Use these movements to help you warm up & activate your muscles before beginning your workout.

This move is great for improving mobility before your workout 

Form tips: 
• keep heels and toes planted 
• drive knees forward into a squat and feel a stretch in your hip flexors & ankles 
• drive knees back and feel a stretch in your hamstrings & glutes

Frog Squat Stretch

Beginner: don’t sink as low
Advanced: can go deeper into the stretch 

Form tips:
• keep knees in line with your toes 
• use your glutes to help you shift each way 
• take your time and listen to your body

Lateral Lunge Stretch

Ladder drill up to 7 abductions & back down:

Bridge x1 abduction 
Bridge x2 abductions
Bridge x3 abductions 
Bridge x4 abductions

✨Bridge x7 abductions 
Bridge x6 abductions 
Bridge x5 abductions 
Bridge x4 abductions 
Bridge x3 abductions 
Bridge x2 abductions 
Bridge x1 abduction 

Form tips:
• heels and toes planted (think about pushing through heels but don’t lift toes)

• drive up through glutes & squeeze
• drive out against band using your outer glutes (don’t let your hips fall during the abduction, maintain the bridge)

Glute Bridge to Abduction Ladder Drill (in description)

Warm-Up

Advanced: barbell or dumbbell
Beginner: dumbbell or bodyweight 

Form tips: 
• shoulder blades on bench/box
• chin tucked 
• feet hip width apart with toes pointed forward, heels planted and toes gripping the ground 
• feet should be right below knees at the top of the thrust (if they are too far forward you’ll feel it more in your hamstrings, if they are too far back you will feel it more in your quads & knees)
• keep knees in line with toes as you drive up and lower 
• abs locked in and ribs locked down to protect your spine 
• squeeze your glutes at the top and lower with control 

❌ don’t arch your back at the top 
❌ don’t let your knees cave in 

✅ do go through the full range of motion (using a weight you can do so with) 
✅ do keep your core tight the entire time to protect your spine

Hip Thrust

Complete reps on both sides

Advanced: dumbbells
Intermediate: body weight 
Beginner: modification *only go as low as you feel comfortable to 

*watch the end of the video to see how to get into position 

Form tips: 
• front foot - heel planted and toes gripping the ground, toes pointed forward 
• back foot - resting 
• lock in your core and keep your spine neutral 
• slightly lean forward as you allow your hips to unlock and drive back. 
• let your knee unlock and slightly drive forward, staying in line with your toes 
• push the ground away using your front foot to drive back up 

❌ don’t round or arch your spine 
❌ don’t let your knee cave in 
❌ don’t use your back leg to help you drive up 

✅ do focus on using your glutes and quads 
✅ do lower with control and drive up through your heels

Bulgarian Split Squat

Beginner: dumbbells

*hold for 2 full seconds at the bottom while keeping glutes, hamstrings and abs flexed 

Form Tips: 
• Toes and knees pointing forward, hip width apart
• Good posture, neutral spine, and lock in everything from your hips up 
• Focus on driving your hips back towards the corner of the ceiling behind you 
• Keep your feet planted, toes gripping the floor and driving through your heels 

❌ don’t round or arch your back 
❌ don’t keep lowering any further once your hips stop moving back or your back will take on the load 

✅ do think about using your glutes & hamstrings  
✅ do slow down so you don’t use your back to lift the weight

• drive up thinking about using your quads

• just tap heel, don’t completely rest your leg down between reps

Leg Extension

This is a bonus finisher & optional to complete

Total reps include both sides (complete as many as possible in a row before resting. If you do need to rest, pause for a few seconds and jump back in until all reps are complete) 

Advanced: weighted 
Beginner: bodyweight or modification 

Form Tips: 
• Toes and knees pointing forward
• Good posture, neutral spine, and lock in everything from your hips up 
• Your focus is always on the leg that is forward 
• Plant your front foot with heel down and gripping the floor with your toes for balance 
• as you lower, allow your knee to come forward as you drive your hips back 
• push up through your heel, focusing on your glutes and quads 
• step together between each lunge to reset

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!
