Alex

Brandy

Whew! Love the run at the end. I especially after getting the abs warmed up. Really helped me with my form.

Shannon

I was a little caught off guard when I opened the home workout to see I still needed some equipment. Although it’s very limited to dumbbells,bench and stretch bands. It would’ve helped to know those were necessary to have prior to beginning the journey or atleast giving a list of alternatives or substitutes. I thankfully made it work but it wrecked my anxiety 
for the first set.

Ally

This isn't really on you but I wasn't aware dumbbells are needed for this version and for now unfortunately we can't invest in any, but I'm doing just fine improvising.

Lien

Stoked to be starting this with everyone 🤙🏻Love your work coach! Awesome workout 👊🏻🔥

Taking a different approach to this challenge. We have upper, lower, upper + full body! 

It’ll be good overall volume. If you want more abs and arms, work, grab an ab and arm workout from the app. 

Let’s get it, take your time squeeze your muscle and zone in on the jog 💪🏼 aim for speed 6.0

GOAL
Wider back for a tighter waist and strong look

DETAILS 
1. You will start by grabbing band 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

Resistance Band Straight Arm Pushdown

GOAL
Get the volume of push ups without strict form while taxing the abs and shoulders

1. Lay stomach down on the floor. 
2. Position hands in push up position.
3. Retract shoulder blades and externally rotate.
4. Press up into a plank position by pressing the upper body up first, then following with the lower body.
5. Finish in a perfect plank position by squeezing your butt, feet together and crunching the abs.
6. Slowly lower to the starting position. 
7. Repeat as needed. It’s a bit of a ‘worm’ movement.
 CUES
- Proud Chest
- Right Triangle 
- Exhale on the Press

Worm Push Ups

* Can use dumbbell instead of kettlebell.

GOAL
Build invaluable power, conditioning and hip strength 

1. Hip-width stance, begin with kettlebell in hands. 
2. Begin by pushing the hips back and start the upward swing by aggressively squeezeing your butt.
3. Stabilize the line of swing and aim for shoulder height.
4. Keep the arms slightly relaxed and let bell swing down, keeping the weight as close to your groin as possible.
5. Hinge the chest forward and repeat movement. 
6. Hips descend back and down, but above the knees

CUES
- Flat Back
- Brace Abs 
- Proud Chest

Kettlebell Swing

Shoulder Stability

GOAL
Wider back for that strong look

DETAILS
1. Resistance band set on a high anchor. 
2. Take a knee. 
3. Lower chest but retract shoulder blades as you pull. 
4. Retract and depress shoulder blades. 
5. Squeeze from elbows. 

P. S. Ignore the lower back fat. We all got it lol. 

CUES 
- Proud Chest 
- Right Triangle

Resistance Band Overhead Pulldown

GOAL
Shoulder stability + builder 

DETAILS 
1. Sit, shoulders back, proud chest. 
2. Elbows slightly in front of body, squeeze shoulder blades.
3. Press up. 
4. SLOW the way down. Control and make a 90 degree angle. 
5. Press again. 

Pro-tip: keep forearms vertical. 

CUES
- Proud Chest
- Look Up
- Slow + Controlled

Dumbbell Shoulder Press

12 Min AMRAP

GOAL
You're only as good as your weakest arm. Unilateral pressing to develop strong pecs, shoulders, and triceps 

DETAILS
1. Start sitting upright on a bench. Dumbbell on each knee with a 90 degree elbow.
2. Use your knee to hike the weights up to your chest height as you lay back on the bench. 
3. Immediately press out of the first rep, that may be the trickiest part.
4. Elbows are 45 degrees angle your body and you got that right triangle in yo elbow. 
5. Control the weight as it descends. Lower elbows to parallel or just below for happy shoulders and strength building.
6. As you're pressing up, squeeze the chest.  
7. Wrist is directly over elbow. And wrist is neutral. 

CUES
- Heels Grounded
- Elbows Just to Parallel
- Shoulder Blades Back and Down
- Wrists Neutral

Dumbbell Bench Press

GOAL
Build up your pressing strength through proper positioning and high volume

DETAILS
1. Set hands right outside of shoulders on the dumbbell rack, couch or bench. 
2. Get in a tight plank position. No sagging your stomach or arching your lower back excessively.
2. Feet together, butt squeezed, ribs tucked and as you descend down into the push up squeeze your shoulder blades back. 
3. At the top of the rep, push away with your shoulder blades to get more movement in your serratus/scapula. 

Pro-Tip: #1 mistake is your elbow position. If your elbows track out, that's a no no. If you lose the Right Triangle in your elbow that's a no no. 

If that happens, it's because you're pressing "too high." Step closer to the bar or bench and touch the bar to below your sports bra with the elbows close to your rib cage. 

CUES
- Plank Position
- Squeeze the Shoulder Blades Back
- Right Triangle
- Bar/Bench Below Nips

Incline Push Ups

GOAL
The holy grail of rowing. It focuses on scapula retraction and spinal extension #BangForYourBuck

DETAILS

1. With the opposing knee and hand resting on a bench, let the dumbbell fall directly below that boulder shoulder of yours. 
2. Stiffen/extend your spine. Rounding of the spine inhibits proper shoulder blade retraction/depression.
3. Square up your shoulders.
4. Initiate the first inch of the movement by squeezing/depressing your armpit. Think of "crunching" your armpit to your hip. 
4. Pull elbow to hip, think like you're starting a lawnmower like the little badass you are.
4.When pulling, keep the right triangle bend in your elbow. 

Pro-Tip: Dumbbell moves in an arc or "C" shape from below shoulder to front of hip.

CUES
- Initiate with Scapula 
- Chest is Squared Up
- Flat Back

Dumbbell Lat Row

Superset

GOAL
Burn em brah. This is the optimal exercise for building rounder shoulders to trick people into thinking you have a tinier waist #TrickorTreat

DETAILS
1. Grip can vary. Neutral grip for basic life or internally rotate with the dumbbell slightly in front of your hip to target that rotator cuff (lighter weight).
2. Start at the hip and raise up to the shoulders. The dumbbells should be a few inches in front of your body to move in your scapular plane.
3. Elbows are slightly bent and you're initiating the movement with your shoulders.

Pro-Tip: We're going for blood flow on this. No need to get real heavy, just go lighter and check that ego. 

CUES
- Retract Shoulder Blades
- Elevated Sternum 
- Reach Away 
- Tuck Your Ribs

Dumbbell Lateral Raises

GOAL
Athletic advantage, injury prevention and oblique shredder

DETAILS
1. Set up a resistance band above shoulder height. 
2. Grab the end with both arms extended. 
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
- Straight Arms Whole Time

Banded Wood Chop

Non-stop. Ultimate blood flow to abs for that 6-pack abs.

2. Begin my crunching your abs into your spine with your wrists dragging up your quads.
3. Crunch up to raise your wrists up to the knees.
4. Move slow and work from the abs not momentum.

DETAILS

2. Keeping your arms straight by your sides, or under your hips, slowly lower your legs to the floor until your lower back begins to arch.

3. Crunch your abs into your spine and slightly elevate the shoulders off the ground.
4. Straighten out your arms and begin by touching your ankle with one arm. 
5. Move slow and intentionally aim to contract the obliques.

As someone who works a FT job I’m struggling to find the time to finish these 60 minute workouts and complete each activity, especially because the 60 minutes doesn’t include a solid warm up that gets you ready for the work out. I’ve been having to pick and choose which things to cut out each day  and don’t know if I’m getting the full benefits :(

As always, very grateful this program exists. Thank you, MoMo!
