The European Judo Union want to help you all at home with some training plans from coaches in the across the continent!
World Champion and Olympic silver medallist, Vitaly Makarov of Russia is closing off with his final session to you all in this fifth week to provide you with some great ‘at-home’ options for an upper body workout.
Make sure you warm up before starting! We want to make sure that you don’t pick up an injury before getting down to the real work…
Some of the exercises are weighted, if you don’t have a dumbbell, find something around the home that can act as a replacement.
This workout is for beginners and advanced athletes.
Warm up beforehand! If you need some guidance for a thorough warm up, head back and look at Week 4 of Vitaly’s video where he takes you through multiple movements to prepare yourself for exercise.
