One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven.
I mean, you have a whole, string of those in a deck.

Hello, what's going on, everybody?
Welcome to another episode of The Family Fitness Challenge,
brought to you by Nestlé Pure Life.
I'm your host Charly Caruso and next to me, one of my very good friends,
also WWE superstar, Natalya.
How are you doing today?
>> I'm doing great, thank you so much for having me.
>> Absolutely, well, I get an opportunity to spend time with you each and
every week through WWE.
I know that you're always trying to stay in the best shape as possible.
But I'm interested to know how did you originally get so into fitness?
>> My dad was an athlete his entire life, and he is also a WWE superstar.
And for me, like my dad always encouraged us to be fit and
to live a really healthy active lifestyle.
And if it was playing outside with our friends or going for a run or
lifting weights, he always encouraged that.
So for me, fitness has been a huge part of my life since I was a teenager, and
I was always a really active kid.
And looking back on it, I'm grateful that my dad gotten so involved in sports
because it's really helped transcend into my career as a WWE superstar.
I make sure I do something every single day even if it's only a little bit.
Even if it's only 20 or 30 minutes,
I always try to do something to get my blood going and just get my endorphins up.
And that's the biggest thing is that working out and
exercise it's the biggest mood booster.
>> 100%. >> It makes you feel good and
when I feel good, I'm just like a happier person.
>> It raises your serotonin levels.
>> Yeah. >> It's proven that working out makes you
happier and I love that you said that even if it's just for
a few minutes a day, you try to get it in.
Because I think the biggest misconception that people have about fitness is you have
to go from 0 to 100 immediatley.
>> Right. >> And that's not how it works.
It's baby steps, which then lead to you achieving goals, very consistently.
And that is the key with fitness is consistency so.
>> Consistency is key.
>> Now, before we get started, obviously,
we both know the importance of staying hydrated.
Whether it's before your workout, during, or after.
So we have our bottles of Nestlé Pure Life here,
that we will have handy during our workouts.
And also our to-go bottles, which you will be sent home with one of these.
Because we all know the importance also when you're on the go,
whether you're in the car, you're walking.
>> Airport. >> Work the airport,
it's always good to have a refillable water bottle so
that you can make sure to stay hydrated regardless of the circumstance.
Okay, so here's how our workout's going to work.
We're just really doing basic strength exercises, but
we're using a deck of cards to really spice things up and make it fun.
So what's gonna happen is we're going to draw a card from the deck and then based
on the suit that card, it corresponds with one of those strength exercises.
And the number that's on the card is how many reps, repetitions,
we will do of that exercise.
>> Okay. >> So we only have eight cards here so
we're gonna do two of each movement.
But for
you at home, we really want to challenge you to try to use an entire deck.
I know that seems a little bit intimidating.
And you probably will start to slow down as the cards get drawn towards the bottom
of that deck, but it'll lead to a really fantastic workout.
We really want to try to push ourselves, so.
>> Burn baby burn.
>> You ready to go?
Okay, so this first one off the top, we have a nine of clubs.
So clubs is going to mean sit-ups which means we have nine sit-ups to start.
>> Nine sit-ups.
>> Nine, yep.
>> Really get the extra crunch in at the end.
>> Three, four and then I'll just do a regular one.
>> Everyone.
>> Six, seven,
eight, nine.
All right, so floating, doing nine setups.
>> But I'm sweating, I'm just joking but
I'm actually serious like something is better than nothing.
Nine sit ups gets you sweating.
>> But also don't forget that there are many more cards in this deck so
you wouldn't end up just doing nine setups.
You'd end up doing as many clubs cards there are in the deck.
Those and I don't even know what that number [CROSSTALK]
>> Just punch my stomach and
feel how hard my abs are.
>> Wow.
>> [LAUGH] >> Jack of diamonds which is 10,
so diamonds is gonna be squat so we'll do air squats.
>> And not these squats are so good.
>> They're so great.
>> Because you're using your own bodyweight, so
it gets back down to making, you can do this in a hotel room before a match.
I actually do this before I wrestle.
>> Do you? >> Three squats.
>> Because it's a full body workout.
>> Can I face you?
>> Yeah, you can face me.
Okay, ready? >> Full body workout and
you're engaging your core, you're using your legs.
You wanna squeeze your arm.
>> If you want to do it quicker, it becomes a little bit more cardio.
>> You can do a pulsing squat.
Yeah, okay, so ready we've got 10.
>> Yep, one, two, three.
And squeeze your butt at the top if you want a little bit of an extra burn.
>> How many are we at?
>> Nine. >> Ten.
>> All right.
>> Good job. >> Nice job, okay.
>> Again it just gets to your leg.
>> Yeah.
>> Body warm- [CROSSTALK] >> I mean, I'm feeling it for sure.
We have a seven of spades now and spades is going to equate to pushups.
>> Pushups. >> So
that's gonna be seven push ups for us.
>> Let's do it.
>> All right, and we said before,
there's different modifications that you can do for each exercise this one.
If you don't feel comfortable having yourself in a plank position and
going all the way down to push up, you can always put your knees on the ground.
That comes a little bit easier, but it might be a good starting point for
someone who's not used to doing push ups.
>> Yeah, and push up too hard because again, especially with women,
a lot of women don't have the same upper body strength that men do.
So you have to work up to it, but
it's a really good challenge, so maybe we can do it.
>> I think we got this so we have seven.
>> All right, so here we go.
>> One, two, three, four.
>> I'll to the last three. >> Five, six, seven.
>> Wow.
>> I mean, you have a whole string of those in a deck.
>> [LAUGH] That was actually really good.
>> Six of hearts is next.
>> I love hearts. >> And hearts is gonna be lunges.
>> Lunges. >> So since it's six,
we'll do three on each leg.
>> Okay, perfect.
>> Now if you had an odd number,
I would just encourage you to throw an extra one in there just so it stays even.
You always want to work out evenly on each side, because this is an even number.
>> I love doing lunges before I wrestle.
It really kind of opens up your hip flexors and it gets everything firing and
it's a really good pre match warm up.
>> And there's a lot of different things you can do.
Walking lunges if you have enough space,
you can keep just walking in a line, to lunge.
Or you could do a static lunge where we lunge forward and
then come back to our original position.
Let's do that, okay, ready?
>> Yep.
>> One, two, well, you can alternate legs like I'm doing or do all at the same time.
>> And then change legs.
[MUSIC]
[CROSSTALK] >> That really opens up my hips.
>> Lunges are great, these are very basic strength exercises, but
they are the ones that work the best.
You really don't need to get too complicated.
>> They're fundamental.
>> There you go, the foundation of fitness.
Well, that was so much fun.
I loved that and you know what?
I actually really enjoy this type of workout because there's really no
thinking involved.
>> Right. >> You grab a card and
it tells you exactly what you need to do.
It's almost like a game which I love.
>> And it's so good when you have a partner to work out.
>> Absolutely. >> It motivates you.
>> So you could grab the deck of cards, head over to your friend's house,
a family member's house.
I mean, but even if you are by yourself.
>> Anywhere.
>> Such a great workout.
And if you do the whole deck, I promise you, you will be feeling it the next day.
So we really wanna encourage everyone to try to get some exercise in
every single day.
I know that sometimes it's tough, but if you can aim for one hour a day,
that's 60 minutes.
You will feel- >> So good.
>> So great.
So that's what's really important, also,
of course, very important is staying hydrated while you're at it.
>> I would like to toast to us, just living our best lives,
working out, staying hydrated.
>> Living this fit lives.
>> Yes. >> Hashtag fit life.
>> It's feeling good and really starts from within.
>> It does, this is very true and I wanna say thank you obviously for
doing this workout with me.
But also to Nestlé Pure Life because water is one of the building blocks of fitness
as we all know.
And we wanna thank them for keeping us hydrated during our workout together.
So cheers.
Now we want to know how you and your family stay fit and healthy together.
You can let us know using the hashtag choosewater and
also hashtag WWExNestlepurelifesweepstakes.
Because you then could win a chance to tell us yourself over a virtual meet
and greet.
