Description: WEEK 9- Thursday

Start with your feet shoulder-width apart, toes pointed straight forward. Step out with your right foot as wide as possible. Engage through the right heel as you drop your hips down and back while keeping the left leg straight, stretching the groin on the left leg and keeping both soles of the feet on the ground and toes pointed straight forward. Make sure your right knee is tracking over your right foot the whole motion. Powerfully “punch” your right heel into the floor to push yourself back to the full standing start position.

Lateral Lunge

Select the appropriate dumbbells and place them on the floor in front of you.
Bending at the knees and keeping your back straight, squat down and pick up the dumbbells with an underhand grip (palms facing up).
Get into the starting position by keeping your back straight and bending at the knees. Let the dumbbells slide down your thighs until they're just below knee height.
Execute by pulling the dumbbells up under your chest as far as possible.
Pause, and then slowly lower the dumbbells back to the starting position.
Repeat

Incline shoulder taps

Keep your hands shoulder-width apart and your knees directly below your hips. Inhale deeply while curving your lower back and bringing your head up, tilting your pelvis up like a "cow." Exhale deeply and bring your abdomen in, arching your spine and bringing your head and pelvis down like a "cat."
