Fitness KayKay: 25 MIN FULL BODY MOBILITY WORKOUT | Follow Along | No Equipment | Recovery

This is only the second workout by Kathrin of Fitness_kaykay I have done. I had intended to a lot more of her workouts and I do not know what happened/why I never did more. What has brought me back to her is my need for more mobility based workouts and she has quite a few. This is a really nice mobility and dynamic flexibility workout. Kathrin works your total body. Some of the moves are more strenuous than others. I had just finished 30 Minute Mobility & Stability by FitSevenEleven, which was quite strenuous, so I was already sweating when I came to this workout. This workout took it down a notch (thankfully, since it is my recovery day!) but still worked me nicely.

This workout is done interval style: 40 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of rest. There is a timer in the upper right hand corner of the screen counting down intervals and recoveries. Kathrin previews the next move during the recovery. There is a progress bar in the upper left hand corner of the screen counting down total workout time as a percentage.

25 Min Full Body Mobility Workout is 25:34 minutes. Equipment: fitness mat.

  1. I have done a few of Kathrin’s and love them. I am basically all HR now and have a hard time now with anyone who talks, so was excited to find Kaykay. Most of her workouts are too advanced and/or long for me, but I’ve found a few gems and am excited to try the one you just posted so thank you!

    1. I was interested in her strength workouts at one time but that was also when I first discovered Caroline and now she dominates my strength work. So I never did do any, but I do like the look of her mobility/flexibility workouts. And I agree. The talking can get irritating. I don’t mind when it is form or cuing related but just talking unrelated to the workout? That irritates me. There is one trainer, CDornnerFitness, who has been recommended to me by so many readers. Every time I attempt one of her workouts her constant non-workout related chatter makes me turn it off. But Sunday, I am doing one of her mobility workouts. We’ll see if I can get through it!

      1. I did that mobility workout today and although I had to modify a few segments because of stiffness I got through it enjoyably. Kaykay has such a nice vibe and her videos are so well produced, I keep looking for ones that are within my ability!

      2. Yes, I really like her workouts that I have done so far. One day I will try her strength workouts but her flexibility/mobility workouts have been excellent.
