First time using the app in the gym! Love it

We threw in a run to end today. Aim for 10-15 minutes and take breaks as needed. For example, run 3 minutes, rest 45 seconds and hop back 💪🏼

It’s nice to get out of your head and into some sweat 🥵

GOAL
Cardio with retraction and leg drive. Welp, meet the Erg. 

DETAILS
1. Adjust the footpads to your foot size and adjust the damper depending on distance/desired resistance. The higher the number, the higher the resistance, thus the more meters rowed in a stroke.
2. Starting position, aka the catch has arms straight, upper body is leaning forward with shoulders in front of hips, shins are vertical and heels are raised as needed.
3. The drive - start by pressing with your legs. Once your shoulder pass your hips, arm row can finally be added.
4. The finish - Once knees are extended, upper body is leaning back slightly, and then you pull with your arms. 
5. Shoulders remain low and relaxed.
6. Extend your arms fully BEFORE leaning forward at the hips and breaking at the knees.
Pro-Tip: Timing is everything. Don't pull with the arms early on the drive. 

CUES
- Drive with Legs
- Back Neutral
- Extend Legs
- Pull to Belly Button
- Release Arms

DETAILS
1. Arch that back, get a proud chest, pin those shoulder blades back and down towards your hips aka don't shrug up.

5. Exhale and resist the negative. Repeat.

Cobra Cable Crossover

GOAL
Wider back for a tighter waist and strong look

DETAILS 
1. You will start by grabbing the wide bar from the top pulley of a pulldown machine and using a wider than shoulder-width pronated (palms down) grip. Step backwards two feet or so.
2. Bend your torso forward at the waist by around 30-degrees with your arms fully extended in front of you and a slight bend at the elbows. If your arms are not fully extended then you need to step a bit more backwards until they are. Once your arms are fully extended and your torso is slightly bent at the waist, tighten the lats and then you are ready to begin.
3. While keeping the arms straight, pull the bar down by contracting the lats until your hands are next to the side of the thighs. Breathe out as you perform this step.
4. While keeping the arms straight, go back to the starting position while breathing in.

CUES
- Proud Chest
- Squeeze Armpits

Rope Straight Arm Pushdown

Superset Station

GOAL

3. Full stretch and begin by pulling the elbow towards your hip.
4. Think about depressing your shoulder blades not just pulling.
5. Pull elbow towards belly button. 
6. Release slowly. 
7. Repeat with either a proud chest or slightly bent forward. 

CUES
- Squeeze Armpit
- Right Triangle

Kneeling Cable Row

GOAL
Athletic advantage, injury prevention and oblique shredder

DETAILS

3. Start with shoulders, hips, and feet square/straight forward. 
4. Rotate the torso away from the anchor point, keeping the hips square. 
5. Then, chop that wood by rotating torso towards your hip and slightly towards the ground.
6. Squeeze abs & exhale. Return slowly to start position. Repeat. 

Pro-Tips: Ribs are tucked and you compress/crunch your abs a little. Back foot pivots as you chop. Hips can rotate or stay stationary, whichever gives you a better ab squeeze. 

CUES
- Squeeze Butt
- Rotate Torso
- Tuck Ribs
- Crunch Ribs to Hip Slightly
