Need:
Dumbbells(potentially lighter and heavier if possible)
Yoga mat

We move the whole body here but that upper body is gonna feel it most😬

Move with intention!

Can take a small extra rest when switching circuits if needed (Stay less than 1 min).

There are some core specific movements within 3 of these exercises, be sure that you’ve got great connection and engagement there! Core function section is here for that if you’re unsure.

Let’s get it done!🎉

10 seconds rest is truly just a transition to the next exercise. Really no need to time it. Just head to the next exercise.

-Move with control
-Only as quickly as you can keep good form
-Be sure to keep ribs from flaring at top of press with core connection
-Raise hands/weights up on a step or low stool to modify
-Core works with breath throughout movement. Exhale, connect, move on ‘hard’ part of exercise (see core breathing)

Weighted burpee

-Step back and across body only as you can keep good alignment, front foot should remain planted
-Keep range of motion to where you can maintain good form
-Press up through front leg
-Controlled movement
-Hold weights at 90 degrees next to body
-Core works with breath throughout movement (see core breathing tutorial)

90 degree hold + curtsy

-connect to the deep core before lifting (see core hold tutorial in core function playlist)
-Core should be stabilizing as you move arms 
-Glute squeezes to hold hips up in bridge
-Core works with breath through the movement. Exhale as you deepen/ check in with connection & move
-Keep the upper arm as still as possible throughout
-Movement comes from the elbow joint
-Elbows go to 90 degrees
-Slow lowering of weights- please watch your head!
-Palms face each other

Skull crusher + bridge hold

-Deep core works with your breath throughout the movement! (see core breathing tutorial/core hold). Exhale, connect, move. Can also maintain a light connection throughout.
-Keep hips ribs and head stacked in good alignment and a light length through body
-Core should help prevent low back from over arching
-Core should help resist the urge to let ribs flare, core connection helps keep them down
-Core lifts butt off the ground to tap feet to weight and controls the lowering 
-Move slowly and with control

Pullover pop

Circuit 1

-Deep core engages before leaning back (see core hold tutorial in core function section) 
-Core stays connected through the movement to stabilize and support as you press
-Modify by leaning slightly against something for some added support
-Keep control during the fly
-Core still works with breath through the movement while connected. Exhale and ‘deepen/reaffirm the connection with exertion

Boat fly

-Core is engaged throughout the exercise to support plank position (core hold tutorial)
-core stabilizes against wobbly torso as you move
-Keep legs wide for more stability
-Bend knees to lifted quadruped position to modify 
-slight anterior (towards face) pelvic tilt
-length through torso, chin tucked
-shoulders about over wrists
-Move slowly and with intention 
-don’t allow the band to pull leg back quickly

Plank weight shift

-Feet are wider than hips, adjust slightly to what’s most comfortable for you
-Knees and toes point the same direction
-Hips, ribs and head stacked throughout movement to keep from over arching low back or ribs flaring
-Use glutes and inner thighs to press to standing
-Controlled lower after curl
-Don’t let weights pull you forward during squat
-Core works with breath through movement (see core breathing tutorial)

Sumo curls

-Keep hips square when stepping back for lunge
-Keep hips, ribs and head in a stacked line throughout movement
-Front glute drives you up to standing
-Raise and lower weight with control
-Core works with breath through movement (see core breathing tutorial)
-Alternate sides

Step back lunge + front raise
