Description: Total body sets + circuits

Need:
Dumbbells

We have 2 min lower body circuits + 2 upper body pairs here!

We hit all over the lower body + biceps and shoulders in this one😁

As always, choose a weight that challenges you but also allows for good form! Shouldn’t be an incredibly heavy weight since we move nonstop in each circuit.

Remember to be mindful and aware of what your core is doing throughout the workout.

Take up to 1 min between completed circuits. Don’t rest too long since we switch between upper and lower each time.

-Lighter weight than usual and as quick as form allows
-Feet are at or slightly wider than hip width. Adjust to what feels best and accommodates belly as it grows
-Start movement with hips hinging back, allowing knees to bend after
-Upper body moves as one piece keeping a light length through the torso and hips, ribs and head stacked
-Lats engage to help support weights
-Use glutes and to pull you back to standing
-Core works with breath through the movement (see core breathing tutorials)

Deadlift

-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

-Count to 3 at the bottom of the squat before coming back up
-Sit back and sink down to start the movement
-Foot should be planted on the floor with weight in the heels and balls of feet
-Adjust foot position slightly as needed
-Press up through the floor to standing, engaging the glutes to drive you up
-Keep hips, ribs and head stacked through the movement to prevent rib flare and overarching the low back
-Core works with breath through the movement(see core breathing tutorial)

Squat + 3 count hold

Lower 1

-Hinge hips back with all the same form you usually would (neutral spin, lats helping, length through torso, core supporting)
-Core works to support spine and prevent dumping into low back(see core hold tutorial)
-Adjust hinge at hips depth as needed
-Lats engaged to support weight
-length through torso

Bent curl

-Be sure hips, ribs and head stay stacked in good alignment so ribs don’t flare out at the top
-Reverse press may not allow for full extension of arm at top
-Controlled lower of weight
-Deep core works with your breath throughout the movement. Exhale engage (see core breathing)

Reverse press alternating

Upper pair 1

-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)

Sumo deadlift

-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 in line
-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)

Sumo rdl

-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 raise up for pulse
-Slow and controlled during lowering phase of pulse
-Core works with breath through movement (see core breathing tutorial)

Sumo pulse

Lower 2

-Start with weights more to the sides of the body than front. Think palms facing out from your sides not forward
-Slow and controlled lower
-Length through the torso with hips, ribs and head stacked
-Avoid using momentum to help weight up
-Core works along with breath throughout movement (see core breathing tutorial)

Side curl

-Weight is pressed up and diagonally out from the shoulders
-Be sure that movement is done in a controlled manner
-Exhale to engage deep core to stabilize before extending arm
-Keep hips, ribs and head stacked (in line) to avoid ribs flaring at the top
-Core works along with breath throughout movement (see core breathing tutorial) to stabilize and prevent arching back as you press
