James

30 sec each side.

• Lie on side, knees stacked with a forearm support.

• Press your hips forward and lift off the ground. 

• Lift your top leg and pause.

• Complete a set of lifts then hold. Sweep your top leg forward and back for 5 cycles.

Side Bridge

*30 sec each side*

• From Half Kneel, post your arm on the side of the down knee. 
• Shift your bodyweight supporting yourself on your knee and same side hand.
• Draw your other knee in towards your chest and then kick outward. Fully extend your hip with each kick.

Half Kneeling Side Kicks

• Start in Low Kneeling + good posture.
• Flex your feet and lean back so knees become light on the ground.
• Draw back through the crease of hips to come to Deep Knee Bend
• Rise up to standing, on the way up put heels down as soon as possible.
• Reverse path to softly return to Low Kneel.

Kneeling Get Ups

Work basic lunges in a variety of directions. Focus on maintaining balance and stability as you step into and out of the lunges.

• Start on one leg. Lunge forward, diagonally, laterally, rotationally, and across your body. Switch sides.

• As you become more familiar with the different angles. Add complexity. Alternate from side to side. Randomize the angles.

Multiplane Lunges

Mobility Warm Up

• Lie on your back with your heels set on a top of a chair or bench
• Keep your core braced with lower pressed to the ground. 
• With feet flexed, press heels into the bench and drive hips upward.
• Keep tension in your hamstrings and glutes as you lower down.
• Progression: Single-Leg variation

Supine Hip Bridge

Targets: posterior chain (hamstrings, adductors, glutes, back)
• Set up a wider-than-shoulder-width stance.
• Maintain strong legs with external rotation, long spine, anterior pelvic tilt.
• Hinge forward while keeping your back straight. Feel the deep stretch + strength in the posterior chain.
• Move mindfully & work within your current ROM.

Wide Stance Hip Hinge

SuperSet #1

• Start in a Supine Tuck position with a light rocking action.
• Rock forward using your arms for additional momentum.
• Pull your feet in close to your hips. Shift your weight over your feet to transition into a deep squat. 
• Stand up. Sit down and use this momentum to string together consecutive reps.
• Modify: Use your hands to assist OR bolster your hips.

Rolling Squat Get Up

Alternating sides every rep.

• Single-leg squat variation when your back leg is held behind you. Work to touch your back knee to the ground.

• Work within your active ROM. 

• Reach your arms forward for additional counterbalancing.

• Use a chair or PVC pipe for assistance in deepening the movement

Hover Single Leg Squats

• From standing. Step one leg back and across the midline of your body.
• Lower down into a Cross Squat so the knee of the back leg touches the outside of the opposite calf.
• Pause in the squat. Maintain long spine and shoulders back. 
• Rise up slightly, pivot on the balls of your feet. Rotate 180 or 360 degree.
• Step and repeat.

Crossback Squat + Spin

• Focus on keeping your spine long and shoulders back in your squat position.
• Stay low in your wide stance squat. Shift your weight from side to side. 
• Use your hands in contact with the ground for additional support. Pull your hips down to increase hip mobility.

Squat Lateral Shifting

Squat Series

•Jump upward onto the box / bench. Land softly and squarely on top of the object.

• Jump down to the ground without expending excess effort. Focus on completely absorbing the landing.

• Progress to adding more speed, intensity, and moving in all planes. Think about this like jumping up and down on rocks and logs while on a hike or in a crowded space. Expand this exercise to a more functional movement.

Upward / Downward Jumps

30 seconds each side

• Start with one foot on the bench + strong posture
• Lean forward and explode upwards - to standing or jump.
• Contralateral arm swing.

Explosive Step Ups

SuperSet #2

•Start in a low split squat with shoulders back and chest up.

•Shift your weight forward pressing the front foot into the ground for stability as you step forward.

•Use your hands for additional support

•Don’t move into pain. Modify the depth of the squat as needed.

Squat Walking

• Start in an athletic stance. Lower your COG
• Plant your hands on the ground. Push through locked out arms and extend legs backwards.
• Allow your elbows to bend and lower your chest to the ground.
• In one dynamic action, press up and spring up onto your feet. Rise to standing.

Back Sprawls

Jump to a fixed target. A curb, weight plates, or cork yoga blocks work well.

• Start with a conservative distance. 4-5 heel-toe steps.
• Hip hinge, swing your arms, jump and tuck your legs.
• Keep your eyes on the target, contact with the balls of your feet - stick the landing.

Precision Jumps

ACTIVE RECOVERY

• Cross-legged sitting position.
• Long spine and braced core.
• Shift weight forward, press into the ground with the outer edges of your feet. 
• Rise up to standing and rotate or step out of the cross.
• Toe squat to deep knee bend to kneeling.
• Cross ankles and sit back to Cross Sit

Modifications: 
Use your hands or support from the wall as needed for assistance.

Cross Sit Up + Kneeling Down

Finisher

• Start in Half Kneeling with pelvis tucked, back foot pressing into the ground, and back glute engaged to created the hip flexor stretch.

• Glide forward to lengthen the stretch at the back leg.

• Sit back and all the front leg to extend for the Half Split. Keep your spine long, quad engaged, and toes pointed or pulled back for different stretches.

• Move between these positions for the allotted time.

3 minutes each side.

Half Kneel / Half Split (stretch)

• Start in a Cross-legged Sit position or hook  top leg across the opposite knee for the Crossover stretch.

• Both positions are valuable hip openers. Spend time with the different variations.

• Lean forward in Cross Sit and work both sides.

• For Crossover Sit, hug your knee in towards your chest and elongate your spine. Feel the stretch in your glutes.

• Crossover Sit: Keep your front foot flexed and actively draw hip into socket for stability and to protect your knee.

*1 minute per side*

Cross Sit / Cross Over Sit (stretch)

• Long Sit position with shoulders back and long spine. Bolster hips with a towel or yoga block if necessary.

• Actively reach your legs away from your body.

• Lean forward from the hips to intensify the stretch. Reach at different angles to change the stretch.

• Don't move into pain or forces the ROM. Be patient and remember to breathe.

Started in my usual way, but then added music to the workout and that transformed the moves into more expressive movement patterns and explored some different shapes within the sets.. super enjoyable!

BS [PHASE 2] Week 2 / Day 3: Upper Body

Enjoyed that, I've got spaghetti for legs now 🤣

Great cardio from the plyo and the supersets and squat series were sneaky-challenging and fun.

Great workout. Sadly the offline download works only for half the exercises, and the next exercise tap is almost impossible to find...
