Hey Kids!  CLICK HERE NOW TO PLAY 60 WITH ME, CHOMPS!

MY DAWG BLAWG WILL SHOW YOU HOW I'M PLAYING THIS WEEK BECAUSE I WANT TO GET BIG AND STRONG LIKE MY FAVORITE NFL PLAYERS, JOSH CRIBBS & JEROME HARRISON!

 

Here's my second workout that we can do together!

Follow along as we go through each exercise together. CLICK HERE to follow along with my video!! We will be doing squats and lunges, which my friends in the NFL do to work out the lower body.

 

Squats

This is like you're sitting in a chair.. made of air! Stand tall and focus on pushing hips backward and down (as you would when sitting in a chair); once your upper legs are parallel to the ground return to standing. Repeat.

 

Lunges

Stand tall. Step forward (a big step foward). As your front heel touches down drop your back knee towards the ground too. When done correctly your knees and hips will be in 90 degree angles. Return to the standing position by pushing through your front foot in a backwards direction. Repeat with the other leg.

 

Squats with side bend right/left

With arms overhead reaching for the sky squat down and side bend to the right. Return to the starting position by pushing through both feet and reach overhead. Repeat to the left.

 

Lunge with arms overhead right/left

Side bend to the left as you step forward with the left. Repeat on the right.

Hey NFL Fans!

 

For those of you who don't know me, my name is Chomps, and I'm the mascot of the Cleveland Browns. I recently decided that I want to get more active and fit like all the players on my team. I asked my buddy Josh Cribbs how he stays in such good shape, and he reminded me that a great, fun way to get fit is to play for 60 minutes every day.

 

At our game last week, I went on the field with the PLAY 60 kids and announced to all the Browns fans that I will start to PLAY 60 each day!

 

This past week, I have been planning my workout routine, eating healthy, stretching my muscles and getting set to start playing every day. I don't want to do it alone, so I'm going to tell you my workout every week and you can PLAY 60 With Me!
