Kelly

Enjoyed the slightly shorter day today, but that triple set at the end got me good!

3 second eccentric (lower into it 3 seconds down, no pause, 1 second up).

GOAL
Adductors & glutes 
 1. Hold a dumbbell at chest height, 1-2' away from your body.
2. Stand tall, walk feet out to wide position with toes flared out.
3. Retract shoulders blades and contract your abdominals.
4. To down, bend your knees and let your hips follow, maintaining even pressure throughout your foot.
5. Maintain a tall posture the entire time.
6. To stand, think about pressing the floor away.

CUES
- Flat Back 
- Proud Chest 
- Reach Hips Back
- Brace Abs

Wide Stance Goblet Squat

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

Muscle Maker

GOAL
Sculpt those hamstrings without lower back pressure, aka isolation exercise #HamTings

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

CUES
- Slow Negative
- Stay Focused 
- Relax the Toes
- Tempo is Life

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

Lying Leg Curls

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

Sculpting Tings 🔥

GOAL
Build ab strength relative to your body weight 

1. Lie down flat on your back and contract the abs, pulling the belly button towards the floor. The arms and legs should be held straight out from the body with hands and toes pointed.
2. Slowly raise shoulders and legs from the ground. The arms and head should be raised along with the shoulders. The lower back must remain in contact with the floor.
3. The goal is to find the lowest position that you can hold the arms and legs, without them touching the floor and without breaking lower back contact (the point at which the lower back begins to arch from the ground).

CUES
- Point Toes
- Hollow Rock 
- Crunch Belly Button into Spine

Hollow Rock Hold

GOAL
Ab coordination + control #MermaidThings

DETAILS 
1. Lay on back. 
2. Opposite arm and leg come together. 
3. Begin by crunching ribs to hips. 
4. Round lower back. 
5. Reach up and together. 
6. Don’t strain from neck. 
7. Touch shin and lower slowly. 
8. Repeat other side. 
9. Reps are total. 

CUES
- Hollow Rock 
- Crunch Belly Button into Spine
- Slow + Controlled

Starfish Crunch

Core Work

3 second eccentric (lower into it 3 seconds down, no pause, 1 second up) except ski erg.

GOAL
Isolate that elbow for bicep life 

DETAILS
1. Begin the rep with a supine and fully stretched arm. 
2. Contract your bicep to raise the weight to your elbow. Curl slowly and focus on the squeeze. Relax the shoulder and just squeeze blood into your bicep.

CUES
- Squeeze Bicep
- Exhale on the Pull

Preacher Curl Machine

GOAL
Squeeze those triceps until they look like horseshoes 

DETAILS
1. Lean over your knees.
2. Retract and depress your shoulder blades. 
3. Squeeze from your triceps to extend. 
4. Get an extra squeeze by thinking of extending the pinky towards the wrist. 
5. Come back to a right Triangle aka 90 degree bend. 

CUES
- Right Triangle 
- Proud Chest

Dumbbell Tricep Kickback

GOAL
Death. Jk…power, fat burning cardio + you may or may not see the light #Ouch

DETAILS
1. Grab the handles of the ski erg and set resistance dial between 7-10. 
2. Start your stokes by using your hips and legs to drive the power. 
3. First position squat position, get on toes, tall reach.  
4. Second, drive down into a squat with a follow from your arms. 
5. Focus on using the hips. 
6. Drive up, throw your hips back and down and follow with arms.

Super hyped to have found you and your programs. I’ve been wanting to start a guided program outside of CrossFit classes, but had yet to come across something geared towards non-binary AFAB friends. Loving the focus on mindfulness and authenticity. Excited to start with health is wealth and move into the Fighter program!

Taylor

I love this. I didn't actually register for the challenge but I am going to do the workouts! Last year was very mentally draining and I am finally getting back on track and you sharing this really makes it that much better knowing some of us are not alone. Thanks for being an awesome coach and sharing your knowledge with us!
