Welcome to Activate 2!

Activate 2 is a chair-supported program, in which all of the exercises are done while holding onto a chair. It’s a great starting point for those who just need that bit of extra stability while moving — or for anyone who has completed Activate 1.

If Activate 2 is going to be your launching point into My Peak Challenge, be sure to check in with your doctor or healthcare provider to make sure you’re cleared to start a new training regiment. Once you get the go-ahead, give Activate 1: Session 16  a go. That session is designed to run through the movement patterns that we will be working on in Activate 2 and will help ensure that you’re ready to progress to a standing-only workout.

Activate 2 sessions are about 20 minutes long and will help build stamina and strength. Each one starts with a short warm-up and then continues with two workout sections. Once we’ve completed both, we will bring our heart rate back down and get our breathing under control with a stretch paired with guided inhales and exhales. The sessions are progressive and designed to be completed in order.

You will need a sturdy chair to perform these workouts. Because we’ll be standing behind it and using the backrest for stability, it’s more important than ever that you ensure that it does not slide.

From the get-go we will also have the option of using that WB — water bottle — so have it ready, filled or empty, and maybe placing it on the seat of your chair. You may also want to have a separate water bottle for hydration purposes.

Remember, this is your challenge and you get to decide how often you would like to complete these workouts. You may consider doing two or three workouts per week and adding in a couple of active recovery days, as well. Active recovery for this module should be 15 to 20 minutes long, maybe a brisk walk, a light jog or some MPC Flow. Check in with yourself and your body, see how you’re feeling, and then decide whether you need to back off a little bit, continue at that pace or push yourself a little bit more.

When you’re ready, meet Coach Tacia behind the chair!
