Modifications: use a lighter band

Lateral Band Walk

- Use a light resistance band 
- Standing with your feet shoulder width apart gripping a band directly in front of your body
- Pull the band apart slightly, keep your arms straight, bring the band up and overhead 
- Once the band is directly behind your body reverse the movement back to starting position
- Keep core braced arms straight the entire time
- Start with a wide grip until you get more comfortable with the movement

Band Pass Throughs

-Lie flat on your stomach, engage the glutes and place forehead on the floor

Walkout Push Up Spider Lunge T Frame

Warm Up

- Start off with one push up + renegade rows
- Keep a wide base and core braced to minimize the shifting of your hips during the rows 
- Then, jump to your feet with the bells being about 10-12 inches in front of your body
- Tip the bells towards you, engage your lats and create full body tension
- Hike to bells between your legs keeping the bells high in the crotch
- Explosively extend your hips while simultaneously jumping the bells up with the legs as you pull the bells up keeping the bells tight to your body 
- Smoothly rotate the bells around your wrists into the front rack to complete one power clean
- Pause for a second, then perform one thruster lowering down slightly below 90 degrees keeping your chest nice and tall and heels down
- Explosively drive up out of the bottom of the squat right into the overhead press keeping your core braced as you extend your arms overhead 
- Lower the bells back down to the front rack
-Then, perform 1 front rack back lunge on each leg making sure to lightly touch your back knee to the floor to entire full range of motion 
- Slightly cast the bells away from you as you hinge at the hips to go into the hike position then lowering the bells back to the floor with control 
- That entire sequence = 1 rep 

Modifications: use lighter weight and or shorten the range of motion on the the exercises as needed. You can also just step back when going into the push up renegade rows and step back in to go into your power clean as opposed to jumping out and jumping back

- Raise your legs and your upper body off the floor, reaching the kettlebell toward your toes. If you can’t reach your toes just reach as far as you can

Good workout. Every once in awhile I notice the workout reads a little differently on the first page then what is actually written in the demos portion. When those differences happen would it be best to preform the workout how it’s written or how it’s written once you hit the “start workout” portion?
