You’re the absolute best fitness instructor!

Need:
Dumbbells

Pick a medium weight here. Nothing super light, it’s not cardio, but also not crazy heavy because we have really quick breaks. 

Focus on form over speed here. as many quality reps as possible within the interval.

Can take 10-15 seconds between each interval. It’s set in the circuit timer.

I really enjoyed this one and I hope you do too!😁

-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 and press
-Be sure to keep ribs tucked in and twist flaring as weights go overhead 
-Don’t let weights pull you forward during squat
-Core works with breath through movement (see core breathing tutorial)

Sumo squat + curl to press

-Hinge at the hips to start the movement
-Torso moves as one piece with hips, ribs and head stacked in line
-Lats engaged to support weight
-Glutes drive the hips forward to swing the weight/s
-Arms shouldn’t lift weights up - they just swing with force of hips. It’s ok if they aren’t reaching shoulder height
-Keep control of the weight
-Feet firmly planted from heel to big toe with weight mostly in the heels and balls of feet
-Core works with breath through the movement. Exhale and connect on exertion (swing)

Db/Kb swing

-Hinge hips back
-Torso should move as one piece with hips, ribs and head staying ‘stacked’ to maintain a neutral spine
-Deep core engages with exertion (works along with movement and breath)
-Lats engaged to support weight
-Glutes pull you back to standing position
-Only go as quickly as you can stay in control in of weights in movement
-Keep hips ribs and head ‘stacked’ so that ribs don’t flare at the top of press
-Land lightly
-Repeat reps on both sides

Snatch right

Snatch left

Bounds

-Start in full plank. Make sure core is engaged
-Hop feet in to wider than hips. This should be a hinged position, not rounded 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)

Pop deadlift hop

-Feet are wider than hips, adjust slightly to what’s most comfortable for you
-Knees and toes point the same direction
-Hinge back
-Torso moves as one piece like a door on hinge (hips are the hinges)
-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
-Raise weight over head as you press to standing, keep control of the weight
-Only go as quickly as you can keep good form and balance
-Core works with breath through movement to help with balance (see core breathing/core hold tutorial)

Hinge + overhead raise

-Weight starts on one side as you squat and presses to the other side as you press to standing
-Sit back and down into the squat, only go to range of motion that allows proper form
-Weight is mostly back in your heels and balls of feet but big toe is in contract with the ground
-Glutes drive the movement up to standing
-Ribs stay ‘tucked’ and pelvis stays close to neutral so that the low back isn’t over arching at the bottom of the squat (sticking out butt) and ribs aren’t flaring at the top of the press. Keep hips, ribs and head in line.
-Core works with breath throughout movement (see core breathing tutorial)

Press over + pop to toes

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!!
