The Workout

• :40 seconds of work and :20 seconds of rest
• 4 exercises
• 4 Rounds total
• 1:00 minute of rest between rounds

 

Split Squat to Overhead Press

 

Target: Quad, Glutes, Core Stability

• Holding the weights at your shoulders with your palms facing out, step backward about three feet with your left foot. Press the weights up to the ceiling.
• Lower the weight to your shoulders as you bend your knees, making 90-degree angles with both legs.
• Straighten both legs as you press the weights back toward the ceiling.

 

Bent-Over Reverse Fly

Target: Back, Core Stability

• Stand with feet shoulder-width apart holding dumbbells at your sides.
• Press the hips back in a hinge motion bringing your chest forward almost parallel to the floor.
• Allow the weights to hang straight down, palms facing each other.
• Maintain a tight core, straight back, and slight knee bend.
• Exhale and raise both arms out to your side, squeezing the shoulder blades together.
• Keep a soft bend in your elbows as you pull your shoulder blades toward the spine.
• Inhale as you lower the weight back to start position.
• Avoid hunching your shoulders up during the movement.
• Keep your chin tucked to maintain a neutral spine during the exercise.
• Focus on feeling the shoulders blades coming together with proper breathing from start to finish.

 

Lateral Lunge w/ Knee Drive

Target: Quad, Glutes, Core Stability

• Start standing tall with your feet about hips width apart.
• With control, step your right leg out to the right coming into a lunge. Your left leg should be straight and there should be a bend in your right knee.
• With most of your weight on your right leg/foot, push through your right heel as you simultaneously drive your right knee up and off the ground, returning to a standing position. Keep your foot flexed (don’t point your toes down).
• If this is too hard, you can return to the starting position and then lift your right knee up. Be sure to keep a 90-degree angle at the right knee and right hip — this is the part of the exercise that fires up your abs.

Core Twist

Target: Core Strength and Stability
