Execution: 
- alternate curling the dumbbells up towards your shoulders in a “sprinting” motion

- a little movement side to side is ok. If you start to feel your traps raise or shoulders take over, that is your sign to drop weight

Tempo: steady 
Modification: drop to knees

Set Up: 
- position yourself on the ground in a push up/high plank position. 
- move your hands in so they are inside shoulder width [make a diamond shape with your fingers if possible, how close your hands are will also be dictated by your upper body mobility. Position your hands in the strongest position for you, inside shoulder width.]
- squeeze your glutes and quads simultaneously and push your mid back through your scapula to hold the brace

Execution: 
- bend your elbows and keep them close to your sides as you lower your chest towards the ground
- lower until you reach a full stretch in the triceps and chest [or simply lower as far as your strength allows, arms bent at least 90 degrees at the bottom]
- press through your palms and extend your arms straight again as you return to the start position

- drop to your knees at any point throughout the sets to finish the reps
- make sure the hips and torso rise and fall together [watch for the hips dipping or rising before the torso]

Diamond Push Ups

Time: 1 minute
Tempo: steady 
Modification: forearm supported bent knee raise or lying bicycles

*be sure to track how many reps you are able to complete within the 1 minute time cap. This will allow you to refer back to this number from week to week.

*you may take as many short rests as needed to get through the minute. Keep track of your reps if you need to break. 

Set Up: 
- use a bench or chair to grip the pull-up bar if needed
- grip the bar just outside of shoulder width apart
- extend your arms and legs allow your body to hand down from the bar
- position your toes in front of your torso and create a ‘hollow’ position [drive your ribs down- this will help you keep the movement focused in your core]

[or as far as you are able to while keeping control in your core]
