Description: Day 20 | Circuit

Repeat the exercises in order
they appear in the circuit.
Take as much rest as you need before starting again at the first exercise.
Repeat circuit a total of 4x.

Tips:
- start with a neutral spine {which means hips on the ground, small space in
the low back, ribs and shoulders on the ground, small space behind the neck
and back of the head on the ground - eyes looking at the ceiling
- feet on the ground with the outside edges parallel
- evenly distribute the weight on the feet but keep the arch of the foot in tact
{this means the heel, outside edge and big toe mound are equally touching
the ground - the toes aren't gripping}
tuck the pelvis under to keep the core engaged as you press into the heel of
the feet to lift the pelvis up
- come back down to the ground slowly and in control.

Glute Bridge

Tips:
- start out with your weight evenly distributed on both feet and both feet facing forward
- brace the core and tuck the pelvis {tailbone slightly under} to create a perfect cylinder for your core
- shift the weight to the right foot but keep the hips even
- step the left toes a full stride length back
- keep the integrity of the ribs and tip forward w the upper body just a smidge
- avoid the ribs flaring forward or loosing the core stability - belly button to spine
is a great thing to think of
- keep the glutes turned on as you lower the left knee down to the ground
avoid gripping the ground with your front toes
- to stand back up squeeze the glutes
- keep the core braced and push into the back toes and the front heel bring the left foot to meet the right

Alternating Reverse Lunges

- Start in a high plank position 
- Take one hand off the floor and touch the opposite shoulder 
- Repeating on the opposite side

Tips:
- start out in a plank position but with a slightly wider foot stance for a wider base
much like the push up {move 2} the option to be on knuckles /fists instead of
wrists is there but try to do work towards an engaged palm- you achieve this by
spreading out the finger tips - pushing into the thumb mounds, the outer edges
of the hand and the pointer mounds of the hand leaving a little air pocket in the
very centre of the hand.
- activate the core by tucking the pelvis under - this keeps you from dropping
your low back and over-exaggerating your lumbar curve and keeps the spine in a neutral positon
- push the ground away to activate the shoulders and separate the shoulder blades
- squeeze the glutes about 40%
- keep the core active to counter balance and keep the hips even as you bring your
right hand to left shoulder - bring the hand back down and activate through the
palm and then repeat on the other side

Shoulder Taps

- From a seated position with knees bent and feet off the floor
- Keep your back straight and lean back to 45 degrees 
- Clasp hands together in front of your core
- Twist your torso from side to side

Tips:
- start out with a flat back, shoulder blades away from the ears and down the
back
- push the boney part of your butt {sits bones} into the ground to engage the
core
- lift the feet off the ground
- initiate the movement from your mid section to twist to the right
- avoid lifting the opposite sits bone {this may mean your twist isn't as deep -
that's okay}
- additionally avoid hunching over to tap the ground - if you cannot reach it
with the amount you can turn don't worry - you'll get there eventually.
- think of this move as a rib swivel - so like you are ringing out a wet towel - your hands on the towel are your ribs and your pelvis and the middle twisted
part are your abdominals 
- again initiating from the mid section start to twist to the other side

Russian twists
