Still crushing it, added an incline walk to the end for fun.

Ruby

Kallie

GOAL
Loading the hips and legs while maintaining and more upright chest for less back strain and more glute focus

1. Get like a sumo wrestler, aka legs wide
and toes pointing out. Leg width is
dependent on what feels
strongest/your leg length.
2. Push your knees outside of the bar,
ground yourself in your heel, rigid back,
and grab the bar.
3. Chest is as upright as possible, which is
pretty much the point of this exercise.
You're able to keep your chest up, push
the weight back into your hips, glutes,
and hamstrings and SQUEEZE.
Using the leverage on the bar, rock your
hips back and start pulling 10%. You'll
feel pressure in your lower glutes and
get rid of the slack from you to the bar.
4. Once you feel the tight position with
your abs braced THEN AND ONLY
THEN can you lift the weight.
5. Squeeze your glutes, push your knees out,
and drive your legs into the ground.
6. Don't overarch at the top. Just stand
until your shoulders are just behind the
bar. #RibsTucked

CUES
- Spread the Earth with Your Feet
- Squeeze Glutes
- Retract Spine
- Brace Abs

Sumo Deadlift

GOAL
Lower back, ab and hamstring dominator 

1. Grasp a bar on the floor using an overhand grip. Stand with your torso straight and a shoulder-width stance. The knees should be slightly bent. This is your starting position.
2. Keeping the knees stationary, lower the barbell to over the top of your feet by bending at the waist while keeping your back arched.
3. Continue to the bottom of your hip flexibility without ever compensating through your lumbar in an effort to extend the range of motion. Pause at the bottom and return to the starting position.
4. Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.

CUES
- Flat Back 
- Reach Hips Back
- Brace Abs

Dumbbell Cannonball Goblet Squat

Get on those lil tippy toes for premium ankle flexion + also bodyweight to mind muscle connect to your calf muscles 

DETAILS

GOAL
One legged - say bye-bye-bye to those imbalances. Add in quarter reps, pulses, and holds for the ultimate life-altering experience.

DETAILS
1. Tuck your pelvis into the hip pad. 
2. Point your toes like a ballerina. The weight will just feel heavier, you're welcome. If you flex your toes, you tryna lift with your calves...don't do that. 
3. Get in a full length leg stretch then curl the weight by squeezeing from your hamstrings with a controlled negative.
4. Exhale on the curl, inhale on the negative.
5. Do to failure and then flex the toe for more reps.

Single Leg Hamstring Curl

GOAL
Lower back health which is key to life, lifting, good sex, and getting old #ExtensionsForLifeExtension

DETAILS
1. Hinge at the hip and give everyone that million dollar view they don't deserve. 
2. Hang all the way down and initiate the movement by squeezing your glutes.
3. Squeeze your butt and hamstring and raise to be in line with your legs.
4. Hold for a second at the top and slowly lower all the way down. Repeat. 

Pro-Tip: If you walk into the gym and your back hurts, hang off the end of this and wiggle that spine #SideToSide. Hang at the bottom and warm up by just extending a few inches up then coming back down to a relaxed position. Do a set of 30 and feel those lower lumbar say "hayyyy gurrrrl." 

CUES
- Squeeze Yo Ass
- Hinge At the Hip
- Tuck Your Ribs
