Goal: 1 round of each move
Description: Perform 10-15 reps of each exercise
Description: This move starts by standing with your feet slightly separated. Keep your knees straight, do a body roll until your hands touch the floor. Walk your hands out to a tall plank position. Use your core to pull yourself back up into a standing position while trying to keep your knees straight the whole time.
Goal: 4 rounds of 5 reps
Description: This move begins in a frog stand. Then perform a “push-up” type movement with your arms as you kick your legs backwards into a tall plank. Assure your core is intact to keep your lower back from arching.
Goal: 4 rounds of 8 kickbacks
Description: Start in the horse stance squat (hips and knees at 90 degrees.) Twist further than 90 degrees to one side allowing the back leg to pass under the front leg, then complete bending the knee to the floor as much as possible.
Goal: 4 rounds of 10 reps each direction
Description: This move begins with lifting yourself into a pull-up position by using a box or step of some kind. You will focus on control lowering yourself back into the full hang. Use the step to hop back up into a pull-up position again.
Goal: 4 rounds of 5-8 negatives with at least 5 second lowering
Description: Hang from your pull up in a tucked up position. Straighten your knees into an L extension then return to a tucked up position.
Goal: 4 rounds of 5 reps
Description: This move starts in standing. You will hold the towel with 1 arm that will lift above your head causing the towel to be placed behind your back. Then with the other arm you will reach behind your back for the towel. Work your hands towards each other using the towel as a guide to bring them closer together. When you have reached as closely together as you can, use the upper hand to pull the towel slightly up to give an extra stretch to the lower hand behind your back.
Goal: 1 round of 4 reps each arm x 15 second holds
Description: Start sitting on floor with legs out straight and toes pointed. Position hands on floor in front of hips trying for near middle of the thigh. Lean forward and give a strong push with your triceps and shoulders downward to lift your bottom. HOLD the V-stand and lift one leg at a time. Do 10 reps of one leg before switching legs.
Goal: 4 rounds of 10 reps each leg
Description: This move starts by standing two feet away from the wall. Perform a wall bridge then walk your hands down the wall as far as you can. Eventually the goal is to get your hands all the way to the floor and back up into standing.
Goal: 4 rounds of 3 reps
Description: Start standing with feet wider than your shoulders. Then squat as deep as you can. You will then shift towards one side then the other fully extending your leg out without lifting your hips between sides.
Goal: 4 rounds of 10 reps each direction
Description: Start sitting with legs spread wide into a split position. Rotate your body towards one leg. Place your hands on either side of your leg with your palms flat onto the ground. Focus on lifting one leg at a time. *You will need to be sure to hold a strong quad contraction and to point your toes to help the quads maximally engage.*
Goal: 4 rounds of 10 reps each side
Description: Start in a squatted position with arms straight. Perform a full range tricep dip on rings. Lower yourself as far down as you can go. The range here matters more than rep number to progress towards muscle ups.
Goal: 4 rounds of 5 reps
Description: This stretch begins while laying on the floor. Bring one knee to your chest, and then straighten that leg. Keep your back flat against the ground. You should feel a strong stretch in the back of your thigh.
Goal: 1 round of 4 reps each leg x 30 second holds
Extra Notes: To lengthen the hamstrings you need longer hold times compared to other muscle groups. It is recommended to get at least two minutes of holds in for each leg.
Description: This move starts in lunged position. Place one leg in front of you like in the video. You will then lean forward causing an increase in stretch to the hip/buttock area. *Be sure to keep your chest up and hips pointed forward.*
Goal: 1 round of 4 reps each leg x 30 second holds
Description: Hold a hanging hollowbody with your core tight and lower back rounded/tucked x 5 seconds. Then control the transition to hanging superman x 5 seconds.
Goal: 4 rounds of 5 reps x 5 second holds each direction
Description: Hanging on a pull-up bar or equivalent surface, use your core to lift your legs into a crunch, knees to chest. You will then use your core and shoulders to rotate your knees from one side to another.
Goal: 4 rounds of 10 reps each direction
Description: Holding the rings lean backwards with feet flat on the ground, knees bent and hips level with knees. Keep hips elevated throughout by contracting glutes strongly. Then you will complete rows.
Goal: 4 rounds of 10 reps
Description: Start in sitting with legs wide. You will then place 1 hand on each side of 1 leg. You will then lean forward working your core compression while strongly pushing through your triceps to lift your bottom. Once your bottom is off the ground, you will then work to lift the leg between your hands up and off the ground by crunching your core.
Goal: 4 rounds of 8 reps each side
Description: Start by inverting your body holding onto a bar or the underside of a couch/bed. Then lower your body keeping your core active to lessen any hip bending. You then will lift your body back up to an inverted position. **You can allow your knees to bend and touch the floor if you cannot lower and return to inverted position without.
Goal: 4 rounds of 10 reps
