- Chin and chest up 
- Focus on pulling through your elbows and not allowing your arms to overpower
- If you’re using a squat cage, you can use a heavy resistance band (message me for recommendations) to help assist your pull up progression.
- If you’re at the gym, look for the pull up machine that can help you with assisted pull-ups

Assisted pull-ups

- Lean forward slightly 
- Keep a slight bend at the elbow throughout the movement 
- As you bring the rope/straight bar down, engage your lats

Straight arm pulldown (cable)

- Grab the bar with your palms facing forward with a wide grip
- Lean back slightly to around 30 degrees, keeping your chest up                                                                                                                                                                                  
- Bring the bar down to your upper chest engaging your back as you pull
- Pause and return to the initial position

Wide grip lat pulldown

- Support yourself using your opposite arm (you can use a bench or a rack)
- Row dumbbell to your hip while retracting your shoulder back

Single arm dumbbell row

- Grab criss crossed cables in each hand, arms extended out in front of your body
- Keeping a slight bend in the elbows
- Move your arms backward and outward until you have reached full extension
- Reverse movement back to starting position

Rear delt cable fly

- Position a bar in a rack to about waist height
- With your heels on the ground with your arms fully extended  
- Your body should be straight hanging underneath the bar 
- Flexing the elbow, pull your chest towards the bar, retract your shoulder blades
- Pause at the top then return yourself to starting position

Inverted row

30 mins of cardio! Power walk (if your treadmill allows incline, do that), but if you go walk outside— put some pep in your step! This is a POWER WALK! You may also run/jog if you wish! OR if you prefer the elliptical, bike or stair master, you can do that in place of walk.

Put on your fave playlist and remind yourself— you can do this!

Get it done, friend!

I love the plans! I workout from home so a listed at home alternative to some typical gym equipment would be super helpful.

Ashley I have a problem with the app. On several of the exercises I read them first before watching the video. When I did this I can’t get the video to load. I just get the circle loading sign forever. How
Do I fix this?
