Love this workout and kind of hate it at the same time. It’s hard work!

Ladder of decreasing reps. Total of 4 rounds following this rep count:

12-10-8-6

Work through these at a steady pace with no rest

-The “prisoner” arm positioning (hands behind your head) requires you to really stabilize the muscles in your core as well as your back and shoulders. 
-Maintain good squatting form with arms bent placed behind your head

Prisoner squat

-Hold DB sideways
-Lower into squat with arms extended between legs
-As you come up from the squat begin to curl the weight up to your chest
-Once standing, press the weight overhead
-Bring back down with the same timing
-Repeat

1DB Squat Curl to Press

-Begin in high plank position
-Step one foot to the outside of your hand on the same side
-Feel the hop of extended leg drop towards the ground, enough to feel a stretch
-Step back into high plank and repeat on the otherside

‼️Rep count - total for both sides. E.g - 12 reps means 6 per side

Alternating High Plank Deep Lunges

- From elbow plank position 
- Push your hands up to high plank 
- Reverse movement back down to the elbows 
- Maintain a tight core throughout the movement - keeping hips level with each other and also with your shoulders
- Alternate the arm that you lead with - push up on right and come down on the right. Then lead with the left and come back down on the left….

‼️Rep count is for the total number not per side

Plank Up Downs

Warming Up

- Start with your feet close togethe
- Slightly hopping, you will drop down into a squat pushing your knees and landing softly 
- Hop back up to starting position

Pop Squats

-Begin in split squat position
-DB will be held in the opposite hand from the leg that is working (the one that is forward)
-When lowering into the split squat, DB is held at shoulder height with palm facing inwards 
-Simultaneously press weight overhead as you push up to the top of the split squat through the front leg 
-Lower and repeat

‼️ Rep count is per side. E.g 15 reps means do 15 per side

Split Squat with 1 DB Press

- Start in a plank position 
- Drive your knees towards your chest one at a time back and forth 
- Increase speed as you feel comfortable
-REP COUNT = TOTAL # (E.g 40 means 20 per leg)

Mountain climbers

-At the top of each burpee do one jumping jack

Modifications:
- Hardest = chest to floor 
- Alternatives = jump out to high plank
= step out into a high plank and jump back in
- Easier. = jump out into burpees with hands on an elevated surface

Burpee to Jumping Jack

High Intensity

-Come down on your side, with forearm beneath you and knees bent to about a 90-degree angle -Press up into a side plank, pushing your hips forward so they're in the same plane as your torso, and press your top hip toward the ceiling
-Extend top leg so it is straight. Option to keep it grounded or suspended in the air
‼️Drive bottom knee into the ground by squeezing glute. Feel the activation!!!!!

Elbow Side Plank from Knee

- Hold your arms and legs extended above the floor
- Keep your core engaged and your lower back on the floor
