Description: PH [PHASE 1] Week 1 / Session 3

Tough today. A bit stiff sore, but forced me to slow down and commit. Good stuff.

Erik

Got my blood flowing with a nice variety of movements.

I would like a countdown on each timer to allow set up if possible.  Great workout.

Amazing workout to get a good sweat & recovery from a 12 hour work day

Noris

• Active Side Bent Sit position - long spine, front leg gripping the ground
• Sweep back leg forward. 
• Rock back to your hips, switch leg position

• Build momentum and speed. Add forward folds for stretch.

Side Sit Hip Switches

• Start in a Foot Hand Crawl. Sit hips back to heels
• Shift weight forward and step one foot next to your hands
• Pause and hold the stretch. Maintain a long spine an sink into the front hips
• Step back & switch sides.

*10 alternating reps*

Crawl Lunges

• Set up a long stance with upright posture. Braced core. Stay in the ball of the back foot.
• Shift weight forward lowering into the front hip, allowing the back hip to fully extend.
• You may need to adjust the stance slightly. Keep your balance with a relatively even weight distribution front to back.
• Feel the compression of the front hip, stretch in the back hip.
• Press back up to middle. Perform all reps & switch sides.

•Free leg passes underneath the body
•Plant foot & hand (Inverted Crawl position)
•Reverse to return to Foot Hand Crawl

Crawl Pass Unders

• Start in a tight supine tuck position. Knees together, head & shoulders lifted off the ground.

• Create a small rocking action while maintaining the tuck.

• As you rock back to your shoulders, swivel your hips to the side to begin rotation. Find the timing to rotate 360 degrees.

• Alternatively, try bigger rocking actions. Rock back at an angle and allow your momentum to drive the rotation.

*Switch direction after each revolution.*

Rotational Rocking

Mobility Warm Up

• Start in a high plank - arms locked out, shoulders protracted & depressed. Strong glutes & legs

• Maintain a long neck as you lower down. Pull yourself to the ground, drawing your shoulder blades together.

• Key point: Press all the way back up into full shoulder protraction.

• Key point: Elbows should be at a 45 degree angle from your body for optimal shoulder stability. Avoid keeping elbows too tight with internally rotated shoulders.

Push Ups

Compound movement. Break it down & gradually build it up with speed and smoothness.

• Start standing. Lower down, plant hands and sprawl back to a crawl position.
• Shift your weight laterally and roll across your hips.
• Return to crawl position. Pop up to standing.

Sprawl to Hip Roll

• Start in FH Crawl position with long spine & locked out arms.
• Pick up your opposite hand & foot. Push extra hard through your support hand & foot for stability
• Rotate your body towards the lifted arm. 
• Extend your lifted leg perpendicular from your body. Keep support arm locked out.
• Draw the free leg back underneath your body as you rotate back to the FH crawl position.

*20 alternating reps.*

Crawl Kick Thrus

• 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

Interval Series A

• Start in Inverted position with locked out arms and a long spine. Shoulders externally rotated.

• Opposite hand & foot step together. Extend your leg, plant & pull from the heel.

• Sync your breathing with the movement. Smoothly link together your strides

*20 steps*

Inverted Crawl

• Start in a supine tuck position with arms at your sides pressing into the ground for stability.

• Squeeze your core and pull your thighs towards your chest

• Pulse your hips upwards to the ceiling. Brace your core to control the return to the ground.

• Blend in Rotational Rocking for an extra challenge.

Supine Hip Presses

Combination movement. Flow from the Figure Four Rock Up into the Low Sprawl

• Rock Up with figure four legs to half kneeling
• Plant your hands and shift weight forward
• Press through locked out arms to sprawl legs back
• Allow arms to bend and lower chest to the ground.
• Press up & jump in, stay low. Rock back and repeat.

Rock Up to Sprawl

• 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.

*10 reps each side*

Half Kneeling Side Kicks

Interval Series B

• From Prone Lying, plant your hands outside your chest and draw your shoulders back.

• Use the strength of your back to lift upwards, pressing your arms to lock out to assist the range of motion.

• Keep your shoulders drawn back and chest open. Use active strength through the movement - don't force your body through the range of motion.

Prone Spinal Extension

•Sit tall with legs fully extended and actively open. Bolster your hips if necessary.

•Engage your legs and core. Lean from the hips. Reach your legs away and press down into the floor as you reach forward.

•Use a combination of gentle bouncing and static holds to build mobility.

Straddle Stretch

• Set up a strong half kneeling position with back toes tucked pressing into the ground + pelvis level.
• Use active strength to create the stretch in the back leg.
• Keep the tension and add movement - glide forward and back
• If possible, lift the back leg, active strength or hold with your hands

*2 minutes each side.*

Half Kneeling (stretch)

• Start in a Foot Hand Crawl position
• Lift one leg and reach across your body. Hip is fully extended
• Allow the reach of your leg to pull you through the roll over
• Touch the ground for a moment then reach your free arm back across your body to reverse

Still a bit sore from ep. 10 two days ago, but I am glad I did ep.11 today! Core series was surprisingly challenging for how simple the movements are, and the finisher was brutal. Love it!

Episode 11 // Primal HIIT

Please develop another HIIT workout series.  These were awesome.

Thank you so Much Kellen this was amazing!  Season better be Advanced Level or Ninja 😂

Awesome series! Thanks, Kellen 👍👍👍

Second run-through of the Primal HIIT series is in the books! Still challenging in terms of fatigue (and push up skills), but there are very clear improvements in my strength and control! 

Thanks for facilitating this journey!!!
