Blake Lively's At-Home Workout Is So Intense

Clearly, she's a sucker for punishment - by Lucy Bode
  • 20 Mar 2020

Hello, and welcome to instalment 657,493,231 of how to keep yourself healthy while social distancing. Today’s episode is courtesy of Blake Lively’s trainer, aka Don Saladino, who’s #blessed the masses with an insanely hard at-home workout that’s guaranteed to have us all schvitzing. *Wipes brow in anticipation.*

"To keep our immune system strong, we want to keep our muscles trained and eat right. If we stop exercising and we stop moving around, that's going to affect our sleep quality, which will affect our immune system," he explained in an interview with E! News. "Continue to try to break a sweat, to get outside and move around. Stay positive and don't get down because it will beat up your immune system.”

If you can’t steal some time in the sun (because, Corona-quarantine), no stress - these exercises require such little space, they can all be done indoors.

Without further ado, here’s what Don’s lined up:

Move #1: Push Ups

3-5 sets of 5-10 reps.

Don Saladino on Instagram: "Push Ups are one of the best bodyweight strength exercises you can can do, but it's important to practice great form.⁣ ⁣ We go through a..."

"A push-up is a moving plank. It's a full-body exercise but you're also using your core,” Don told the publication.

Move #2: Lunges

3-5 sets of 5-10 reps

"A lunge is a compound movement,” Don added. “It's working your quads, your hamstrings and your glutes. It's also opening your hips. It's working on everything from the ground up. Your ankle joints, your knee joints, your hip joints—all different areas—which is really important.”

Move #3: Sprints

10 metres x 10-15 (with a minute rest in between sets.)

“Every time you do it, you increase speed," Don continued. "It will get your heart rate up. In the beginning, I recommend not taking as much rest but then as you get faster and faster, you're going to need to take more rest."

There are several answers here! If your form is incorrect and your body is not conditioned due to inefficiencies in a movement, this can become very taxing to the body. There are so many ways to get overly technical with setting up your interval training, and sometimes you just want to get a good sweat and have fun with your training partner😀 So try these 1:1 ratio sprints on the treadmill. You can either do 30 seconds on/ 30 seconds off, or 1 minute on/1 minute off with your partner. Tag a friend you want to try this with! @torriewilson #suitupwithdon #intervaltraining #wednesdaymorning #wednesdaymotivation #superherotraining

Move #4: Lateral bound jumps

"A lateral bound is where you're jumping side to side and landing on one leg.” Don shared. "Moving laterally allows the hips to open up, to get the heart rate elevated and work with a little bit of speed. Beginners should start really slow and easy and people who are in great shape, you should try to jump as far as you can. If you're not used it or you're warming up, start easy."

BTW, Don also trains the likes of John Karsinski, Ryan Reynolds, Liev Schrieber and Emily Blunt. So obvs he knows a thing or two about whipping butts into shape. You can catch more of his workouts via his Insta, just remember to BYO towel.
