Description: Total body warm up 2

Move continuously through exercises. Only rest if needed.

-my chair is a little high for ideal height!
-Position your back at the bottom of shoulder blade height on a stable chair, couch, coffee table that won't slide away.
-Feet at hip width or slightly wider
-Knees press out against the band
-Imagine your pelvis and ribs are gently connected through the movement. Ribs should not flare out and low back should not arch.
-Squeeze glutes to raise hips back up, should not be felt in the low back
-Your body makes a straight line from shoulders to knees at top
-Deep core works with your breath throughout the movement! (see core breathing tutorial)

Banded hip thrust

-Core is engaged throughout the exercise to support plank position (core hold tutorial)
-core stabilizes against wobbly torso as you move 
-slight anterior (towards face) pelvic tilt
-length through torso, chin tucked
-shoulders about over wrists
-Move slowly and with intention 
-don’t allow the band to pull leg back quickly

Raised hip flexor plank

-Elbows go straight back along the body to target triceps in press up
-Intensify by moving off knees into regular push up position
-Core works with breath through the movement. Exhale and engage on exertion. Core should be engaged when stretched out in ‘plank’ position

Tricep pressback

-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

Plank step up

-Reach arms flat on the floor and set feet at about fingertips for foot position
-Feet together
-Imagine your pelvis and ribs are gently connected through the movement. Ribs should ot flare out and low back should not arch. Slight pelvic tilt to face
-Squeeze glutes to raise hips up, should not be felt in the low back
-Your body makes a straight line from shoulders to knees at top
-Core stabilizes throughout 
-Low abs are working with pull of the leg
-Glute of the standing leg should be engaged
-Deep core works with your breath throughout the movement! (see core hold tutorial)

Banded bridge pulls

-Feet are wider than hips, adjust slightly to what’s most comfortable for you
-Knees and toes point the same direction
-legs actively press out against band
-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)

Banded sumo pulse

-Keep a light length through body with good alignment by keeping hips, ribs and head stacked in line and chin tucked
-Avoid rib fare when arms are overhead
-Start with arms close to shoulder width apart and press the band out with control as you raise your arms from bottom to top. Press out 4-5 times from top to bottom 
-Core works with breath throughout movement (see core breathing tutorial)

Band press out

-Sit back into a half squat with slight hinge forward so hips, ribs and head can stay stacked
-Weight is shifted back so glutes are working
-Feet are placed close, adjust slightly for comfort 
-Leg presses out so knees aren’t caving towards each other
-Keep a light length through the torso and chin tucked
-Core works to stabilize through the movmet
-Move as quickly as you can keep good form

Banded bell taps

-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 in bottom of squat or pull
-Pull shoulder blades together before pulling band apart - resist the urge to let ribs flare, core connection helps with that
-Core works with breath through the movement(see core breathing tutorial). Exhale, connect move
