let's pick our legs up a

3:26

little bit. Now, we're going to be

3:27

working with three minute intervals

3:29

today. So, 3 minutes at lower intensity.

3:31

Sort of like this. Then 3 minutes at

3:33

higher intensity, which can increase our

3:35

heart rate. Okay? So, our goal is to

3:37

keep that high intensity for 3 minutes.

3:40

Now, as I mentioned in the intro, it's

3:42

all low impact. It's [music] all gentle

3:44

on your joints, okay? So, we're

3:46

protecting our joints while getting our

3:47

workout in.

3:49

Okay? Now, the track's going to change,

3:52

folks. And we're going to move [music]

3:53

into a faster tempo. Watch this.

3:59

Catch that tempo. One, two. One, two.

4:01

Lovely. Now, if you haven't noticed, the

4:03

tempo's changed because we've entered

4:05

our first [music] interval. Okay? Boom.

4:09

Boom, boom, boom. Now, I like to really

4:11

use my arms to increase that calorie

4:12

burn while keeping everything nice and

4:14

[music] gentle and safe. Okay. Now, from

4:17

here, take your hands up to here. We're

4:19

going to move into little [music] step

4:20

reaches forwards. Goes step, reach,

4:23

step, reach. Boom. And you can bring

4:25

your hands back to shoulders. Here,

4:28

beautiful.

4:29

Boom.

4:31

Now, this is really a really lovely

4:33

movement to [music] get started because

4:34

we're warming up our upper body,

4:36

changing the rhythm, which is already

4:40

elevating our heart rate, right? We're

4:42

not doing any burpees here, not doing

4:43

any push-ups or squats.

4:46

We're elevating our heart rate, which is

4:47

the point with the Japanese walking

4:50

method,

4:51

which I will say, folks,

4:54

if you're not new to my workouts, you

4:55

know this. If you're new to my workouts,

4:57

I've been doing this method for the last

4:59

5 years. Knee tap,

5:03

tap, boom, hat, boom, hat.

5:06

We just call it the get fit Rick vibe

5:09

walk method, but now they got a new

5:11

[music] name for it. It's all good.

5:13

[laughter]

5:15

We're getting everyone moving.

5:17

That's the goal. Now, you notice you

5:19

elevate, you pick your legs up, your

5:20

heart rate elevates a little bit more.

5:22

Boom. How's your [music] joints feel?

5:24

Lovely. All right, that's the purpose.

5:26

That's the purpose of the Get Fit with

5:28

Rick channel. Joint friendly, [music]

5:31

low impact workout only. That's all we

5:33

do here.

5:36

Boom. Now, from here, we're going to

5:39

take it back to that high intensity

5:41

[music] marching. Three, two, march it

5:44

out. One, two. Now, without you

5:46

realizing,

5:48

we just did two combinations. Now, we're

5:50

going to put them together. So, we've

5:51

got our forward reaches into a knee tap.

5:53

So, we're going to do four of each.

5:55

Okay. Hands up here. Four [music]

5:57

reaches. One, two, three, four knee

6:00

taps. One, two, three, four reaches.

6:05

One. Woo! Lovely. You got it straight

6:08

out the back. Let's go, son. Boom. One.

6:13

One.

6:15

Now, in our 3 minutes of low intensity,

6:18

that's when we're going to grab some

6:19

water. Don't worry about it. Now, if

6:21

you're looking at a water bottle, come

6:23

here, mate. I need you. Don't worry, we

6:25

got it covered. Boom. We got it worked

6:27

out in this workout. Boom. Boom. Boom.

6:32

20 [music] seconds left.

6:34

Boom.

6:36

Boom. Lovely. Finish it off. Got a few

6:38

more left. One.

6:41

Don't forget to breathe. Four touches.

6:44

Last combo. One.

6:48

Four knee taps to finish. Keep the tempo

6:50

going, but march it [music] out now.

6:53

One, [cheering]

6:55

breathe in.

6:57

[music] Breathe out. Let's shake it out.

7:00

How you feeling? So, you see our heart

7:02

rate was elevated. We just That was 3

7:04

minutes we did. All right. Elevated

7:06

heart rate. Got 30 minute workout here.

7:07

It's beautiful. Now, should we [music]

7:10

grab some water? We're going to make

7:12

this part of our workout is grabbing

7:13

water. So, make sure you get your water

7:14

bottle at the ready here. [music]

7:16

Now, this is one liter of water. So my

7:18

goal in a day is to finish four to 5

7:21

lers. So how I do that is I set myself

7:23

during my [music] workout time. Drink

7:25

two of these during my workout time.

7:26

Right? So we're going to finish one of

7:27

these during this workout at least

7:29

[music] cuz I haven't got a refill.

7:30

[laughter]

7:37

All right, let's put that down.

7:39

Breathe.

7:43

Now some people want to be here. March

7:44

out like that. I like to like just

7:47

groove it out. We're stepping. It's the

7:48

same, right? Let's have a little groove.

7:50

Woo.

7:54

That's what I mean. You get good music,

7:56

it can change your [music] whole

7:57

workout, right? This channel is all

7:59

about good music. Feel good music. It

8:01

lifts you up, makes you feel good. Okay,

8:04

remember our foundations. [music]

8:05

Marches, step touches, bridge step.

8:10

Let's do step touches here. Boom.

8:14

[music]

8:15

Good work.

8:18

Now, what's great is when you move step

8:19

touches, it automatically feels like

8:20

it's a slower tempo, right? But it's the

8:22

same [music] tempo. Now, let's move into

8:24

our bridge step. Remember that? Four

8:25

step touches forward and back. One, two.

8:27

This change up the angle.

8:30

Boom. Boom. Woo. Oh, I'm feeling that.

8:33

Oh, that groom came out of nowhere.

8:35

What?

8:38

Okay, this is bridge step version one.

8:40

Now, [music] we're going to move to

8:41

bridge step version two. We're going to

8:42

do four step touches forward. Four. are

8:45

now on the spot. [music] One, two,

8:48

three, now four going back. So all we've

8:50

done, we've added in [music]

8:51

four step touches. Four step touches

8:53

here. Boom. H.

8:56

So it's like a Z shape, [music] right?

8:57

9:05

back again. One, two,

9:09

and boom. Let's take it back to marches.

9:13

Woo!

9:15

Come on, son.

9:17

Now, each three minute interval is a

9:19

brand new track. Okay? If you're

9:21

wondering what part of the music we're

9:22

on now, cuz when we get towards the end

9:24

of the track, you know, it's going to

9:25

switch over. That means we're going to

9:26

move into either the high intensity

9:28

interval or the lower intensity.

9:31

And you know, when it's we're moving

9:33

into lower intensity prayer. [laughter]

9:37

All right, let's march it out. Woo!

9:40

Breathe in.

9:44

Now, I hope you like this new setting.

9:45

This is a brand new set we got. This is

9:47

folks. This is my new living room. It's

9:48

my new living room. We're going to try

9:50

it out. If you guys like it, faster

9:52

marching out. Boom. Boom. [music] Boom.

9:53

All right, let's pick it up. We now

9:56

moved into our next interval. Interval

9:58

number two.

10:02

Now, let's use our arms cuz remember the

10:04

goal is calorie burn, right?

10:07

>> And heart rate. Elevating that heart

10:08

rate.

10:09

>> Boom. [music]

10:11

So, if you do like this setting, I think

10:12

we'll shoot here a little bit more.

10:15

>> Now, we're going to move to side jab.

10:17

Take your hand up to little fists.

10:18

[music] Now, we're going to jump to the

10:19

side, guys. One, two. One, two. Now,

10:24

also, if I'm doing the exercise, folks,

10:26

there is no pressure when you [music] do

10:27

my workouts, to be exactly on the music,

10:29

to be exactly at the same time I start.

10:32

I can start a movement, you can just

10:33

check it out while you're marching and

10:34

go, "All right, got it." And then join

10:35

in.

10:38

Woo! My only expectation of you is to

10:42

put a smile on your face. That's what I

10:43

want during the workout. How you do the

10:46

workout is completely [music] up to you

10:47

because we're all working at our own

10:49

level, right? Some people level 10, some

10:52

people level 50, some people level 100,

10:54

some people level one. So you're only

10:55

going to compare yourself from where you

10:56

was yesterday where we're going to

10:58

progress to now. Butt kickers. Now watch

11:00

this. One, two. So we're just combining

11:03

now the upper body with the low body. So

11:06

we're just going to kick. Stay facing

11:07

me. We're going to kick our heels up to

11:09

here. Right now, I'm just going to add

11:11

in

11:13

a little hand. Boom. Boom. Tap tap.

11:18

Boom. Woo. Now, these are great. Now,

11:21

these are for your hamstrings. Your

11:22

hamstrings are the muscles on the back

11:24

of your legs, right? [music] These

11:25

control you going up and downstairs.

11:27

Especially, sorry, going downstairs,

11:29

should I say. Now, when you work your

11:30

hamstrings, you may want to hold a

11:33

handrail when you go down some stairs,

11:34

folks. [laughter]

11:36

That's why you see people that being on

11:38

a bicycle, they need to hold that handle

11:39

as they go downstairs. March it out.

11:41

One, two, one, two, one, two. Now,

11:44

sometimes my chat and get away with me.

11:46

Right. And I might quickly move into the

11:47

next movement. Just join me when you're

11:49

ready. Now, we combine those two

11:50

together. Four side jabs, four butt

11:53

kickers. Three, two, one, it go. One,

11:56

boom. Four butt kickers. One hoo.

12:01

Jab it out. Step. Boom. Boom. Boom.

12:04

Let's go. Last one. [music]

12:08

Boom. Boom. Boom. But kick it out. Use

12:14

those hamstrings. One, [music] two,

12:17

three, four. Let's go. And one, two,

12:20

one.

12:22

One. [music]

12:25

And again. And one.

12:29

One. 2 3 4 one. 15 seconds left.

12:38

Woo! Finishing it off now. Last combo.

12:43

One, two, three, four. Butt kickers.

12:46

One, two. Back to marches.

12:49

One. Woo.

12:55

Breathe. Breathe in

12:59

and breathe out. Breathe in for your

13:02

nose.

13:04

Now breathe out through your mouth.

13:06

Now what this does helps regulate your

13:08

heart rate which means [music] it helps

13:09

control your heart rate. Bring it back

13:10

to normal tempo quicker. Okay. So just

13:12

breathe in through your nose again.

13:15

Hold it for a second [music] and breathe

13:18

out.

13:19

Lovely. Folks should grab some water,

13:21

shall we? Come on then, mate. Let's get

13:24

some water. [music]

13:27

I should have got two of these bottles.

13:28

I'm going to do this bottle within the

13:29

next 15 minutes. [laughter]

13:36

Now, drinking water during a workout

13:39

makes it so much easier to get your

13:41

water taker intake in. Right? If you

13:44

just sip it, that's just water in your

13:45

[music] mouth, but just really drink it,

13:47

right?

13:48

I don't mean gulp it. Let's move to step

13:50

touches. Boom.

13:54

Woo.

13:55

Now, this is our low intensity, okay?

13:57

So, we're not aiming to spike a heart

13:58

rate. So, just take it nice and easy.

13:59

[music] You can just be vibing here.

14:02

Now, we're working towards our [music]

14:05

foundational steps. Marching, step

14:06

touches, bridge, step, so you know where

14:10

we're at. Don't have to think [music]

14:11

about it.

14:13

Boom. Tap tap

14:16

again. Breathe in.

14:19

Now, I'm going to work towards the back

14:20

of my mat cuz we're going to do our

14:21

bridge step going forward. Four bridge,

14:22

four step touches. Two, three. Take it

14:26

back again. 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 Woo! I'm

14:34

feeling a vibe here.

14:36

Let's move to our bridge step version,

14:38

too. Do you remember it? Four forwards.

14:41

We add in four on the spot. So, just

14:43

combining [music]

14:45

putting our peanut butter jelly between

14:47

our bread. [laughter]

14:50

Four on the spot.

14:54

Repeat. And one. Hey. A I'm on a vibe

14:58

now.

15:01

Take it back in. One, two, [music]

15:04

three, four. We're going to bring it

15:06

back to marches. [music]

15:10

One, two. And simple as that. Just a

15:12

simple process of switching our steps up

15:16

is [music] from marching. Makes time

15:18

absolutely fly by. I'll be honest with

15:20

you. When I saw the Japanese walking

15:22

method, I thought it's blowing up going

15:23

viral everywhere. That's 3 minutes of

15:25

this. I went after 10 seconds. I'm bored

15:28

already. [laughter]

15:33

Social media has got my brain twitching

15:35

so fast. I need entertainment quick.

15:38

[laughter]

15:39

All right, we feel chilled. Breathe.

15:41

[music]

15:42

We're going to move into our next

15:43

interval. Okay,

15:46

ready?

15:48

March it out. And one, two, one, two,

15:51

one, two, one, two. That's it. catch

15:53

that rhythm.

15:55

Now, if you take your weight a little

15:56

bit lower here, boom. You can really get

15:59

down and dirty into that step.

16:00

[laughter]

16:01

Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Woo. Now, this

16:03

usually is quads front of your legs.

16:05

When you bend, you activate knees more.

16:08

So, when you're stepping in with your

16:09

body slightly angled forward, you're

16:11

getting more [music] activation here,

16:12

which is what we like. Now, this step,

16:14

step behind, right? Watch this. Step

16:17

behind, step,

16:19

step. Same step touches, right? But now

16:21

we're just taking it behind our [music]

16:23

foot. Boom. Tap. Now you can do this,

16:26

right? I like to twist my body with it

16:29

like this. So I'm going back on it and

16:32

turn it into a tap. Boom. Tap. Boom.

16:34

Tap. Tap.

16:37

Woo.

16:39

Boom.

16:41

Lovely. Now I'm getting some really nice

16:42

calf activation. Right. The muscles are

16:46

where your socks go. That muscle. Okay.

16:49

Boom. H. Come on.

16:52

Okay. Next movement we're going to do is

16:55

two steps forward, two steps back. It

16:58

goes forward, forward, back, back,

17:00

forward, forward, back, back.

17:03

Keeps going. On the pavement, off the

17:06

pavement, on the pavement, off the

17:08

pavement. Now I'm going to switch. Which

17:10

foot? I go forward. Switch. Boom. Boom.

17:14

Just because I don't want to walk with a

17:15

wonky leg. [laughter]

17:17

I have to even it out.

17:20

BB forward forward back. Excellent.

17:23

Let's move back to the first leg. Right.

17:25

Right leg. One, two. Ba, boom, boom.

17:29

Let's use the arms here. Boom. Tap.

17:31

Boom. Boom. Keeps going. Boom. Boom.

17:34

Boom. Boom. Okay. Back to marches. 3 2

17:39

1.

17:40

And notice the routine goes. Marching,

17:43

combo one, [music] combo two, back to

17:46

marching, which is our mental restart.

17:48

Oh, there's on my feet there. Now into

17:50

the combos. Okay, now four step behind.

17:53

It goes one, two, into two steps

17:56

forward, two steps [music] back.

17:59

Repeat that. Four behind. One, two,

18:02

three. Step it forwards, forward,

18:04

forward, back, back, forward, forward,

18:06

back. Step it behind. One, two. Woo! My

18:11

arms naturally move into pull it behind.

18:14

So if you want to do this with me, boom.

18:18

Forward, forward, back. Now I like to

18:20

visualize this, right? So I'm stepping

18:21

it behind. Boom. Throwing it behind. Now

18:23

I'm stepping on that pavement. Step it

18:25

on the step. Off. Repeat. And one, two,

18:30

three.

18:32

Now these arms are completely optional,

18:33

folks. Let's go. One. Woo.

18:38

And this one's really good for balance,

18:39

right? It's so important to not try and

18:43

get away too much from stuff that's

18:45

challenging.

18:46

Back to marches.

18:49

Breathe.

18:51

[sighs]

18:51

Sometimes when we can do a movement,

18:53

you're like, "Oh, that's tricky. Let me

18:54

do something else. Let me find an

18:55

alternative." However, it's like

18:57

anything.

18:59

>> Try it. [music] The more your body

19:01

learns rhythm, learns weight

19:02

distribution, then it becomes easier the

19:04

next time you do it. And certain moves

19:06

that you couldn't do the first time,

19:07

you're nailing a few months later. So,

19:10

it's important. It's important, right?

19:12

[music]

19:12

If you can't do set behind, just give it

19:14

a go. Give it a shot. new version of

19:17

>> All right, folks. Like, Rick, stop

19:18

talking. I want you some water. Let's

19:20

get some water.

19:23

>> Okay, I'll get to a quart of my bottle

19:25

already. [music]

19:31

[music]

19:31

>> And I take it easy on your water

19:33

drinking. I did say drink a lot, but

19:35

don't give yourself cramp.

19:39

Okay, breathe.

19:42

Breathe out. How we feeling? Good.

19:44

Joints feel good. Knees feel good. Back

19:46

feels good. Beautiful.

19:49

Okay,

19:51

we're going to move to

19:54

our slow interval movement. Second one.

19:56

Step touches.

19:59

Boom. Woo.

20:02

Let's go. Boom. Boom.

20:06

One touch. One touch.

20:10

[panting]

20:12

Now, there's a lot of questions about

20:14

what do you wear on your feet when

20:15

you're doing a [music]

20:17

walk, right? Should you wear trainers?

20:19

Can you go bare feet? What bridge step?

20:22

Now, the honest truth is ideally you

20:24

want to wear trainers because trainers

20:26

gives your foot support, gives yourself

20:28

arch support, [music] right? So, someone

20:30

may do it bare feet and end up with foot

20:33

issues, foot cramps and things like

20:34

that. Right? Now, when we bridge step

20:36

two, remember this is chilled, [music]

20:38

right? We don't need to be killing

20:40

ourselves in this front spot. One, two,

20:43

three, [music]

20:44

four. Take it back again. One. Now, some

20:47

people can

20:49

boom do walking workout in just their

20:51

socks and be absolutely fine. They're

20:53

[music] never ever going to have issues.

20:56

Now, some people start noticing their

20:58

foot start to hurt, got planter

21:00

fasciitis, things like that. So, then

21:02

you would really would recommend you

21:03

wear [music] a pair of trains that

21:04

supports your arch in your foot. Okay.

21:07

Mar it out.

21:09

Boom.

21:11

So, I've [music] got a mat here. I've

21:12

got my trainers. These are really good

21:13

for cushioning. These trainers I'm

21:15

wearing, right? [music]

21:17

Sometimes, obviously, in your own home,

21:18

right? Or even put trainers on. Now, I

21:21

do have a second mat. It's actually a

21:22

kids playmat, right? Which is quite

21:23

squishy. So, sometimes when I'm doing

21:24

the walks [music] at home, I would just

21:27

be on that in socks because it gives me

21:29

some cushioning. So the over rule is you

21:32

want to have some sort of cushioning

21:33

whether it's a trainer, whether it's a

21:35

soft mat,

21:37

but some people have fun without it. So

21:42

but get fit with Rick's head. Get some

21:44

trainers on, love. All right, we're

21:47

going to move into fast marches.

21:51

Three, two, three, two, one. Let's go.

21:55

One, two, one, two. There we go. Moving

21:57

to our next. See how quickly that is?

22:00

See my chat? [laughter]

22:02

My chat froze you off. You stop thinking

22:04

about what we did. Beautiful.

22:07

Boom. Boom. Boom. Boom. Woo. Breathe in

22:10

through your nose. Breathe out through

22:12

your mouth. Feel good. Feel amazing.

22:16

We're going to move to sky reaches now.

22:18

Okay.

22:19

Hands up to here.

22:22

It goes. One. Two. Boom. Boom. Now,

22:26

we're going to really reach up. Now,

22:27

what I want you to do on this one, I

22:29

don't want you to short change this

22:30

movement by just be here like that.

22:31

Okay? Try and reach and get a lovely

22:33

stretch [music] down each side. The more

22:36

range we can put our body into, right?

22:40

Further away we can stretch, further

22:42

away we can elongate our body. Guess

22:43

what? Burning more calories, but we're

22:45

also getting really nice mobility here.

22:49

Boom.

22:51

>> Cuz like what does sitting on a desk or

22:53

a sofa all day do, right?

22:55

pulls your shoulders forwards, makes

22:57

everything feel really tight. So, we

22:58

want to make sure we're stretching out

23:00

any opportunities we can. Okay, from

23:02

here we're going to move back to knee

23:03

taps. Boom.

23:05

[music] One, two, three, four.

23:09

Beautiful. So, this is

23:12

our next combination we'll put together.

23:14

Okay, it's got sky reaches

23:17

into our knee taps. And this is again

23:19

the effort of bringing our knee up

23:20

increases that calorie burn without

23:22

putting any more effort into it. We're

23:24

not here like, "Come on, you got this,

23:26

son. [laughter]

23:28

We can be here."

23:30

Now, when you're doing this, think about

23:32

engaging your core. So, if somebody's

23:34

about to punch you in the stomach, you

23:36

have that brace feel. We go. Now,

23:38

maintain [music] that. Okay? So, I'm

23:39

going to maintain that. Okay? I'm going

23:41

to maintain that feeling like someone's

23:44

going to punch you in the stomach. And

23:45

that's what we call engaging our core.

23:47

March it out. One, two. Sometimes

23:50

confusing people say engage your core.

23:51

Like, what does that mean? [laughter]

23:54

Just mean someone's about to punch you

23:55

something, you brace it. Have that

23:57

feeling throughout. Okay. Four sky

23:59

reaches. Let's go. One, two, three. Knee

24:05

[music] taps. One, two, three, four.

24:09

Let's go. And one, two, three, four.

24:14

For fun, let's move it into double taps.

24:16

So, it goes one, two, two knee taps on

24:19

each side. One, two. One, two. Let's go.

24:24

One, two, three.

24:27

One, two. Boom. [music]

24:30

Let's go. One. Now, you may be thinking,

24:32

Rick, how did you just come up with that

24:34

on the fly? You just switch up the

24:36

exercises like some sort of genius. And

24:38

the answer to that is I just read it

24:40

wrong. [laughter]

24:44

That was my genius there. I read wrong

24:46

what was on my little prompter. It's a

24:48

double knees app.

24:50

>> [laughter]

24:52

>> But I do it so seamlessly, you would

24:53

never know. And then I confess all my

24:55

sins. Double D tap. March it out.

24:59

One, two. Beautiful. That didn't feel

25:02

too bad, right? Breathe in through your

25:04

[music] nose.

25:06

Remember, always trying to regulate a

25:07

heart rate between each interval. That's

25:09

[music] going to be the difference

25:10

between a low intensity, high intensity.

25:13

Low intensity, we should feel like we're

25:15

back to normal, right?

25:18

Okay. Breathe in.

25:21

Slow it down. So, I want to catch cuz

25:23

I'm about out of breath now. I want to

25:24

catch my breath before I grab some

25:25

water.

25:28

[music] Lovely. Should we go? Come on

25:30

then. Let's go. Boom. Boom. Boom. You

25:33

might have to send me some water to the

25:35

screen. [music]

25:41

Beautiful. Got a little bit left.

25:44

Next time [music] bring two bottles.

25:46

So easy as that. Nearly done a liter of

25:48

water.

25:49

Well done.

25:52

Brilliant.

25:55

Nice [snorts] vibe now. Hey.

26:01

Boom.

26:03

Okay. From here, let's move to step

26:04

touches.

26:06

[music] Three, two, one, go. Woo.

26:11

Got a little groove in here. Boom. Boom.

26:14

Hey. Yay! Boom!

26:19

Get those vibes in, baby. Woo!

26:24

Boom! Boom!

26:26

Okay, bridge. I'm Take it back. So, I'm

26:29

going to move to bridge. I'm going to

26:31

use this whole space here. One, two. I'm

26:32

trying to get to each side of my mat

26:34

here. Stick it back in. One, two, three.

26:38

Stick it forwards. One, two, three.

26:41

[music]

26:42

Stick it back in. One. Okay, bridge

26:45

version two.

26:48

Remember, we don't need to think about

26:49

these steps either, just to help

26:52

[music] keep our body moving.

26:56

Four on spot. [music]

27:00

Boom. Let's repeat. Bridge. One 2

27:04

[music] 3 four. Nice and chilled. One.

27:08

Woo. All this time we're getting our

27:09

steps in while jamming out.

27:13

Okay, we're gonna bring it back to home

27:15

to marches. Three, two, [music]

27:17

one.

27:19

Breathe in

27:22

and breathe out.

27:24

Woo!

27:26

Lovely. How we doing? Feeling good. So,

27:29

these spikes of heart rate, spikes of

27:31

our heart rate, the low intensity,

27:34

which are intervals, [music] right?

27:37

Spiking your heart rate, slowing it

27:38

down, burns more calories, gets you

27:40

fitter in a quicker time. And that's

27:42

what the Japanese walking method is all

27:44

about. Elevated heart rate, slow heart

27:47

rate, elevated heart rate. [music] And

27:49

you may be familiar with HIT workouts,

27:51

right? 20-minute workouts. Now, the

27:53

reason there's 20-minute [music]

27:53

workouts because the intensity you're

27:56

putting your body under in that time,

27:58

the difference between going for a walk

27:59

and going for a sprint, right? Okay,

28:01

let's march it out fast. Tap tap tap.

28:03

One, two, one, two, one, two. [music]

28:06

Well, let's go.

28:09

Now, I want to really increase my

28:10

calorie burn. I want to pick my knees up

28:11

now. I'm really I'm feeling up for it,

28:13

son. [laughter]

28:15

And that's the thing. The warmer your

28:16

body gets, the more energy you get,

28:18

which is crazy, right? Triple march.

28:20

Watch this. [music]

28:21

One, two, three, touch. One, two, three,

28:25

boom, boom, boom, touch, and one. Woo!

28:28

One, two, three. Add a touch. One, two.

28:31

This is one of my absolute groove sets.

28:34

You can play around all the different

28:36

angles. You can do this. Just forward

28:37

and back [music]

28:38

to the sides on the spot. You can switch

28:42

your angle. You put the foot. Boom.

28:45

Boom. Boom. Oh, I got so many

28:46

combinations mixed with a set.

28:49

Boom.

28:51

Now, let's increase our calorie burn.

28:53

So, we're going to do [music] pick our

28:55

legs up a little bit higher. One, two,

28:57

three. Tap. Now, the same step going

29:00

forwards [music] and back. Okay. And I'm

29:01

going to use my whole mat here.

29:04

One, two, three, tap. One, two, three.

29:07

One, two, three. So, whatever space

29:09

you've got, but this like a meter gap,

29:12

[music]

29:12

me space we're using here. So, we don't

29:15

have the space to move forward and back.

29:16

Do it on the spot again.

29:20

One, two, three. One, two, three. Woo!

29:23

[cheering]

29:24

Let's go. One, two, three.

29:27

Now, see, because this is just stepping

29:29

here,

29:31

we can use our arms a little bit more.

29:33

[music]

29:34

One, two, three. One, two, three.

29:39

One, two, three. Lovely work. Okay, back

29:42

to marches. Three, two, three, two, one.

29:45

March it out. And one, two, one, two.

29:48

Well done. Woo. Okay. Lovely little

29:51

combination.

29:53

Two [music] triple marches on the spot

29:55

and two going forwards and back. Okay.

29:57

All right. You [music] ready? Three,

29:59

two, one. Triple march. One, two, three.

30:02

J forwards and back now. One, two,

30:05

three. B on the spot. And one, two,

30:08

three.

30:10

[music] Let's go. And one, two, three,

30:13

back. Repeat. And one, two, three. Woo.

30:18

Forward. One, two, take it back. And

30:20

one, two, three. Back [music] center.

30:22

One, two, three.

30:25

This gets your brain going, right? Boom,

30:27

boom, boom, boom. This is [music] really

30:30

good for weight distribution, which is

30:32

good for balance, right?

30:35

And all balance is if you're someone who

30:36

struggles with

30:39

balance [music]

30:41

is just practicing steps like this over

30:44

and over again. You learn your weight

30:45

distribution. One, two, three.

30:50

One, two, three. One, two, three. One,

30:54

two, three. Three, two, one. Boom.

30:58

Folks, [sighs]

31:00

I didn't tell you. We've just completed

31:02

the entire workout. Just like that. If I

31:05

caught you off guard, I caught myself

31:07

off guard. Folks, [laughter]

31:09

did I tell you 30 minutes was going to

31:11

fly by? We're going to move into a

31:13

lovely little cool down. Now, you've

31:14

done 30 minutes. That's 10,000 steps

31:16

equivalent. Well done. I'm really proud

31:18

of you. Okay, let's march it out with

31:20

me. Goes one, two, one, two, one, two.

31:26

So do love stretching now just cool down

31:27

our body after that

31:30

>> step touches.

31:32

Wait for it.

31:35

>> Oh, that beat nearly killed me off

31:37

there. Woo. Okay, all we're going to do

31:40

now like we did that three minute low

31:41

intensity, we're just going to vibe now.

31:44

Boom. Boom. [singing]

31:47

Boom.

31:51

Okay, from here let's do

31:54

four walks forward.

31:56

One, two, three. Take it back and one,

32:00

two, three. So, this is all about

32:01

slowing our heart rate back down.

32:04

I feel good already. [music]

32:07

That flew by really, really quickly. If

32:10

anything,

32:12

make sure you let me know what you

32:13

thought of that workout. Do you want to

32:14

see more like that? [music]

32:16

Okay, let's take our feet out here.

32:18

Center. Big breath in.

32:21

Big breath out. Good. Big breath in.

32:27

>> Two more like that. Breathe in.

32:31

Really reach the fingertips out. Last

32:33

one. Breathe in.

32:36

Now, leave your hands up there. We're

32:38

going to reach. Reach.

32:41

And reach.

32:43

You can move through the music here. And

32:45

each time you can reach, reach a little

32:46

bit higher. Push that hip into it.

32:48

[music]

32:50

Good. Take your hands out to the side.

32:52

Cross it over. Pull it in nice and

32:53

tight. It's a lovely little shoulder

32:54

stretch here.

33:00

>> Big breath in. As you breathe out,

33:02

squeeze it in tight. Release. Other

33:04

side. Lovely. Okay. Pull it in. So, nice

33:07

straight arm. Now, v with me as you're

33:09

doing this.

33:14

Want the vibes, baby. Big breath in. Br

33:16

squeeze.

33:19

Well done. See some arm circles going

33:20

back here.

33:23

[music] Really open this up and

33:25

forwards.

33:27

Releasing all that lax acid. [music]

33:30

>> Okay, well done. Now from here, what

33:32

we're going to do, we're going to take

33:33

our left leg forwards. We're going to

33:35

flex it. Slight bend here. We're just

33:36

going [music] to lean forward with a

33:37

nice straight back and get a nice

33:38

stretch down it. Back of this leg here.

33:44

>> Well done. We switch other side. Flex

33:47

foot. Slight bend in your left leg. Lean

33:49

forwards on the opposite side. Should

33:51

get a nice stretch in the back of your

33:52

leg here. We're going to lead from the

33:54

lower back. That's going to keep that

33:55

nice stretch here.

33:58

>> Okay. From here, release. We're going to

33:59

move into quad stretch. We're going to

34:00

grab our you can feel free to use a u

34:03

chair or here. Now, what we're going to

34:05

aim for here, show the side, is you want

34:07
