SLP Workout

Ok friends, summer time is here which means swimsuit season! I’m a little farther from where I’d like to be right now, so here’s a fun workout you can do with a little help from your SLP accessories!! Do this routine twice and you’ll be fit and fab in no time! You can also perform this routine during the school year, using commonly found items in every speech room.

Warm up appropriately before attempting this workout. You may choose to do laps around your kidney table.

2. Articulation Deck Shoulder Press: Grab a couple tins of articulation decks in each hand and press those decks upwards. Use those shoulder muscles and envision your student finally getting the /r/! Do 15 repetitions.

4. Laminator Twists: Hold your beloved laminator in both hands, sink down into squat position, and twist that laminator from side to side. Focus on your obliques. Imagine a little elf who comes and cuts out everything for you! Do 10 twists to each side for a total of 20.

5. Chipper Chat Lunges: Grab two of those magnetic wands and place one in each hand. Bonus: Dip the wands in the magnetic chips and try to keep all the chips on the wand as you perform the lunges. Do 10 lunges on each side for a total of 20.
