This is session 2 of a 4 session a week progressive training program, where the goal is to progress each week by increasing the weight by 5-10%. 

Focusing on keeping tension in the muscles throughout whilst achieving maximum range of motion, and retaining correct form and control. 

As this is a high volume phase of training, you’ll be starting with light to medium weights.

To be completed before all lower body workouts in order to prepare the body for exercise.

- Flex the hips to 45 degrees and the knees to approximately 90 degrees 
- Initiate the movement by abducting your top leg
- Push your knee away from the midline of your body                                                                                        
- Maintain contact between your feet throughout the movement
- Repeat on both sides

Glute warm up exercise

- Lying on your front with your arms stretched out at shoulder height
- Bring one leg up and over your body to reach the opposite hand (like a scorpion tail)
- Keeping your chest down at all times
