Description: Lower Body Push

Julia

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

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

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

In a side plank position, place the top leg on a bench with the bottom leg under the bench. Lift the hips up until your body is in a straight line. Keep the lower leg off the floor. Reduce the difficulty to scale by keeping the foot of the lower leg on floor to assist, and/or by moving the bench closer toward the hips.

Box jump OR Squat Jump

Strength + Power Superset

Hold the dumbbell in a goblet squat hold. Squat and then stand. Step into a reverse lunge and repeat.

Goblet squat to reverse lunge

- Press up using your toes activating your calf muscles
- Lower slowly stretching the calf muscles

Can do this on stability ball or on bench

Seated calf raise

Get into a wide stance point your toes out slightly. You’re going to start by lunging laterally to one side. Instead of coming all the way back up out of the lunch, you are going to shift in a straight line, keeping your booty down and shift to the other side. Stay low and keep shifting back-and-forth for time or reps

Dumbbell lateral shifts

- Using a box that is roughly knee height
- Step up onto the box with speed switching legs in the air so that the opposite leg is the one you land and step down on.

Alternating Explosive Step-ups

- Begin with dumbbells at shoulders
- Step forward and lower down until 90 degrees
- Press through the front heel and stand up
- Repeat with the other leg
