Cat cow

Setup: Get into a quadruped position with the knees under the hips and the hands under the shoulders with the spine in a neutral position. For the first position, place one hand on the upper back or back of the neck. Do not pull down or put pressure into neck with hand.

Action: Begin to rotate leading with the eyes, head and shoulder as far as possible down toward the hand. Then reverse the motion leading with the eyes, head and shoulder rotating upwards as far as possible. Maintain position of opposite arm with elbow extended while moving in both directions and keep the lumbar, thoracic and cervical aligned during rotation. For second position, change the hand position and place it on the low back with the palm facing up. Repeat the exercise with the hand in this position.

Return: Bring the hand back to the start position under the shoulder returning to the full quadruped position after the exercise.

Quadruped T-Spine Thoracic Rotations (15 reps each arm)

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

In the half kneeling position, straighten your front knee, reaching for your toe. You should fill a deep stretch in your hamstrings. And then return to the starting position. Repeat on both sides.

Dynamic half kneeling runners stretch (10 each side)

Get into a runners lunge. Begin in a plank position with hands directly below shoulders.
 Step your right foot forward to the outer edge of your mat next to your right pinky finger.
Relax through your hips and back, letting them sink toward the ground. 

From here, open up your chest so one arm is on the ground. Then go the opposite direction. Keep alternating sides.

Runners lunge upper body rotations (20 per leg)

- Begin by standing tall, bend at the waist and place hands on the floor
- Walk your hands out until your body is flat
- Walk your hands back towards your feet reversing the movement back to starting position
- Repeating the entire sequence for time or reps

Inchworms

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

- Sit back and down into a deep squat
- Gently press your knees out and let them come back in 
- repeat for time or reps

Deep squat hip openers

- Stand in a wide stance holding your hands out to the side
- Hinge at the waist reaching across and touching the opposite toe with your hand
- Alternate back and forth

Opposite toe touches

- 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

Keep your hands on your head as you kneel and stand.

Prisoner kneel to stand

- Start with your hands on a box
- Perform a push-up coming down slowly
- Keep your core engaged
- if your core is coning, elevate into a high box or even onto the wall

Incline push up

Full Body Warm-up

- Sit up straight and bend forward at the hips
- Come forward on the rower 
- Push against the foot pedals and extend your legs while bringing your hands to your upper abdominal area
- Straighten your arms, bending the knees, and bring your body forward again

Row Machine

- Starting an arms distance away from the wall
- Feet hip with apart and holding a ball at chest height
- Drop your butt back into a deep squat, keeping your chest up
- Drive through heels exploding out of the squat while tossing the ball to a target on the wall
- Catch the rebounded ball lowering back into a squat
- Repeating the movement

Wall Balls

Drive up through your heel, maintain good posture as you stand up onto the box and drive that opposite knee up so you’re creating a 90 degree angle. Repeat all the reps on one side and then switch.

Weighted step-up knee drive

- Pull the dumbbell straight up leading with your elbow 
- Extend your arm at the top 
- Think of getting underneath the dumbbell as you pull

Alternating dumbbell power snatch (5 each)

Modify by bending at the knees and doing it without a dumbbell in your hands. 

Lay with your legs straight out in front of you
- As you raise your legs, reach the dumbbell toward the ceiling and raise your upper body off the floor
- Slowly lower yourself back and try not to use momentum
- you can do this movement on a bench or the floor

Dumbbell V-up

5 rounds for time (full body HIIT)

- Work for time, distance, or calories
- Increase speed as comfortable

Assault bike

Be explosive as possible here. Maintain a neutral spine and sit your booty back. Keep your chest up and get low!
