The finisher and the core circuit!!! 🔥

Thursday “Pull Day” with a core circuit to end! Make sure to select the appropriate core circuit for you.. and be mindful of core engagement throughout!

There is a TVA instructional video found in the core section.

- You need a bench or a sturdy thigh-high platform to lean on when doing the exercise, so secure that first and place a dumbbell on the floor to one side of it. Put your left leg on the bench and grab the far side with your left hand, then bend over so your upper body is parallel with the ground. Reach down and pick up the dumbbell in your right hand with a neutral grip (palm facing you), then hold it with your arm extended, keeping your back straight.

- Bring the dumbbell up to your chest, concentrating on lifting it with your back and shoulder muscles rather than your arms. Keep your chest still as you lift. At the top of the movement, squeeze your shoulder and back muscles. Lower the dumbbell slowly until your arm is fully extended again. Do all your reps on one arm before switching to the other side.

- Reps are per side

Single Arm Bent Over Row

- Hinge forward holding the dumbbell with two hands behind your head
- Bend at the knee slightly
- As you come back up you should feel it in your hamstrings

DB good morning

Superset:

- Curl the dumbbells up 
- Rotate your wrists at the top 
- Lower the weights with your palms facing the ground
- Focus on a slow controlled movement

Zottman curl

- Hold the dumbbells with your palms facing away from you and out to your sides
- Curl the dumbbell up engaging your bicep 
- Lower with a controlled motion
- Repeat on the opposite side

Wide bicep curls

- Pull the dumbbell up keeping your elbow close to your body
- Engage your lat as you pull
- Keep your hips squared

DB renegade rows

Alternate between floor and incline push-ups

Incline to floor push-ups

Drop Set! Start with a heavy weight until you reach failure and then decrease to a lighter weight to continue the reps until you reach 30!

Alternating Full to Half Bicep Curls

Finisher:

- Begin in a push up position with a dumbbell place on one side of your body
- With the opposite hand pull the dumbbell through to the other side

DB plank pull throughs

- Start on your hands and feet with your legs bent at 90 degrees
- With short range of motion crawl forward on your hands and feet
- Keep a neutral spine

Bear crawl

-The spider crunch is a core exercise that begins in a straight-arm plank position and involves raising one knee toward your same-side elbow to target the obliques. 

-It is similar to a mountain climber, but with the knees out wider. It can be performed for time or reps as bodyweight ab training or conditioning.

Spider crunch

Core Circuit:

- Start in a T side plank hold
- Raise your upper leg
- Lower it back to the starting position and repeat
* 12 per side

Side plank + leg raise

Start seated with your hands on the ground behind your back. 

Place your feet about an inch further than hips-width apart and bend your knees. 

Lower your left knee down to the ground without moving your right leg. 

Raise your left knee back up, returning to the starting position

Knee Drops

- Lay on the floor with your legs bent and a band above your knees 
- Push through your heels bringing your glutes up
- Keeping your feet aligned with your knees 
- Push your legs out against the band and back in
- Ensure your movement against the resistance is smooth and controlled
