Happy Thursday! Just know I’m cheering for you as loud as I can!

This has been my warmup for about 10 years.

5 reps of everything, just once through.

Recommended reps: 5-10 per side 

Modifications: limit range of motion 

Substitutions: 90/90 swivels with bend 

Form:
-start seated in the ground with your ribs stacked over your pelvis and your sit bones firmly planted in the ground 
-have your feet firmly planted on the ground with bent knees
-seated straight begin to lower your knees maintaining their bend to the ground so that your front and back legs are bent at 90 degrees 
-be sure to keep your ribs stacked over pelvis through this exercise 
-from here lower your torso down as far as you can while reaching your hands as far forward as you can 
-begin to walk or swoop your hands a couple so that your torso follows your hands as reach towards your opposite leg in a circular reach, extended as far outward as possible,
-pause at the depth of your stretch 
-swoop your hands back so that your torso is pointing over your front shin 
-then lift your chest, stretch your hand up and over to get a full torso stretch 
-repeat

90/90 Around The World

Recommended reps: 5 per side 
Recommended sets: 1
Recommended weight: none 

Modifications: place your hands down on the ground for more stability, limit range of motion 

Form:
-start seated on the ground with your ribs stacked over your pelvis, your sit bones firmly planted on the ground and your legs extended out at 45 degree angle 
-take one foot and place it flat on the ground so that your knee is bent
-keeping your chest stacked over your pelvis (don’t let it fall backwards) lower your knee inward as for as range of motion allows 
-ONLY go as far as feels good
-lower to your depth and then externally rotate it back to starting position 
-repeat reps on both sides

Seated Internal Rotation

Recommended reps: 5-10 per side
 
Form:
-Start laying on your back with a block between your knees 
-begin by taking a 360 degree inhale.
-During the inhale portion of the breath, place your hands on the side of your ribcage and direct your breath into your hands (so your ribcage expands first) and then into your back (360 degree expansion)
-This will allow your belly to naturally rise slightly the last half of your breath while you deliberately and actively lengthen/soften your pelvic floor. 
-As you exhale, press into your glutes and heels to begin your glute bridge, you will exaggerate the exhale sound and begin lifting/contracting the pelvic floor. This is the deliberate deep core activation portion. Remember that while the pelvic floor is beginning to lift, wrap your TVA toward the midline of your body as you zip it up from your hip bones to rib cage wrapping tighter as your exhale breath is coming to an end.
-The deep core activation starts from your hip bones and slowly cinches its way inward until the top of your rib cage is left to zip. It’s an even draw in of the abdomen.
-on your next inhale actively release and relax your pelvic floor lowering your glutes to the ground 
-The Intentional Core Breath slow, deliberate, and controlled movements. These movements should almost be exaggerated. Be deep in your breaths and strong in your activations. Do not rush this breath work.
-Perform for one to two minutes.

The AMRAP + the TABATA will make you sweat. If you’re not sweating by the end of it, you didn’t give it your all. 

This one was fun!

Summer Burn| Week 8 Day 2| Metabolic Conditioning

It was intense and I catch my breath and I took it slow. I enjoyed moving around.

Just when I start to think I’m getting the hang of these summer burn workouts…you humble me! 😅😅

Brooke

Summer Burn| Week 5 Day 5| 40 Min Mobility: Follow Along

Spicy and efficient! Did the 3 min EMOM and had about 30-40 seconds at the end of each round except the last round when I was struggling. Got through the second circuit in about 12min if the rest periods aren’t counted and 15 with 45 sec rest after each set

Summer Burn| Week 5 Day 4| Full Body Conditioning Flow

Will 100000% be feeli by those Supermans tomorrow! 🙇🏻‍♀️

That first circuit is one of my faves. Was dripping sweat by the end. Needed that!

Felt good to stretch out the aches and pains

Loved this! Upped weight for just about everything and felt good!

Summer Burn: Week 4 Day 4| Full Body Conditioning/Flow

Definitely started to lose grip strength in the second circuit at the 3rd set. Had to give up on the hanging tuck ups because I could literally not hold on! 🥹

Shoulder hurt with the hanging core work so I changed that to leg lifts

Summer Burn| Week 4 Day 3| Functional Strength & Core

Dying! Love these workouts. I can’t finish within the minute most of the time, but I’ll get there!

Always love mobility at the end of the week. 😍

Summer Burn| Week 3 Day 5| Pelvic Floor  + Cardio

I have not been motivated at all these last couple weeks with illness and just tired of working night shift. I feel like I’m going backwards on my progression.  One day at a time.

Started the night before then finished after midnight. Just what I needed.

Summer Burn| Week 3 Day 4| Functional Strength + Core

I loved this! The bi weekly Pilates really served me for this and it was nice to feel rather than see the work I’ve been doing!!!

This was a good deload week workout that still challenges!

Summer Burn| Week 3 Day 3| Power & Athleticism

Running on low fumes today so this one didn’t hit as much since I didn’t push myself as hard but I’m glad I got some movement in either way

Really enjoy this one for the simplicity!!

Definitely upped my weights and felt great to see the progression in a few weeks!

Summer Burn| Week 3 Day 2| Functional Strength & Core

Completed this Thursday but forgot to finish in app!

Might be low impact but not low on sweat 🥵 loved it!

Loved the break from all the plyo but no less of a sweaty mess than normal. 🥵 😂

Janessa Orwig

Summer Burn| Week 3 Day 1| Power + Athleticism

Loved this! Had both of my sons join in; they play club soccer and wrestle and they both struggled through the mobility. Trying to teach them to be intentional with their breaths and movements! We will be returning to this!

Krista

Dina

It was good. As a former dancer, it was interesting to see how mobile I still am in some areas even while being SO tight in other areas from being postpartum. I really appreciated it. Thank you!

KaLinda

Summer Burn| Week 2 Day 5| 40 Min Mobility: Follow Along

Love all the mobility exercises that you have in place….

Arpita

Think I could have gone from 4 min to 3 which was surprising because I really thought I’d be dragging today due to soreness but I had about 1:35 at the end of each EMOM. Got through circuit b in about 14 min with round 3 being the fastest after I found the flow.

Loved the 3 or 4 min EMOM!! Sooo good! 🔥

Summer Burn| Week 2 Day 4| Full Body Conditioning Flow

Slow burn! 🔥 
Those Superman’s about had me dead and I usually love a Superman! Humbling

My legs were quivering at the end of that. 3 mile run before probably didn’t help. But man those Superman’s burn it all out

Summer Burn| Week 2 Day 3| Functional Strength + Core

Loved this one! Burpees are a love/hate. Love because they work so well, hate because they work so well 🤣

Julia

Summer Burn| Week 2 Day 1: Power + Athleticism

I always forget how impactful and good it feels to slow down and do some mobility. Some great work in there

Summer Burn| Week 1 Day 5: Core + Recovery

chio

Steph

Summer Burn: Week 1 Day 4| Full Body Conditioning/Flow

Summer Burn| Week 1 Day 3| Functional Strength & Core

Brittany

Love the EMOM! The single leg hops were WILD 🔥🥵

Summer Burn| Week 1 Day 2l Metabolic Conditioning

NEW! Summer Burn| Week 1 Day 1| Power Athleticm-5.12

Love this one! Still wishing these were a tiny bit shorter time wise but loving the strength + conditioning piece!

MADE myself do this. That mental strength training though

Wk2/Day 3 PHASE 1 |2.20.25 | Quads, Glutes & Adductors

Whew! This went both faster and harder than I expected! I usually think of arm days as being slower and lower heart rates but this had me shaking and sweating! 🥵

The finisher is such a fun challenge! 5 mins for me

Wk2/Day 3 PHASE 1 |2.21.25| Chest, Triceps & Delts

That last drop sequence about took me out! Hamstrings WILL be feeling that tomorrow. Tried to go lighter in some areas as I’m planning a long run tomorrow and don’t wanna be too sore but still kicked my butt!

It was good but I will need to add more to the warm up.

Kass

Wk2/Day 1 PHASE 1 | 2.17.25|  Glutes, Hamstrings & Adductors

Didn't get to the 7 mins amarap but did the rest

KRYSTAL

Did half the workout coming off the flu but still feeling like a badass! 💪

Wk2/Day 2 PHASE 1 | 2.18.25| Back, Biceps & Delts

🥹🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵
Did this after a 2.5 mile run and whoooooo boy! Had to use more assistance with sissy squats than normal which was slightly disappointing but think that’s just due to fatigue from the run

Single leg squats killed me… but I was giving the full variation of sisy squats a go and succeeded for one round, little wins

Janine

Amanda

Wk 4 1.30.25 Quads, Glutes & Adductors   

Great workout! My shoulders and chest are shaking!

Shiloh

This series was fun! Looking forward to revisiting these exercises in the future!

Wk 4 |1.31.25| Triceps & Delts 

Fantastic workout! Didn’t mind doing legs tonight, kept my weights the same and see how my recovery feels.

Kiki

WK 4| 1.27.25| Glutes, Hamstrings & Adductors

Great workout! Enjoyed this upper body one!

got it done with a 2 mile recovery run!!🏃🏼‍♀️‍➡️

Wk 4 |1.28.25| Back, Biceps & Delts  

Can’t believe I got through that. I didn’t feel like working out but hit some new PR’s to my current progress. Feels good!
