Description: W3/D3 Legs & Abs A

• Go down into squat position, get hips low while keeping chest mostly up.
• Put elbows on inside of knees, and drive elbows out to widen knees.
• Both feet on floor, one hand on floor and rotate other arm up.
• Finish with air squats

Squat mobility warmup

- Elbows under shoulders and hands out front
- Keep entire body tight as you hold position for time

Plank

- Lay with your legs slightly bent out in front of you
- As you raise your legs, reach your arms up and in
- Slowly lower yourself back and try not to use momentum
 
Modification: bend knees/elbows and shorter range of motion if you have discomfort in low back

V-up

Warmup prep

- Hold the dumbbell at chest height
- Squat down, keeping your chest up as you come down 
- Reach at least parallel and push through your feet to come up

Use a DB or KB

Goblet squat

- Start with DBs in your hands (as opposed to the floor), legs hip width apart
- Slowly lower the weight with a slight bend in your knees, hinging at the hips and keeping your back straight
- Lower weight until you feel a slight stretch in your hamstrings
- Drive your hips forward and use your hamstrings and glutes to power back to standing

RDL = Romanian Deadlift

Romanian deadlift, DB

- Hanging from the bar, keeping your legs extended with a slight bend in knees
- Initiate with abs and lats to bring knees up into your armpits
- Lower legs back down
- Avoid swinging

Modification: may use arm slings if not able to hold on to the bar

Hanging leg raises

Squat, dead, abs

- Get into lunge stance, weight on front foot, toes on back foot
- Holding weight is optional, but keep chest upright as you bend both knees
- Think of back knee going to floor, keeping weight on front leg and back shin parallel to floor
- Push through front foot to stand back up
- Perform all reps on one leg, then switch

Note: GET FORM DOWN PAT! Shown in goblet, but must have good form at bodyweight before loading. Can also perform with two DBs

Static lunge

- Pull your knee toward your chest while rotating your upper torso 
- Bring your opposite elbow to your knee 
- Repeat on the opposite side
- Focus on engaging your core

Bicycle crunches

Lunge & abs

- Place balls of feet on something to create a deficit
- Hold weight in your hand, use off hand for balance
- Push through the balls of your feet engaging your calves
- Squeeze calves at top, slowly lower down

Weighted calf raises

• Laying on floor, knees bent
• Squeeze abdominals to sit all the way up
• Try to not push with your back or have feet come up

Sit up

- Start in a plank position 
- Squeeze abs to drive knees towards your chest
- Alternate sides, increase speed as you feel comfortable
