Use these movements to help activate your muscles before beginning your workout. After the first exercise go straight into the second exercise with minimal rest. Then rest once both exercises are complete and repeat for the sets given.

❌ don’t arch your back or move your hips as you go through the rotations

• dumbbell or modification: weight should begin right between toes. Holding weight right between legs (elbows and knees touching) 
• lock into place before lifting: hips down and back, neutral spine, shoulders back, and abs locked in *check these points before every rep 
• drive through your heels, keeping your toes planted until you are standing straight up 
• as you lower, slightly drive hips back and down until you are in the same position you started in
• the weight should always move in a straight line up and down keeping it close to your body the entire time 

❌ don’t round your back when lifting 
❌ don’t tilt your pelvis forward into a butt squeeze at the top 
❌ don’t think about using your upper body to lift the weight 
❌ don’t let the weight swing/move away from your shins/feet as you lower

My biggest take away after my first flourish fit workout. I didn’t feel alone in my workout! I didn’t realize how just having a workout guide could help so much. I enjoy the time to myself as a busy mom and wife but this was so SO nice!
