WORKOUT 1

.50 V stand

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: 3 rounds of 10 reps each leg. Extra Notes: You might have to come out of the V-stand before getting to 10 leg lifts to keep good form. Make a mental note on where you are so we can monitor your progress! You got this!

UNILATERAL STALDER PRESS

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 5 reps. Extra Notes: You might not hit 5 reps every round or even do all 4 rounds, that’s ok! It may start small but will build each week to continue to maximize your gains. You got this!

Goal: 3 rounds of 4  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 🙂

FROG STAND STAGE 2

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 1 foot up off the ground. Focus on holding your core tight to keep a rounded posture to support your back.

Goal: 3 Rounds, 5 reps per leg per round.

Extra Notes: You might not hit 5 reps every round or even do all 3 rounds, that’s ok! It may start small but will build each week to continue to maximize your gains. You got this!

Goal: 10 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 🙂
