Hey there Nancy! Here’s your custom workout. All you have to do is a little each day with commitment, a wee bit ‘o courage, and talking with your coach to keep moving forward and making tremendous progress. Thanks for being part of the community and we’re looking forward to everything you’re going to achieve!

You then will contract your quads on the leg between your hands to hold your leg very straight while you lift it up off the ground by tilting your pelvis posteriorly.
*You may have to start by leaning backwards a bit causing your hands to not be flat on the ground, but this will lessen as your core gets stronger.
Goal: 3 Rounds, 5 pulses per side, per round
Extra Notes: You might not hit 10 pulses 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: 3 rounds of 10 reps per leg
Extra Notes: You may have to hold onto something at the beginning to counter your weight
Description: Start standing and bring 1 leg up to the wall with your foot flat on the wall. Then, lean forward to feel a stretch at the hips/hamstrings and calves. Hold for a count of 10 seconds then bring leg down and repeat on other side.
Goal: 10 second holds x 5 reps each leg
NANCY – make sure you are reaching forward with both of your arms! Pull yourself towards your foot.

Extra Notes: You may have to come up between reps and that is okay. Listen to your body and keep good form.

Description: Start with hands flat on the floor. Walk feet near hands and lean inner thighs against bent elbows. Lean forward to increase weight on hands until you can lift your feet off the floor.
Goal: 10 attempts holding the frog stand as long as you can.
Extra Notes: You are encouraged to put a pillow down near your head incase you lean too far forward. Count how many seconds you can hold this and let Bethany know your progress! 🙂
Description: This stretch begins in a lung position with your back leg straight. Bend your front knee until you feel a stretch in the front of your back leg. Make sure you don’t arch your lower back. The only thing that should be moving is your front leg.
Goal: 5 reps each leg with 15 sec holds
Description: Begin in supine with your core set. Perform a “crunch” with your upper core keeping your shoulder blades off the floor the entire time. Hold weights in both hands with palms up. Make a circle beginning at your head, down to your hips, then around back above your head.

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.
*Hold the pull for a count of 3-5 to give a little extra stretch.*
Goal: 5 reps each arm
