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

Form tips:

• use your glutes to help you shift each way 
• take your time and listen to your body

Lateral Lunge Stretch

Warm-Up

Complete reps on both sides 

Form Tips:
• elbows below shoulders
• knees below hips 
• lock in abs and hips

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

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!
