Description: Feb 4: Muscle Shock - Gym

Follow the warm up first.

Choose a weight that you can do 12 reps of for each exercise. 

Complete the first 12 reps, then set the weight down, and rest for approximately 20 seconds before your next set of 10. 

Continue completing each set, resting about 20 seconds between each set, until you complete your last set of just 2 reps. 

After finishing your last set, rest 2 minutes, then move on to exercise B. 

Always use good form and take your time doing it right. 

No sloppy reps. 

After the workout, move onto the cool down.

Follow these moves for the sets and reps indicated BEFORE your workout.

4. Continue alternating reps back and forth.

3. As you get back to standing, you lower the barbell back to the starting position.
4. Repeat with the opposite leg.

Follow these moves for the sets and reps indicated AFTER your workout.

1. Get down on your hands and knees with your feet against a wall or couch.

Couch Stretch (30 sec/leg)

Tempo: 1012
The Quadruped Thoracic Rotation is a great mobility exercise to help open up the front of your body, especially if you sit at a desk all day.

This activates the muscles in your back to help prevent your shoulders from being rolled forward.

To get started:
1. Get down on your knees in a kneeling position with knees slightly wider than hip width.
2. Flex your feet and press your toes into the ground.
3. Put both hands down on the ground with your arms straight and your palms directly under your shoulders.
4. Once you’re in this position, activate your core muscles to lock in your hips so they don’t rotate.
5. Your hips should remain parallel to the ground during this exercise.
6. Place one hand behind your ear, bring that elbow to the stationary elbow, then activate the muscles in your upper back and rotate your elbow to the sky.
7. Keep your core turned on, press through the ground with the straight arm, eyes following your elbow, and try to get as open with as much range of motion as possible.
8. Reverse the movement to touch elbows, repeat for reps, then switch arms.
