FULL BODY FLEXIBILITY WORKOUT

Description:  Follow along with this video for a full-body flexibility training.

Goal:  1 round of each move, 10 second holds per move

BODY ROLLS

Description: This stretch begins while standing, perform a body roll paying CLOSE attention to not allow your bottom to shift backwards. Put your booty against a wall with your feet 2-3 inches away from the wall to hold yourself accountable. You should feel a strong stretch in the back of your calves. 

Goal: 1-2 minute holds x 3 reps

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

Goal: 2 Rounds, 5 reps per leg per round. 

2 ROUNDS:

15-30 seconds between rounds of moves. Only take as long as it takes you to move from one position to another. 

WEIGHTED SHOULDER CIRCLES

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.

Goal: 2 rounds of 10 circles.

HANGING HOLLOWBODY TO SUPERMAN

Description: Hold a hanging hollowbody with your core tight and lower back rounded/tucked x 5 seconds. Then control the transition to hanging superman x 5 seconds.

Goal: 2 rounds of 5 reps.

DOOR FRAME SQUAT HOLD FOR KNEE FLEXION

Description: This move starts in a squatted position. Try to get as close to a horse stance (hips and knees at 90 degrees) as you are able to do. Stay down in the squat and step your leg out then back in. Switch legs.

Goal: 2 rounds, 10 reps each leg

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

BRIDGED ROWS

Description: Holding the rings lean backwards with feet flat on the ground, knees bent and hips level with knees. Keep hips elevated throughout by contracting glutes strongly. Then you will complete rows.

Goal: 2 rounds of 10 reps. 

*ALTERNATE: SCAPULAR DEPRESSION*

Description: This move starts laying on the ground on your stomach. Then, with your arms flat on the ground above your head, squeeze your shoulder blades down and slightly together. Your arms will help by bending at the elbows to bring the shoulder blades downward as well.

To make this move more difficult you can also lift your chest up off the floor as you pull your elbows back.

Goal: 2 Rounds, 15 reps per round. 

TABLE TOP HOLDS
