-Blocks or Chairs (L Sits)

• Hold a thin resistance in front of you. Draw your shoulders and and brace your core. 

• Pull the band apart. Focus on scapular retraction - bringing your shoulder blades together.

• Control the recoil, keeping your shoulders stable.

Band Pull Aparts

• Strong stance. Pelvis level, bottom ribs dropped.
• Take your arms through a full range of motion at the shoulder.
• Coordinate your breathing with the movement as the heat builds.
•  If you experience any clicking or grinding, modify the ROM or work one arm at a time.

Arm Circles

•Foot Hand Crawl Position
•Opposite foot & hand 2-point support
•Rotate away from the support arm
•Free leg passes underneath the body

Crawl Pass Unders

• Shoulders drawn down into socket - scapular depression, lats engaged.
• Core knit together. Pelvis tucked forward + bottom ribs dropped.
• Wrap thumbs around the bar when hanging from a thin bar.
• Action: SCAPULAR MOVEMENT.  Keep elbows straight as you alternate between active and passive hanging positions.

Modification: Assisted Hang - keep feet in light contact with the ground

Active Hang

Mobility Warm Up

• Sit tall. Bend your knees or bolster your hips, if necessary. Loop the band around your feet.

• Keep a strong grip. Keep your shoulder blades drawn down & core braced. 

• Drive your elbows back with each row. Pause 1-3 seconds and control the recoil.

Seated Resistance Band Rows

•Perform a Foot Hand Crawl for 10-20 steps. 

•Then perform 10-20 push ups.

•Return to crawl and repeat for allotted time.

•Crawl in all directions and add variation to push ups as desired.

Foot Hand Crawl + Push Ups

SuperSet #1

• Position yourself underneath a horizontal bar.
• Shoulder-width grip. Can be pronated or supinated.
• Keep shoulders drawn down, set & stable. Pull chest to touch the bar.
• Lower down to fully extended arms. Maintain core stability & body alignment through the movement.

Inverted Rows

• Attach a resistance band to a pole or door.
• Set up a strong stance - standing or tall / half kneeling. Perform bilateral or unilateral press.
• Press arm(s) to lock out. Control the recoil. 
• Optional: Integrate stepping patterns with the press.

Resistance Band Chest Press

SuperSet #2

• Inverted Crawl position. Arms locked out. Shoulders externally rotated.
• Reach one arm upwards and back overhead.
• Press your hips upwards. Stack weight over your support arm.
• Hold each rep 3-5 seconds

*6 alternating reps. 3 reps each side.*

Inverted Bridge Reaches

• Use 2 chairs or a set of yoga blocks for extra ground clearance. 
• Press your arms to full lock out with shoulders depressed / neck long.
• Hold your fully extended legs straight out in front of you.
• Modification: Keep feet on the ground OR hold a tuck or straddle position.

L Sits

SuperSet #3

Perform this movement with feet on the ground. Progress to feet elevated.

• Start in a High Hip Crawl position.
• Push forward from your toes to load the weight into your shoulders. Vertical alignment.
• Maintain stable shoulders while allowing your elbows to bend.
• Keep your elbows hugging inwards
• Lower crown of your head out past your hands.
• Push up and back to vertical alignment.

Pike Push Ups

• From a prone lying position, hold arms fully extended or at 90 degree angles.

• Use the strength of your back line to into an arch body position. Pause and lower.

• Optional: incorporate extending arms and pulling elbows down to sides

Arch Ups

• Sit on the ground with legs fully extended.
• Place you hands next to your knees - the further forward the harder this movement will be.
• Keep a longish spine + strong legs, lift and lower your legs

Pike Leg Lifts

This basic drill will be very helpful on your handstand journey. The Back-to-Wall HS will allow you to accumulate more time on your hands to build strength & awareness.

•Plant your hands and kick up with a split entry.

•The key is timing - shift your weight forward to stack your shoulders over wrists + lift the back leg (gently push off the ground with the bent leg)

•Hold the handstand against the wall for support while your adjust your shape - hollow body. Open your shoulders, scoop your pelvis, and drop your ribcage.

•Build strength by press your upper back to the wall and pressing back.

•It’s highly recommended that you film some of your practice so you can see your alignment from a 3rd person perspective.

*Hold for the prescribed time and exit with control.

Great workout! Had to do some modifications. 4 min stretches seemed too long though.

Great work out. However, round 3 I think, are we supposed to do 2 sets of bridges?

Plyo at the beginning was brutal! Had to take it a little slow.

BS [PHASE 2] Week 1 / Day 2: Lower Body

Great, first crow balance achieved 👍👍👍

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!

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...
