Came back to this one because it’s super quick but so much fun! Really effective total body workout!

Amber

Another fantastic workout! You’re perfection!

Low reps and high rounds! It’s a great chance to start with a more challenging weight. You can always lower as you go if needed!

When choosing a weight, pick one that is challenging for the amount of reps while allowing good form.

Time will be slightly different for everyone!

-Feet wider than hips
-Make sure knees and toes are pointed in the same direction
-Start movement with hips hinging back
-Upper body moves as one piece keeping a light length through the torso and hips, ribs and head stacked
-Use glutes and inner thighs to pull you back to standing
-Think spreading the floor with your feet as you press to standing
-Core works with breath through the movement (see core breathing tutorials)
-Shrug (curl to modify if using lighter weight) the weight up to your shoulders to squat
-Hips, ribs and head are stacked through squat to prevent ribs flaring and lower back arching
-Use glutes and inner thighs to press back to standing from the squat

Sumo deadlift to squat (5 each)

-Core works to support spine and prevent dumping into low back(see core hold tutorial)
-Hinge at hips. Hips shift back, not just bent over at the waist.
-Keep hips, ribs and head stacked with length through the torso
-Adjust hinge depth as needed
-Lats engaged to support weight. Think shoulder blades pulled together
-each row is a rep

Wide to reverse bent row (5 each)

-Keep hips square (even with each other) when setting up legs
-Press through the front leg actively using the glute to drive you up to standing
-Modify depth and how far your legs are split apart to be more comfortable
-Core works along with breath (see core breathing tutorial)

Pulse lunges (5 each side alternating)

-Sit butt back and sink down to start the movement
-Full foot should be in contact with the floor with weight in the heels and balls of feet
-Adjust foot position slightly as needed at or around the hips
-Press up through the floor to raise up in pulse, engaging the glutes to drive you up
-Slowly lower during pulse, recruit the glutes
-Keep hips, ribs and head stacked through the movement to prevent rib flare and overarching the low back especially at bottom of squat.
-Slight hinge forward is fine in squat
-Core works with breath through the movement(see core breathing tutorial)

-At top of squat press weight our diagonally. Core should fire here as it needs to stabilize as weight is moved away from the body

Pulse squat + diagonal press out

-Core works with breath through the movement. Exhale connect, press weight. You may was to maintain a light connect in the lowering as well depending on what feels best for you.
-At start elbows come out and down from the shoulder in a wide ‘V’ not straight out from the shoulder like a ‘T’
-weight should be about in line with the chest at top, not over your face.
-can be done on bench etc as well as floor like shown
-maintain control of the weight during lowering phase

-Core should stabilize here as you press because of the single sided press

Alternating chest press (5 each)

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!!

Great flow of challenging exercises! 🙌🏻

Great workout to ease me back in after a week off due to travel.
