Description: Upper Body Day 🦾

GOAL
Target your upper chest and upper back for ultimate confident posture and proud chest 
 DETAILS 
1. With your hands wide apart, support your body on your toes and hands in a plank position. Your elbows should be extended and your body straight. Do not allow your hips to sag. This will be your starting position.
2. To begin, allow the elbows to flex, lowering your chest to the floor as you inhale.
3. Using your pectoral muscles, press your upper body back up to the starting position by extending the elbows. Exhale as you perform this step.
4. After pausing at the contracted position, repeat the movement for the prescribed amount of repetitions.

CUES
- Proud Chest 
- Externally Rotate Shoulders 
- Squeeze Between Shoulder Blades

Wide Push Up

GOAL
Retract the back side of your body for better posture and muscles

DETAILS
1. Lay on stomach with palms facing down. 
2. Begin by squeezing from your glutes and raising arms up. 
3. Lift arms and legs as high as you can, initiating from spine and glutes. 
4. Lower hand height if you’re shrugging up. 

CUES
- Squeeze from Glutes
- Exhale on Up

Supermans

GOAL
Get Egyptian strength glistening through your triceps, abs and shoulders #BadJoke
 DETAILS
1. Get in a plank position, but on your elbows. Place elbows directly under shoulders. 
2. Squeeze your ass and crunch your abs into your spine. 
3. Begin by pressing up to hands. Can lift the hips first to initiate movement.
4. Lower slowly.
5. Note - to make this easier, position elbows in front of shoulders. 

CUES
- Squeeze Butt
- Crunch Abs into Spine
- Lower Slow

Sphinx Push Up

Load the triceps and work shoulder blade protraction with minimal equipment 

1. With a bench or couch behind you, have hands at shoulder width, with finger tips away from your body.
2. The legs will be extended forward on top of the other bench. 
3. Slowly lower your body into the right triangle with shoulder blades retracted. 
4. Using your triceps to bring your torso up again. 
5. Create space between your shoulders and ears at the top of the movement. 
6. Repeat. 

CUES
- Right Triangle 
- Squeeze Triceps
- Proud Chest

Bench Dips

GOAL
Escalate that push up to boulder those shoulders. Swap for incline push ups if needed.

DETAILS
1. Downward dog position.
2. Hips up, palms down, walk the hands in slightly.
3. Begin by diving the head forward to create a tripod position with your hands and head.
4. As you descend, push the elbows back towards your hips.
5. Do not let the elbows flare out - if they do, this exercise is too difficult. Work on lat strength and shoulder presses.  CUES
- Tuck Chin
- Descend Forward
- Elbows Go Back
- Hips Up High 
- On Toes

Tripod Push Ups

GOAL
This is the flour to the cupcake, the butter to the donut, the sole to your Nikes, the string to your Yo-Yo, the milk to your cereal. Best introduction to rowing/learning to squeeze the shit out of your back.

DETAILS **(Use a table or desk)**
1. Start with on a Smith Machine or TRX cables set at around chest height, lower if you're a lil badass. 
2. Walk your feet in front of the bar while holding onto the bar. Woooo feels like your going to fall back on your ass but since your upper body is rock solid, you gucci. 
3. Initiate by squeezing back with the shoulder blades.
4. Pull just below your sports bra, and keep the right triangle in your elbow. If any of that dish is off, you probably have to lower that bar or walk your feet in. 

CUES

- Squeeze Back With Shoulder Blades
- Chest up
- Flat Back
- Tuck the Ribs
- Don't Sag
- Plank Position

Overhand Inverted Rows (Table or desk)

15 to Failure

GOAL
One of my favorite lower ab exercises - use that mind muscle connection to tuck your pelvis and contract the lower abs

1. Lie down on the floor with your legs fully extended and arms to the side of your torso with the palms on the floor. Your arms should be stationary for the entire exercise.
2. Move your legs up so that your thighs are perpendicular to the floor and feet are together and parallel to the floor. This is the starting position.
3. While inhaling, move your legs towards the torso as you roll your pelvis backwards and you raise your hips off the floor. 
4. Hold the contraction for a second and move your legs back to the starting position while exhaling.

CUES
- Crunch Abs into Belly Button 
- Knees Up to Ceiling

Reverse Crunch

I definitely felt the burn on this. With it being no equipment I thought it would be easy but it definitely wasn’t. This was a good pain and I loved every bit of it!

I couldn’t even do one close grip push up-suggestions or how to modify would be helpful for those of us just starting out. I ended up kneeling
