Tempo: 2010

5. Keep alternating side to side.

Alternating Lateral Lunge (10/leg)

Tempo: 1010
1. Get down on the floor with your arms straight, hands just outside shoulder width and directly below your shoulders.
2. Ensure your body maintains a straight line from your feet all the way up to your head. To keep your body rigid in a straight line, and reduce any sagging, keep your abs, your glutes, your quads, and hamstrings tight throughout the movement.
3. To lower your body to the ground, bend your elbows until your chest hovers just above the ground.
4. Contract your chest and triceps to push yourself back up to the beginning position.
5. Repeat.

Push Up

The Alternating Single Leg Toe Touch is a bodyweight exercise that primarily targets the hamstrings and glutes, as well as challenging your balance and mobility. To get started:
1. Stand on one foot, with the other foot slightly raised, with your arms hanging by your sides.
2. Maintaining a flat back, with a natural slight arch, push your hips back, keeping your back leg straight and hips square as you lower your upper body and opposite arm towards your planted foot.
3. Once your upper body is parallel to the ground and you feel a good stretch in your hamstrings, touch your foot, then press through your foot through the floor, squeeze your glutes, and return to the upright position. 
4. Switch legs and repeat with the opposite side.

Alternating Single Toe Touch (10 reps/leg)

Warm Up

Complete all exercises in circuit format. 

Rest 30 seconds between exercises and 2 minutes after each circuit. 

Complete the indicated number of rounds based on your fitness level

BEGINNER: 2 sets of each exercise
INTERMEDIATE: 3 sets of each exercise
ADVANCED: 4 sets of each exercise

Tempo: 10X0
1. Stand on one side of a bench, then bend over and grip the front of the bench with both hands.
2. Bend your knees, then press your feet through ground and your hands into the bench to explosively hop to the other side of the bench.
3. Land softly with bent knees, then immediately repeat by hopping back to the other side of the bench. 
4. Repeat for reps.

Bench Jump Over (10/side)

Tempo: 10X0

The Alternating Step Up Hop is an explosive version of the step up that increases the strength and power in your legs. To get started: 
1. Place one foot on a stable step, box, or bench with your other foot on the floor.
2. While keeping your upper body upright, press your foot through the step to explode yourself up in the air.
3. Land softly with the opposite foot on the step and repeat.
4. Continue alternating legs for reps.

Alternating Step Up Hop (10/side)

1. Hold the ends of the jump rope in each hand.
2. With your feet hip-width apart, slightly bend your knees, and push the balls of your feet through the ground to jump up, point your toes to the ground, and with your hands by your waist, quickly rotate your wrists to make small circles to revolve the rope around your body.
3. Land softly on your toes, and quickly push off again from the balls of your feet. The idea is to jump over the rope as quickly as possible with a slight hop. Don’t think of jumping as high as you can, think about bouncing on the balls of your feet.
4. To make it harder, do double unders. This is when the rope revolves under your feet twice within one jump. Once again, the idea is not to just jump higher, the speed comes from the quick rotation of your wrists.

Speed Jump Rope

Tempo: 10X0
1. Get into a traditional push up position with your hands shoulder width apart and directly underneath your shoulders. Your body should form a straight line from your heels to the top of your head. 
2. Complete the push up by bending your elbows to lower your body to the ground, then keeping your core tight, explosively press your hands through the ground to push your upper body off the ground, then clap your hands together while you’re in the air.
3. Land softly with your hands back on the ground with your elbows cushioned, by immediately lowering into another push up.
4. Repeat for reps.

3. Use your arms to slowly move your body forward and backward over the foam roller from your hip to your knee to hit all areas of the quadriceps.
4. If you roll over a particular spot that feels extra tight and tender, hold it on that spot for 5-10 seconds to try and work it out.

Down Dog

3. Try to pull your legs into each other to keep your hips square and the glute of your bent leg touching the floor.
4. Lower your upper body down to your hands, elbows, or all the way to the floor, depending on your mobility.
