EVERYDAY FLEXIBILITY

WORKOUT 1

FLARE AROUND THE WORLD HOLDS

Description: 5 second holds per position.

Goal: 3 rounds of 1 min each direction (so 2 min per round)

FROG STAND

Description: This move starts by placing your hands on the ground flat in front of you slightly wider than your shoulders. You will then bring your feet close to your hands to allow your inner thigh near your knees to lean against your elbows. From there you will lean forward to lessen weight on your feet until you can lift BOTH FEET up off the ground.

Goal: 2 rounds of 5 reps for as long as you can hold.

Extra Notes: Put a pillow down by your head for if/when you lose your balance forwards 🙂

Continued breathing throughout

SQUATTED HIP WALL CRUNCH

Description: Lie on your back with your feet on the wall. Push your lower back into the floor as you crunch your upper body up. The goal is to touch your hands to the wall without using momentum.

Goal: 2 rounds of 10 reps. 

TWIST SQUATS

Description: Start in the horse stance squat (hips and knees at 90 degrees.) Twist 90 degrees to one side, then complete bending the knee to the floor. Goal is to keep the stance narrow to allow the back knee to land at the front heel.

Goal: 2 rounds of 5 reps per leg

Exhale while lowering down, inhale while twisting, exhale as you’re pushing back up into standing.

Feet a little wider than shoulder width apart

V STAND - LEVEL 0.5

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: 2 rounds of 10 reps each leg. 

WIDE HIP SQUAT

Description: This move starts with your legs far apart and rotated out to where your toes are pointed out as demonstrated. Hold onto a countertop, rail, etc for balance support. Go into a deep squat. Squeeze your booty cheeks together to power your way back up.

Goal: 2 rounds of 8 reps

Inhale on the way down. Exhale when pushing up.

CROSSED ARM TRICEPS

Description: Begin in a plank on forearms with arms crossed as videoed. Make sure your lower back is not arching. Keep your forearms crossed as you use your trcieps to push up one at a time.

DAY 2

SEATED HIP ROTATION KICKS

Description: Begin sitting with one leg back before you as the video shows. Use your hip and core muscles to bring your leg around the front and produce a high kick. Try not to let your trunk sway to the side to compensate.

Goal: 2 rounds of 5 reps each leg.

SIDE PLANK THREAD THE NEEDLE

Description: This move starts in a side plank position. You then will lift your hips from the floor to be neutral with your shoulders and back down. When on your left arm, you will take your right leg and position in front of you on the floor to lessen side discomfort. Focus on holding your core tight to keep your spine as neutral as possible. Take your top arm and “thread the needle” by rotating at your bottom shoulder.

Goal: 2 Rounds of 8 reps each side 

LOWERING FROM SITTING

Description: Start with your knees bent and slowly lower your body to the floor (without fully relaxing). Perform a sit up back to the top. The key here is a tight core throughout and lower yourself SLOWLY.

Exhale while lowering down. Inhale when sitting back up.

Goal: 2 rounds of 8 reps

CLAM SHELLS

Description: This move starts by laying on your side with both of your knees bent. Use your top arm to hold the top of your pelvis to assure you don’t let your top hip roll backwards. Use your outer hip muscles to lift your top leg off the bottom leg. Only lift as far as your HIP can move. Do not let your pelvis move because then the strength is coming from your lower back.

Goal: 2 rounds of 8 reps with GOOD FORM

Knees at 45 degrees - Straighten top knee to add resistance to your hip

PISTOL SINGLE LEG SQUATS MODIFICATION

Description: Start standing with feet wider than your shoulders. Then squat with 90 degrees of bending at hips and knees. You will then shift towards 1 side then the other without lifting your hips between sides.

Goal: 2 rounds of 10 reps per leg

Exhale when lowering down, inhale while pushing up

Feet a little wider than shoulder width apart and toes turned out slightly. STAY DOWN as you shift left and right.

BRIDGING OVER YOUR OTTOMAN

Goal: 2 rounds of 3 reps with 10 second holds

Breathe continuously throughout.

WALL PUSH-UPS

Description: Follow the video to perform a wall push-up. Keep your elbows close to your body to target your triceps more.

Goal: 2 rounds of 10 reps. 

Inhale when going down. Exhale while pushing up. 

Try holding the edge of your countertop

BUTTERFLY STRETCH

Description: This stretch starts by sitting with good posture. Place the bottoms of your feet together and pull them in close to your pelvis. Use your elbows/hands to push your knees down towards the floor. 

Goals: 30-45 second holds x 3 reps

Extra Notes: If you feel a deep pinch in your hip or lower back/pelvis, please let Bethany know.

Breathe continuously with all stretches
