- Take controlled lateral steps with only a slight bend of the knees
- Keep your hips squared, toes pointed forward, and keep good posture
- Make sure to lift your feet up on each step. Never drag your feet

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
-Bring your arms to a 90 degree position  similar to the shape of a W
- Lift your arms up as high as you can keeping your forehead on the floor
- Then, press your arms overhead 
- Reverse the movement and repeat

Modifications: do the movement on a incline bench

Prone W Lift + Press

- Start standing, walkout to the high plank position 
- Complete a single push-up 
- Then, complete a spider lunge to T frame on each side
- Then, walk back up to starting position 
- The whole sequence is 1 rep

Modifications: shorten the range of motion on the push ups or remove the push ups altogether

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

KB Beast Maker

- Start lying on your back with a kettlebell in hand, arm locked out and knees slightly bent 
- Sit up keeping your arm straight

- Make sure to drive your knee outward and keep your chest up
- Lower down with control leaving that same leg on the box and repeat

*Try to use the leg that's on the ground as little as possible. Really try and make the leg that's on the box do all of the work

Modifications: use lighter weight and or use a lower box or bench. The lower it is the easier it will be

KB Lateral Step Ups

-Stand with feet shoulder width and a kettlebell in each hand in the front rack position
- Brace your core and engage your glutes 
-Press the kettlebells overhead in a seesaw fashion. As one is going up the other is going down so the arms are always in motion

- Contract your middle deltoid then slowly lower the bell back down your side and repeat on the other side 
- 1 lateral raise = 1 lateral raise 

Modifications: use lighter weight. You can also use dumbbells if you prefer

KB Kneeling S. Arm Lateral Raise (alt arms)

- Start in a hollow body hold position, feet together, toes pointed, quads flexed, lower back pinned to the ground with arms extended overhead with the kettlebell right about eye level
- Maintaining the hollow position, lower the kettlebell back as far as you can with control then pull it back to the start position

It was great to be back after a 2 week hiatus. Training through an injury at the moment so couldn't push as hard as I normally would've liked.

Good week, good life. To the day, let's go!

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?
