Friday is our sweep day. 
We sweep through the body and hit all the areas we missed!

Each movement has a purpose so be sure to complete each exercise.
Always focus on form and breathing.

- Place your hands just outside the shoulders 
- Bend at the elbows to come down 
- Keep your core tight as you come down 
- Extend your arms engaging your chest as you come up

Modification: follow the above from kneeling position.

Push ups/Modified push ups

Great for warm up

Standing tall, make big circles with your arms.
Both directions.

Arm circles

Keep elbows high
Rotating at the shoulder as you perform the movememt

Shoulder rotations (warm up)

- Stand with your feet shoulder width apart 
- Bring your hands to your head 
- Hinge forward at your hips until your upper body is parallel with the floor 
- Stretching hamstrings and lower back
- Stand up to the starting position and repeat

Good morning

Warm up - pull day

Challenge your bench press weight and then drop weight for your lateral shoulders.

Reverse pull ups

Get in plank position and have someone or you place a plate or other weight on your mid back

Weighted plank

With hands on dumbbells, lower chest down to a burpee.

As you push up think tricep extension. Hip feet in, but don’t stand up and then repeat.

Sit down on bench or put the pulley down low and sit in the ground.

You can do this movement with a band too!

I did this one camping using bands. It was probably pretty funny to watch 😅
