Form is more important than reps! You might not hit all reps or even do all rounds, that’s ok!  It may start small but will build each week to continue to maximize your gains. You got this!

FLEXIBILITY ANYTIME, ANYWHERE

WRIST WARM UP

Description: Follow the video to get your wrists ready for weight bearing.

WORKOUT 1

SWEEPS - 2 HANDS FORWARDS

Description: This is a great coordination move. Begin with your hands on the floor in front of you. You will shift your weight towards your stance leg while straightening out your sweep leg. Begin your sweep out in front of your body and towards your stance leg. Put your weight into your arms and “hop” your stance leg over sweep leg then continue to bring your sweep leg around your body.

Goal: 3 rounds of 6 sweeps per leg

PISTOL SQUAT TO RAISED SURFACE

Description: Begin with your arms out infront of you to assist with counterbalancing. Balance on one leg with your other leg held out in front of you. Slowly lower yourself via pistol squat to a raised surface of appropriate height (edge of bed, couch arm, couch seat). No falls or flops so make sure the raised surface is the right height for you.

Goal: 3 rounds of 8 reps each leg.

FROG STAND - HANDSTAND PROGRESSION

Description: Start with hands flat on the floor. Walk feet near hands and lean knees against bent elbows. Lean forward to increase weight on hands then lift the legs to balance. Maintain that forward lean with hips stacked over your hands and shoulders and then lift 1 leg up off the elbows and return with control.

Goal: 3 rounds of 10 reps per leg. 

Try to lift both knees and land them back on your arms. If you're falling out of the frog stand, then focus on lifting one knee at a time.

FRONT LEVER CRUNCH HOLD

Description: Begin this move with your legs tucked up to your chest. Then attempt to flex your shoulders and bring your body up so it is parallel to the floor. Hold this position maintaining hollowbody spine.

Goal: 3 rounds of 3 reps x 10 second holds

STALDER PULSES

Description: Start sitting with legs spread wide into a split position. Place hands between legs flat onto the ground. Working to keep the hands flat on the ground, contract your core to cause your pelvis to tilt backwards causing your legs to lift off the ground. *You will need to be sure to hold a strong quad contraction and to point your toes to help the quads to maximally engage.*

Goal: 3 rounds of 10 reps.

I didn't see a video of this. Let me know if you're ready to progress

PULL UPS TO NIPPLE LINE

Description: Pull yourself up to your nipple line without using momentum. If you cannot make it to nipple line then work negatives by stepping up on a bench or step and controlling the lowering.

Goal: 3 rounds of 10 reps. 

FRONT SPLIT WITH ER

Description: This move starts by placing the stretching leg onto a raised surface at chest height or higher. The surface needs to be on the outside of the leg so that as you lean forward you are stretching away from the midline of the body.

Goal: 30 second holds x 4 reps each leg

WORKOUT 2

NINJA STRENGTH KATA - LEVEL 1

Description: Send us a video once you’ve mastered it so we can level you up! 🙂

Goal: 3 rounds of 1-2 reps

LOW OPEN CRUNCH PLANCHE

Description: Begin in a crunch planche with your elbows straight. Place your knees on the back of your triceps. Extend at your hips to lift your knees off your triceps. If you are unable to lift and hold the open planche, perform knee lifts landing your knees back on your triceps every rep.

Goal: 3 rounds of 5 reps.

RATTLESNAKE SQUAT

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. Rotate your toes up to the ceiling then place back on the floor.

Goal: 3 rounds of 8 reps each direction 

BENT KNEE V-STAND + LEG LIFTS

Description: Begin in a bent knee V-stand with your pelvis off the floor. You will then straighten one leg at a time as the video shows.

Goal: 3 rounds of 8 reps each leg.

HANDSTAND PUSH UPS

Description: Get into a handstand on the wall, core tight and back not arched. Carefully bend and straighten your elbows to perform a handstand push-up. With time and strength, bend your elbows deeper to perform a full push-up.

GOAL: 3 rounds of 1 handstand with 5-10 push-ups

GARRETT - start with handstand stacking belly to wall

MUSCLE UP WITH FEET

Description: Position yourself under the rings with arms over head, hands in a false grip. Use your feet as lightly as possible as you perform a muscle up.

Goal: 3 rounds of 5 reps.

Garrett, make sure you are using a false grip like the video below the muscle up video so the transition is more natural on your wrists.

BODY ROLLS

Description: Start by tucking your chin to your chest, then rounding your shoulders and continue rolling down to end with your body bent in half and your hands as low to the ground as possible.

Goal: 5 rolls slow and controlled

PIGEON STRETCH

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: 30 second holds x 2 reps each leg

WORKOUT 3

L-STAND HOLDS

Description: Begin by pressing up into your L-stand. *Do not lose your turtle shell or compression!

*Count your seconds so we can monitor your progress!

Goal: 3 rounds of 3 L-stands for as long as you can hold 

TOES TO HANDS

Description: Hanging on a pull-up bar or equivalent surface, use your core to lift your legs into an L. You will then use your core and shoulders to touch your toes up to the pole.

Goal: 3 rounds of 5 reps

CRUNCH DIPS

Description: Perform a full range tricep dip on rings while maintaining a lower body “crunch.” Lower yourself as far down as you can go. The range here matters more than rep number to progress towards muscle ups.

Goal: 3 rounds of 8 reps

SUPINE HAMSTRING STRETCH WITH STRAP

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: 2 reps each leg x 30 second holds 

PULSE SPLITS

Description: This move starts by leaning forward and allowing your hands to reach the ground with knees bent. Then slide your legs out to the side, straightening your knees as you slide them outwards. Once you reach a comfortable split position with minimal stretching, you will gently pulse your groin up and down to give an additional stretch at the bottom of the pulse and back to resting position at the top of the pulse allowing your body weight to be partially supported by your arms.

Goal: 4 reps with 15 seconds of pulsing

SHOULDER STRETCH WITH TOWEL

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: 3 reps each arm with 15 sec holds
