I spend four days a week lifting heavy. So when I get a day off from lifting, I like to do body weight movements, core, and running work. This movement is one of my favorites! It requires stabilization as well as control of movement. It is a bit more advanced so if you’ve been doing a lot of sit ups and planks this is a nice next step up in difficulty. Burn baby, burn!

Action Steps:

1) Take your time on these. Check in with yourself to see if you feel your core, glutes, arms and thighs engaged.

2) Try to keep the wrists as straight as you can.

3) Set the shoulders so they don’t get pulled out of joint. Imagine you are pinching a pencil vertically between your shoulder blades setting them up, back and down.

4) Try and keep hips parallel to the floor. Hips open!
