Description: Lower Body Push - Gym

Lie on your mat on your stomach. Extend your arms out wide at shoulder level. 
Turn your head to look at your left fingers so your right ear is on the ground. 
Lift your left leg off the floor and bend the knee. 
Take the leg across the body towards your right fingers. It doesn’t matter if it doesn’t make it all the way, but try to pull away from your hips and twist your spine to enhance the stretch. 
Take a deep breath at the end of the posture before you release back to the starting pose. 
Repeat on the other side.

Scorpions

Lift your head, relax your shoulders away from your ears, and gaze straight ahead. As you exhale, come into cat pose while rounding your spine outward, tucking in your tailbone, and drawing your pubic bone forward. Release your head toward the floor — just don't force your chin to your chest.

Cat cow

Sit on the floor and bend one leg in front of your body with your hip rotated out. Position it so your lower leg and knee are resting on the ground. Your leg should form a 90-degree angle, and your ankle should be neutral so your foot is pointing straight.
Position your other leg beside you with your hip rotated inward and your shin and ankle on the ground. Bend your knee so your leg forms a 90-degree angle. Your back knee should be in line with your hip, and your ankle should be neutral.
Try to keep your back straight and resist the urge to bend to one side. Think about sitting into both hips equally and easing the lifted hip straight down toward the ground.

From here place both arms down to the ground in front of you and lower onto your elbows and then back up.

90/90 up downs (10 per side)

In a seated position, lean back on your hands, and bring both feet close to your body with your knees up. From here, you will lean both knees to one side and let them fall gently to the ground. Then you will pick them up and let them drop to the other side.

Leaning back 90-90 hip openers

Lie on your stomach with your arms (overhead) and legs fully extended while keeping your head relaxed and spine neutral by looking at the floor in front of you instead of up.
Contract your core muscles to stabilize your spine, while simultaneously raising both your legs and arms a few inches off the ground, keeping your head and neck neutral.
Hold at top for 3–5 seconds.
Gently lower yourself back to the starting position and repeat.

Pro tip: It's very important to keep your head and neck neutral throughout the exercise and avoid jerky movements. Instead, work on synchronizing the lift and lower of all four limbs with control.

MODIFICATION: alternating Superman’s 
Start by lying on your belly with your arms and legs extended. Pull your belly button in toward your spine (think of peeling it off of the floor) to turn on your core muscles. While maintaining your gaze on the floor, slightly lift your head off the floor. Lift your right arm and left leg three to five inches off of the floor as you inhale. Exhale to lower your limbs. Repeat on the other side for the same three sets of 10-12 reps.

Superman with a hold

Sit in a deep squat position. Push your elbows against your knees gently and then let your knees gently fall back in and repeat that motion. 

If it’s too uncomfortable to sit that low, you can sit on a low seat or bench and do this same movement. 

You can place a block underneath your bottom for more comfort.

Deep squat hip openers

Sit down and bring one leg into your chest. Hold with both hands and then lift one leg up and over a kettlebell and back while keeping your knee straight. 

Use your hips and core to lift your leg up and over.

Straight-leg single-leg lift over kettlebell (20 each)

In a half kneeling position, lift one leg up and over a kettlebell. Hold onto a stable surface with one arm to help stabilize the body. 

Use your hips and core to lift your leg up and over.

Half kneeling single-leg lift over kettlebell (20 each)

Step forward with your left leg, and lower your body into a lunge. As you go down, place your right hand on the floor so it’s even with your left foot. Your right knee should remain above the floor—not touching.

Now move your left elbow inside your left foot, and rest it on the floor. Square your hips so you feel a stretch on both sides, and try to keep your back as flat as possible.

Move your left hand outside your left foot, and twist to reach for the sky. Try to pull the toes on your left foot up to your shin.

Then stand up and alternate legs.

Worlds greatest stretch

- Standing straight holding onto a stationary object
- With feet hip width apart
- Swing one leg forward and backward in a single movement 
- Switch sides and repeat

Forward leg swings (15 each)

Stay in a nice athletic position and step laterally and feel your glutes engage. Keep a slight bend in your knees and keep your core engaged and strong.

Banded lateral steps

- Position a band around your legs just above your knees
- With your knees slightly bent, take diagonal steps forward and back
- Keep your hips down and toes pointed forward

Monster walks

- Stand with feet shoulder width apart
- Lower in to the bottom of a squat pushing your hips back and down
- Stand up out of squat to full hip extension keeping your chest up
- Your knees should be inline with your toes

Air squats

Lower Body Warm-up (1-2 rounds)

- Keeping your back flat against the pad
- Lower your legs towards your chest
- Drive through your heels to press back to starting position

Leg press Machine

Put your hands on a bar slightly wider than your shoulders and grab it with the overhand grip. Unrack the barbell and take a step backward. The stance width depends on your mobility and flexibility but you should place your feet wider than the shoulders. Point your toes and knees out at about 45°. Tense the abs and back to maintain a stable and firm position. Look straight ahead.


Take a deep breath and embrace your core. Move your glutes slightly backward and bend your knees, keeping them in line with your toes. Keep the back flat and don’t lean forward. Concentrate on activating your lower body, especially the inner thighs.

You can stop when your thighs are parallel to the floor – it is just the middle ground. Yet, you can vary the depth, depending on your mobility and flexibility – the main point is to keep your torso upright and avoid the ‘but wink’.

Start going up slowly, engaging all your leg muscles and breathing out. Don’t relax your core – keep it tense throughout the whole movement. At the top, make sure not no drive your hips forward.

Usually, 3-4 sets for 8-10 reps are just enough for a regular workout. If you want to boost your maximum strength, use a heavier weight and decrease the reps to 3-5, and if you squat without any resistance, you can go for higher reps to provide enough stress for your muscles.

Barbell sumo squat

- Adjust leg extension machine to fit
- Select weight
- Extend your legs
- Release your legs back to starting position

Seated leg extension with a slow lower

- Hold the cable attachment in goblet position
- Stand with feet shoulder width apart
- Lower in to the bottom of a squat pushing your hips back and down
- Stand up out of squat to full hip extension keeping your chest up
- Your knees should be inline with your toes

Cable goblet squat

- Drive off your foot from the box
- Bring your opposite foot/leg to the box 
- be explosive and alternate stepping up 
*modify by stepping instead of jumping

Explosive box knee drive

- Place your feet hip-width apart, and dumbbells at your sides
- Take a big step to the side
- Land with your heel, flex the knee to lower your hip and body until your knee and hip are at a 90 degree angle 
- Keep opposite leg only slightly angled
- Return to the starting position by extending your hip and knee 
- Once they are straight, bring your foot back in to a standing tall position

Lateral lunge Bodyweight (alternating)

- Keep your chest up and hold dumbbells at your sides
- Step back and bring your knee down until both legs are at 90 degrees
- Then lift that back leg straight up and engage your glute 
- Lower back to the initial position 
- complete all reps on one leg 
- switch legs and repeat

Dumbbell reverse lunge w/ kickback (10 each)
