Movement Prep

EXERCISE

TRAINER TIP

Glute March


  • Keep your head on the ground
  • Flex your glute muscles at all times to ensure proper activity
  • Move in a slow and controlled manner

Begin by lying on your back with your knees flexed at 90 degrees

Extend your arms out to each side for balance, lift your toes up off the ground

Drive through your heels by firing your glutes and lifting your hips up in the air until your range of motion has reached its limit

Once you are in a “bridge” position, pick one foot up off the ground and pull your knee toward your face

Return that foot to the ground and repeat with the opposite leg to complete one repetition

EXERCISE

TRAINER TIP

Lunge to Arm Raise


  • At the bottom of the movement your knee can rest on the ground
  • Make sure that your front heel stays in contact with the ground, bearing most of your bodyweight
  • Keep your eyes forward and your spine flat

Begin in a upright standing position with your feet together

Take a large step forward keeping your feet lined up with your hips

Drop your hips straight down keeping your upper body in an upright position

In the bottom position there should be a 90 degree angle in your front and back knee with your back knee almost touching the ground

Now shift your hips forward as you raise your arms up over your head with your thumbs pointing up

Once you feel a stretch in the front of your hip push back to the standing position and repeat on the opposite leg

EXERCISE

TRAINER TIP

Active Knee Raise


  • Keep your toes flexed up toward your face when raising your knee

Begin from a standing position

Balance on one foot using your arms or the wall to help keep balance

Raise one knee up in the air as high as you can without changing your body posture

Hold at the top position for 2-5 seconds

Return your foot to the ground for one repetition

 

Power Training

EXERCISE

TRAINER TIP

Bodyweight Split Jump


  • Keep your chest up throughout the whole movement
  • Focus your weight and balance on your front foot
  • During the squatting motion your front foot should stay flat on the ground
  • Keep your eyes focused forward, not down on the ground

Find an area with plenty of room overhead and begin with a split stance, with your feet in line with your hips

Lower your hips into a split squat position such that your front and back knees both have 90 degree angles

Upon reaching the bottom position, change direction quickly and explode up into a jump

In mid air switch your stance so that you land with the opposite foot forward

Land softly by absorbing the landing and proceed into the next repetition

 

Strength Training

EXERCISE

TRAINER TIP

DB Lunge


  • Keep your front knee over the top of your foot and do not let it pass in front of your toes
  • Keep your chest up and shoulder blades back throughout the movement
  • Press back up by pushing through your front heel

Hold a dumbbell in each hand

Step forward with one foot and lower your hips directly down toward the ground

Push off of your stepping foot back up to the start position

Repeat for the instructed number of repetitions

EXERCISE

TRAINER TIP

Bar RDL


  • Focus on glute and hamstring activation
  • Keep your stomach tight and shoulder blades pulled down and back toward your glutes throughout the whole movement
  • Do not let your back round
  • Do not thrust your hips forward at the top

Begin by standing in a hip width stance with a shoulder width grip on a barbell

Slightly bend your knees to get them “unlocked”

Pull your shoulder blades down and back to get good spine posture

Bow forward by bending at your hips not your lower back

Lower the bar until you feel tension in your hamstrings

Drive through your heels and stand back up to the start position

EXERCISE

TRAINER TIP

Cable Torso Twist


  • Stabilize your core and only rotate form your belly button up
  • Maintain an upright body position and do not lean forward to compensate for the weight
  • Hold your shoulder blades down and back

Set the cable pulley to a high point with a rope attachment

Begin in a kneeling position facing away from the cable pulley with the rope held in front of you

Fully extend your arms in front of your shoulders

Stabilize your core and rotate your shoulders to one side to about 45 degrees

Rotate your upper torso back to the middle, pause, and repeat on the opposite side

 

Recovery

EXERCISE

TRAINER TIP

Foam Roll Back


  • Spend more time on the tender areas
  • When concentrating on your lower back, grab the backs of your legs to prevent yourself from falling backwards

Begin by lying your upper back on your foam roller

Cross your arms across your chest with your hands on your shoulders

This should separate your shoulder blades and expose more muscle along your back

Now lift your hips up in the air so that your weight is supported by your feet and your upper back

Use your heels to roll from your upper back down to your lower back

EXERCISE

TRAINER TIP

Lat Stretch


  • Keep crawling forward with your fingers to create maximum stretch in your lats
  • You can reach your arms to the left and right for several seconds to get an added stretch in the muscle

Begin in a kneeling position and sit back on your heels

Keeping your back flat, reach forward and place your hands on the ground in front of you

Without lifting your butt off your heels extend your arms as much as possible and lower your head toward the ground between your arms
