Workout Directions

There are 5 exercises for this workout. Do each move in a row as a circuit.

• Option 1 : Work 40 sec, Rest 20 sec

• Option 2: Work 45 sec, Rest 15 sec

Do the circuit 4 times = 20 mins total

1. Squat + Hip Opener

• Alternate a bodyweight squat with a leg sweep over a single bar

• Sit weight back in heels with squat

• Make sure your back stays straight and does not start to curve at bottom of squat

• Can make easier by only doing hip openers over the bar and omitting the squat

• Can make bar lower by resting on side (with handle toward you)

• Can make harder by adding a hop and some speed to the hip openers

2. Knee Ups

• Start in high plank position with arms stacked (shoulders, elbows, wrists in a line)

• Place bars shoulder width apart

• Abs engaged

• Back straight

• Pelvis tucked

• Use momentum to swing forward and bring your knees towards your chest

• Shoot your feet back again to return to plank

• To make easier start with feet in front of your body, knees bent, and just bring one knee towards chest at a time, no momentum

• To make harder start from a suspended position and pull knees towards chest, no momentum

3. Heismans

• Place both bars on the ground as shown, equal distance apart

• Start with inside knee elevated

• Coordinate your arm drives with your feet movement

• Step in and over each bar as quickly as possible with a pause at each end

• To make easier keep knees lower and move at a slower pace

• To make harder pump arms harder, lift knees higher, and increase speed

4. Mountain Climbers

• Start in an elevated plank position

• Place bars shoulder width apart

• Alternate sides, driving knee in towards hands while keeping upper body fixed and core engaged

• Make easier by slowing down and stepping legs in one at a time

• Make harder by speeding up your pace

5. In and Outs

• Start on the ground with one bar in front of you

• Balance yourself by placing your hands slightly behind you

• Keep feet off ground the entire time

• Engage and use abs to keep yourself in this modified V-position

• Make easier by omitting the sweep over top of the bar

• If the in-and-out portion is still too challenging you can alternate tapping heels to the floor while in V-position

• Make harder by leaning back more and increasing your ROM that your feet travel
