Warm It Up

*If you don’t have a plate, use a dumbbell*
-Hold a weight over your head with your arms straight
-Keep your core tight while doing a forward lunge
*Test this out with lighter weight then build up to a working weight where you will do your 8 reps
-8 reps each leg

Overhead Walking Lunge

Choose the variation of the ATG Split Squat you want to do. 

If you’ve never done them, start with assisted. Once you get the form down and feel comfortable do the body weight, then once that’s solid add weight!

Do 5 reps each leg, 30 sec break after 1 set each leg.

This exercise may seem a little strange to you, but it is SO good for your knees. 
-Use the wall for assistance 
-Bend your front leg, lower your body so your knee goes over your toe
-Try to get as much of the hamstring covering the calf as you can
-Keep your front heel either completely flat on the ground *it is ok for your heel to come 1-2 inches off the ground while you’re doing assisted, but try to work you way to keeping your heel flat
-Push through your front foot to raise back up
-Keep your back Glute tight and your rear leg almost straight the whole time

Assisted ATG Split Squat

This exercise may seem a little strange to you, but it is SO good for your knees. 
-Bend your front leg, lower your body so your knee goes over your toe
-Try to get as much of the hamstring covering the calf as you can
-Keep your front heel either completely flat on the ground *it is ok for your heel to come 1-2 inches off the ground while you’re doing assisted or body weight, but try to work you way to keeping your heel flat
-Push through your front foot to raise back up
-Keep your back Glute tight and your rear leg almost straight the whole time

ATG Split Squat

-5 reps each leg
-This exercise may seem a little strange to you, but it is SO good for your knees.  
-Bend your front leg, lower your body so your knee goes over your toe
-Try to get as much of the hamstring covering the calf as you can
-Keep your front heel either completely flat on the ground 
-Push through your front foot to raise back up
-Keep your back Glute tight and your rear leg almost straight the whole time

Weighted ATG Split Squat

ATG Split Squats

-Put your hands against a wall
-Walk your feet out to the furthest point you can keep your heels flat on the ground, you should feel a stretch in your calf
-Raise your heels up and back down

FHL Calf Raise

-Put one foot up on an elevated surface
-Hop the lead leg out, when your at the bottom of the exercise your leg should be at about 90 degrees (having the foot closer to the bench works more of the quads, and further away at 90 or a little past is more glutes)
-Try this a couple times without weights, once you get your balance, add weights
-10 reps each side

Bulgarian Split Squat

*Modifications: do this without a decline or without a delince on your knees 
-Put your feet on a bench or elevated surface while in a hand plank
-One arm at a time drop to your forearms
-Try to not let your hips move side to side as much as possible by keeping your core tight 
-Walk back up to your hands

Decline Military Plank

Triset

-Put you feet shoulder width apart, you can turn your toes slightly out
-Keep your back flat and drop your hips down
-Try to get as low as you can, without knee pain
-Keep your weight in your heels planted into the floor
*You DO NOT have to go as low as I am in the video but it is a great range of motion to work toward!

Back Squat

-Hinge over at the hips, keeping a slight bend in the knees
-Grab the bar with your hands just outside of your knees *I liked a mixed grip, one hand under, one hand over
-Keeping your back flat, lift the bar to full hip extension 
-Control back down

RDL (Romanian Deadlift)

30 on 30 seconds off

The 30 seconds on, you’re moving as fast as you can, it’s a sprint! You should need the full 30 seconds between to recover. 

Repeat for 10 minutes, alternating between the two exercises. 

Example: 
30 sec 3 knees to touchdown squat 
30 rest
30 sec 3 pulse squat jump
30 sec rest
30 sec 3 knees to touchdown squat 
…until 10 minutes is up

-Bring one knee up, hopping on the opposite leg
-Alternate for three knees
Drop down into a squat and touch the floor with one arm
-Alternate each knee you start with and which arm you touch the floor with each time

3 Knees to Touchdown Squat

-Drop your hips down to the bottom of a squat
-Pulse three times (raise and lower your hips 2-3 inches)
-Jump up and land back into a squat

3 Pulses to Squat Jump

Home Cardio Quickie

-Get a yoga mat or pad and put it up the wall and on the floor
