Weekly Wednesday Workout: Towel Snaps
Time to work the whole body!
What I love about this workout is that can be done at home with something as simple as a towel. What I don’t like about the workout is that it is deceptively hard! I don’t have the best flexibility in the world so my legs don’t go that high–but–just the action of trying to reach my feet with my arms and the towel is a great body weight exercise that gets the heart rate going!! Plus it’s a nice alternative to high kicks.
Have you ever tried Towel Snaps?

You’re right, this is a little hard to do. This is another good one to work on my balance.

Oh I like this one! I’m on the hunt for “at home” workouts (I have to look up your post of the best YouTube ones!) while I’m on vacation. This will do very nicely!

I like that you can use a towel for this, but I am totally not good at staying balanced, so have a feeling I would not do very good at this move! But still will have to give it a try now to see 😉

How does she keep her back so straight with that workout?! Can’t wait to try these in the fall.

The idea of having enough hamstring mobility to do that is laughable for me right now!! 😉 This would be a great exercise to do as part of a dynamic warmup. Thanks for sharing Nellie!
