- Begin in Downward Facing Dog with equal weight on the hands and feet. Flare the heels slightly wider than the toes so the outside edges of the feet are parallel with the outside edges of your mat. Spread the fingers wide, and press into the palms to push the hips away from you.
- On your next inhale, shift weight forward into your hands as you scoop the chest between the hands, coming into Upward Facing Dog with the toes tucked.
- Exhale to lift the hips up, and press the chest back, returning to Down Dog.

Down dog to up dog

- Begin in plank position, with your shoulders over your wrists, your body in one straight line, core engaged,  and your feet together.
- Like the motion of a jumping jack, jump your legs wide and then back together. 
- Keep your pelvis steady and don't let your booty rise toward the ceiling.

Plank jacks

- Start on your hands and knees, aligning your wrists underneath your shoulders and your knees underneath your hips.
- Think of the spine as a straight line connecting the shoulders to the hips. Keep the neck long by looking down and out.
- Curl your toes under and tilt your pelvis back so that your tailbone sticks up.
- Let this movement ripple from your tailbone up your spine so that your neck is the last thing to move.
- Your belly drops down, but keep your abdominal muscles hugging your spine by drawing your navel in.
- Take your gaze gently up toward the ceiling without cranking your neck.
- Tip your pelvis forward, tucking your tailbone. Again, let this action move up your spine. Your spine will naturally round. Draw your navel toward your spine.
- Return to starting position to complete rep

Cat/Cow

- Standing straight with feet under hips, and arms down by side with palms facing towards you and weight in each hand.
- Engaging your core raise your arms over your head toward the ceiling to form the letter "I" and hold for a few seconds.
- Spread arms over your head to form letter "Y" (Squeeze shoulder blades together)
- Then, form the letter "T" by extending your arms fully out to the side so they form a 90 degree angle and your palms face the ground.
- Return to starting position to complete the movement.

Dumbbell Overhead March in Place

Circuit 1

C. 4 Sets:
C1. Dumbbell Bicep Curl x 12 reps 
C2. Dumbbell upright row x 12 reps
C3. Single dumbbell front raise x 12 reps
*Rest 20 seconds between sets

- Stand up straight with a dumbbell in each hand at arm's length. Keep your elbows close to your torso and rotate the palms of your hands until they are facing forward. This will be your starting position.
- Now, keeping the upper arms stationary, exhale and curl the weights while contracting your biceps. Continue to raise the weights until your biceps are fully contracted and the dumbbells are at shoulder level. Hold the contracted position for a brief pause as you squeeze your biceps.
- Then, inhale and slowly begin to lower the dumbbells back to the starting position.
- Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.

Dumbbell bicep curl

- Grasp a dumbbell in each hand with a pronated (palms forward) grip that is slightly less than shoulder width. The dumbbells should be resting on top of your thighs. Your arms should be extended with a slight bend at the elbows and your back should be straight. This will be your starting position.
- Use your side shoulders to lift the dumbbells as you exhale. The dumbbells should be close to the body as you move it up and the elbows should drive the motion. Continue to lift them until they nearly touch your chin. Tip: Your elbows should drive the motion. As you lift the dumbbells, your elbows should always be higher than your forearms. Also, keep your torso stationary and pause for a second at the top of the movement.
- Lower the dumbbells back down slowly to the starting position. Inhale as you perform this portion of the movement.
- Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.

Dumbbell upright row

- Stand tall, abs engaged, with both hands holding one dumbbell (the ends of the DB)
- Keeping your elbows soft, reach your arms in front of you, until they are at shoulder height.
- Slowly lower the dumbbell down to your hips.

Single dumbbell front raise

Circuit 2

D. 3 sets
D1. Single arm bent over row x 15/arm
*Rest 20 seconds between sets

- Take one step back into a lunge position. Keep a soft bend in your front leg with the knee in line with your ankle and back leg straight. Lean slightly forward, and rest your free hand on your front thigh. 
- Lower the dumbbell toward the floor until you have a full extension at the elbow. Maintain proper posture through your shoulders, hips, and lower back. Avoid rounding or arching the lumbar spine.
- Begin the upward motion of the dumbbell by first sliding your shoulder blade toward your spine and then lifting the weight up toward your torso by driving your elbow to the ceiling. Keep your elbow close to your body as it passes the ribs.
- Squeeze your shoulder blade in toward the center of back and then lower it back down to complete rep.
- Repeat on other side with other leg forward
