Jennifer Lawrence's Hunger Games trainer gave this actress a complete run for her money. They were doing everything from parkour exercises to archery to rock climbing to tree climbing (for real!) and yoga. Phew, that is a handful, no wonder Jennifer Lawrence is so good at Kicking some major butt in, pretty much, every film!
This circuit uses massive cardio to burn some major calories and get us in combat shape... Hunger Games style! Start with a warm up jog for two minutes, then complete each exercise for one minute with a one minute cool down between circuits. Complete three circuits, total.
Four-Square Runs
The more space you have, the better. This exercise will keep you running in a square in front, side, back, side movements. Start by running forward as far as possible (50 ft is great!), then run side ways the same amount, then backwards, and sideways again- making a complete square. Run one direction for one minute, rest for one minute, then complete the opposite direction for another minute.
Knee-Up Lunges
Ooohh, your bum is going to feel this. Get into Lunge position with left leg front and arms bent in at your sides. Jump upwards and bring your right leg up so your knee is tucked into your chest. At the same time, bring your left arm up towards your right shoulder and press your right arm back. Complete for one minute, rest for one minute, then complete one minute on the other side.
Bow and Arrow
Archery was a major part of Jennifer Lawrence's routine. I do not have an archery range nearby, so this will have to do. Place one end of a resistance band in each hand. Start with arms out-stretched in front of you and feet hip width apart. Pull the right arm in towards your ear while rotating your body to the right as well. Be sure to keep arms up while doing this. A better form equals a better tone. Complete 30 seconds with the right arm and 30 seconds with the left.
Speed Skater/Knee-Ups
You ready to get that heart pumping! Start with thirty seconds of speed skaters with the right leg bent and in front of the left. Your right toes should be the only things touching the ground. Bend down with arms to your side and alternate moving the right, then the left arm outward as fast as possible for 20 seconds, then go straight into knee-up for another 20 seconds before completing 20 seconds of speed skaters with the left foot out in front. This should take one minute total and go right leg speed skaters, knee-ups, left leg speed skaters.
Kong Prep
This is another exercise Jennifer Lawrence did quite a bit in prep for The Hunger Games. Start by completing one push-up. Them, jump feet in between hands and jump back to push-up position. Complete as many s possible in one minute.
