Mat

In each of these exercises, only move as quickly as you can keep good form, control and a soft landing in the movement.

Enjoy the sweat!😁

Take up ~15 seconds between exercises. You can use the rest interval given here.

-Stay low as you hop over
-Only go as quickly as you can keep good form
-Hinge at the hips slightly to keep good alignment and hips, ribs and head stacked
-Sit weight back during shuffle 
-Land lightly from jump squat at each end
-Core works with breath

Shuffle + jump squat

-Hips, ribs and head are stacked with a light length through the body in plank and bottom of squat
-Avoid hips sagging towards the ground or popping up to the sky while in plank
-Wrists under shoulders
-In plank, very slight anterior pelvic tilt (tucked). Imagine ribs and hips are lightly connected by a string
-Move feet as quickly as you feel comfortable keeping good form
-Core is engaged and working in plank
-Land lightly

Hop in + plank jack

-Soft stance, no locked out legs here.
-Knees come up wide as you rotate towards the leg coming up
-Move quickly as you can keep control
-Keep length through the torso, not bending forward to meet the knee

Tires

-Drop down into a squat then shift weight and kick out to one side
-Core helps to stabilize and keep balance
-modify kick by tapping out to side 
-Kick should be a controlled movement
-Move as quickly as balance and form allow
-Leg of front (planted) glute should be active to hold your weight as you move
-Core works with breath through the movement

Squat side kick

-Core is engaged throughout the exercise for stability and to help control the movement 
-Only Move as quickly as you can maintain balance and control 
-Very quick pause as you reach opposite hand and foot together
-Exhale, deepen/check in with core connection and move along with breath
-Hips,ribs and head stay mostly stacked in line here. The full body is rotating open for leg to kick through. Not a torso twist

Kick through

-Hinge/sit back
-Drive up through the ground and hop to the side
-Land softly
-Keep control 
-Modify stepping over between squats/less jump

Lateral jumps

-Hips, ribs + head stacked with chin tucked 
-Stay on the balls of the feet as you hop
-Knee drives up and hand reaches across- reach to calf instead of foot if needed
-Core works with breath through the movement. Exhale with exertion 
-Only move as quickly as you can have good form and deep core connection

Loved this lower body workout! Lower reps made it possible to lift heavier weights while maintaining proper form 👍

This was a really targeted and phenomenal workout! One exercise is missing. The step up to step back left side is missing. Otherwise this was fantastic!

Great one!! I’m a hurdle coach (former D1 hurdler) & I’m going to incorporate those plank leg circles into my ab routine for my athletes.  If I go the opposite way you did it mimics the trail leg motion. Awesomeness!!
