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
- You can make it easier by:
- only doing hip openers over the bar and omitting the squat
- make bar lower by resting on side (with handle toward you)
- You can make it more difficult by adding a hop and some speed to the hip opener
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. Ins 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
