Harry Potter Workout

Welcome to the end of January. Who’s still going strong on their New Years resolutions? I’ve mentioned before that I have my issues with the concept of New Years resolutions. That being said, I’ve been regularly working on my personal fitness for the past seven years and (despite how much space New Years resolution people take up in January) I like to see people succeed at their fitness goals. So to make it easy to keep things up, even just a little bit, turn on your favorite Harry Potter movie and let’s do a workout together here.

***Exercises updated January 2024 to account for what I've learned practicing physical therapy. This workout is intended to work without any equipment, but feel free to add small dumbbells or bands as you're safely able.

I’ve included YouTube videos to help with correct form. Let me know how your workouts go and if you have any questions about the workout.
