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.
Description: This move starts in kneeling with feet tucked under hips with tops of feet touching the ground. Rings above head in height. Holding rings pull-up to lift body off ground with feet last to leave the ground to then transition to dip position. Complete the movement by extending elbow fully. Then transition to dip and return to kneeling position.
Description: This move begins with lifting yourself into a pull-up position by using a box or step of some kind. You will focus on control lowering yourself back into the full hang. Use the step to hop back up into a pull-up position again.
Goal: 10 negatives with at least 5 second lowering
Description: Start with hands flat on the floor. Walk feet near hands and lean knees against bent elbows. Lean forward to increase weight on hands then lift the legs to balance. Maintain that forward lean with hips stacked over your hands and shoulders and then lift 1 leg up off the elbows and return with control.
Description: Great progress here! Now shift your weight onto your arms with arms about shoulder width apart. Once your arms have all the weight, practice “hopping” off your toes. Kill it!
Description: This move starts by leaning forward and allowing your hands to reach the ground with knees bent. Then slide your legs out to the side, straightening your knees as you slide them outwards. Once you reach a comfortable split position with minimal stretching, you will gently pulse your hips up and down to give an additional stretch at the bottom of the pulse and back to resting position at the top of the pulse allowing your body weight to be partially supported by your arms.
Goal: 4 reps with 15 seconds of pulsing
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. Hold position for a count of 10 seconds
*Focus to ensure that your back doesn’t arch and the movement comes from your shoulders.Â
Goal: 5 reps each arm with 10 second holds
Description: This move starts by placing the stretching leg onto a raised surface at chest height or higher. The surface needs to be on the outside of the leg so that as you lean forward you are stretching away from the midline of the body.
Goal: 30 second holds x 4 reps each leg
Description: This move starts in lunged position. Place one leg in front of you like in the video. You will then lean forward causing an increase in stretch to the hip/buttock area.
*Be sure to keep your chest up and hips pointed forward.*
Goal: 30 second holds x 4 reps each leg
Description: Start by tucking your chin to your chest, then rounding your shoulders and continue rolling down to end with your body bent in half and your hands as low to the ground as possible.
