Description: Lean + strong stability + mobility W12D1

Need:
Mat

Move slowly and with intention here!

Focus on feeling good throughout the movement, not pushing mobility too far.

-Start in a deep squat position
-stay bent forward and extend legs to standing
-it is going to be really tough I get fully extended if your hamstrings are tight- it’s ok!
-Mod for tight hamstrings: place hands on a chair, allowing the bend to be less deep

Squat extension

-press hips back towards the feet
-think of practicing deep squat mobility here
-keep good alignment in torso but otherwise upper body isn’t doing much here
-mindful of core and staying stable through the torso- no dipping/ arching of the back

Rock back

-Keep hips lifted and picture a line from knees to head with hips, ribs and head in line
-Keep length through the body
-Avoid hips, ribs or waist sinking towards the floor
-Rotate through the hip joint to move knee towards front/toes and then up towards the ceiling
-Deep core engaged through movement to stabilize you in the side plank

Side plank hip rotation right

Side plank hip rotation left

-Slight posterior pelvic tilt (tilting towards your ribs aka tuck) when in kneeling hip flexor position
-Keep hips square
-Keep light length through the stretch not sinking/dumping into it
-Take range of motion to a slight stretch, not discomfort or forced range of motion

Hip ham right

Hip ham left

-Keep both knees at 90 degrees and rotate at the hip
-Don’t force range of motion, knees don’t have to go to floor
-Core works with breath through movement. Engage during effort. (see core breathing tutorial)
-keep light length through the torso and hips, ribs and head aligned
-lean back into hands to modify

90-90

-Feet placed wider than hips, adjust slightly as needed to what feels best
-Knees and toes pointing the same direction
-Press through the ground to move back to the other side 
-Move slowly through your range of motion 
-Some weight can go forward into the hands if needed
-Stay low as you can
-Slight forward lean as hips press back
-Modify depth as needed
-Hips, ribs and head stacked in line to prevent rib flare and over arched low back
-Modify to a higher depth possibly using a chair/set for hands

Mobility side lunges

-Hips, ribs and head are stacked with a light length through the body
-Core stays connected through the movement, still breathing! See core hold tutorial in core function playlist
-Avoid hips sagging towards the ground or popping up to the sky
-Hands under shoulders
-Very slight anterior pelvic tilt (tucked). Imagine ribs and hips are lightly connected by a string
-Step up as range of motion allows. Raise hands on chair or low step if needed

Step up plank

-Keep hips lifted and picture a line from knees to head with hips, ribs and head in line
-Keep length through the body
-Avoid hips, ribs or waist sinking towards the floor
-Draw tall circles with your toe
-Deep core engaged through movement to stabilize you in the side plank

Forward leg circles right

Backwards leg circles right

Forward leg circles left

Backwards leg circles left

-stay extended as if you’re in a full plank
-core working
-rock hips side to side working a range of motion that feels good
-slow and intentional, this one is easy to be sloppy with!

For the fire section I think you meant reps instead is seconds ? And for the trenching one stretch is 303sec 😉

I really enjoyed the great variety of exercises!

For some reason the app isn’t allowing me to play any of the follow along workouts 🤷‍♀️

It’s fixed!! You’re right, reps not minutes. So sorry!

Tough workout, it may be one round too long. I couldn’t finish unfortunately, but got close! It takes a bit over an hour to do it full out
