~ WORKOUT 1 ~

INCHWORM

Description:  This move starts by standing with your feet slightly separated. Do a body roll for as far as you can with your knee straight. Then bend your knees when you have to 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:  3 Rounds, 5 reps

TUCK UPS

Description: Begin in a tucked up position (knees to chest). Release your arms over your head and straight your knees out while laying down on your back. Then use your core to pull yourself back up into the tucked up position.

Goal: 3 rounds of 8 reps

SINGLE LEG HIP BRIDGE

Description: This move starts laying on the floor with knees bent so feet are flat on the floor. From there you will lift 1 leg straight up and then lift the hips up contracting your glutes strongly to lift your hips.

Goal: 3 Rounds, 10 reps per side, per round

V STAND

Description: This move starts sitting on the ground, legs straight, feet pointed. Then, with no momentum, lean forward, and use your core and triceps to lift as powerfully as possible to lift your bottom. Focus on holding your core tight to keep a rounded posture to support your back and your shoulders forward.

Goal: 3 Rounds of 8 reps 

WALL SITS + ARM ANGELS

Description: This move starts with your back against the wall. You will then slide your hips down so that your hips and knees make 90 degree angles. You will then hold your core tight to keep your back flat against the wall. You will then perform arm angels as the video shows.

*Only move your arms as much as your shoulder blades will allow. Don’t arch your back to make your arms move more.* 

Goal: 3 rounds of 2 reps with 30 second holds per rep (your arms move continuously throughout that 30 secs)

FIRE HYDRANT KICKS

Description: Begin on your hands and knees (quadruped position). Tighten your core to keep your trunk as immobile as possible. Lift one leg out to the side as far as your hip will allow. Picture a glass of water sitting on your lower back. Do not let the water pour out. Then kick your knee out as straight as you can. Slowly return to a quadruped position without letting your core rock.

Goal: 3 rounds of 10 reps per side

BACK EXTENSION

Description:  This move starts laying on the ground on your stomach.  Then, with your arms flat on the ground above your head with thumbs pointing up to ceiling, squeeze your shoulder blades down and slightly together while you lift your chest up off the ground.  

Goal:  3 Rounds, 10 reps per round

REVERSE CRUNCHES

Description: Start in a crunch with your shoulder blades as far off the floor as you can. You will then flex your legs up as far as you can bringing your hips and lower back up off the floor. Straighten your legs back out while staying up in a crunch position. Repeat.

Goal: 3 rounds of 10 reps

TANDEM STANCE WITH HEAD TURNS

Description: place one foot in front of the other (heel to toe). Hold this balance while turning your head left and right as fast as you can without losing your balance. Stand near a wall or something sturdy you can grab if you need to for safety.

Goal: 3 rounds of 5 attempts with each foot in front for as long as you can hold the position without stepping out of it. 

SEATED HAMSTRING STRETCH

Description: This stretch begins while sitting on the edge of a supporting surface. Straighten one leg and bring your toes up. Keep your back straight while leaning forward over your straight leg. You should feel a strong stretch in the back of your thigh. 

Goal: 30 second holds x 4 reps each leg

PIRIFORMIS HIP STRETCH

Description: This move starts in standing. You will then place 1 leg on a raised surface causing your entire shin bone to be supported on the surface with the shin crossing your body. You will then lean forward causing an increase in stretch to the hip area.

**Be sure that the leg is fully supported by the surface. This move should be done on a couch, bed or some other wide surface that will allow your leg to be fully supported.**

Goal: 4 reps each leg with 15 second holds

Workout 1 is complete! I'm proud of you Maritza!

~ WORKOUT 2 ~

PIKE TO PLANK

Description: This move begins in the pike position. Without moving your feet you will lower into a plank having to shift your body weight forward over your elbows. Use your core to then pull yourself back up into a pike.

Goal: 3 rounds of 8 reps. 

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: 3 rounds, 10-15 reps

GLUTE PULSES

Description: Begin with one leg straight and toe pointed towards the ground. Draw a half circle with your toes until the leg is fully behind you. Do 5 glute pulses making sure you do not rotate your pelvis but the strength comes from your glutes.

Goal: 3 rounds of 5 reps each leg (1 rep = 5 quick glute pulses)

HOLLOW BODY ROCKS

Description: This move starts by laying on your back. You will then contract your core while lifting your legs and arms just slightly causing your body to become like the bottom of a rocking horse. From there you will lift your legs up slightly to start the rock, holding your core tight throughout to ensure you keep a rounded body posture.

Goal: 3 Rounds of 10 reps.

MODIFIED PUSH-UPS

Description: Begin in a tall plank or push-up position. Lower yourself down into the push-up, put your knees on the floor then do a modified push-up back up. Then come back onto your toes.

Goal: 3 rounds of 10 reps. 

NEEDLE KICKS

Description: Follow the video. Be sure that you keep your hips in alignment with your surface (no rotation either way). Go slow and control the movement. Squeeze your booty to produce the “kick” – not momentum.

Goal: 3 rounds of 10 kicks each leg

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: 3 rounds of 5 reps per leg.

HIP CIRCLES

Description: This move starts by lying on your back with your legs straight. You will then lift 1 leg at a time doing circles with that leg being sure to keep the circles even and not rotating your hips away from the ground to compensate for any tightness.

Goal: 10 reps per leg in each direction

SHOULDER EXTENSION STRETCH

Description: Start standing with hands on a surface waist height or higher. Then walk feet backwards and bend at hips to allow the shoulders to open.

*Focus on making sure your back doesn’t arch and the movement comes from your shoulders*

Goal: 4 reps of 10 second holds.

Extra Notes: If you feel more of a stretch in the back of your thighs rather than your shoulders/back/chest – bend your knees! 🙂

Workout 2 is finished! Woo-hoo!!! Take a deep breath and stay focused on your goals. - Bethany 🙂
