Kickstart your Monday with this killer 2 block workout! Your legs are going to work hard, but the burn will feel so good!
We start off with Drinking Bird. This is one of the absolute best exercises you can do for your back, posture and even flexibility. It seems like a simple exercise, but you want to make sure you’re keeping your legs, back and upper body engaged. Once you master this variation, you can move on to one-legged exercises that will help strengthen your legs and feet. That might sound weird, but strong feet will prevent plantar fasciitis, ankle pain and other pain in your legs. Be sure to keep your feet planted straight and really focus on keeping the weight on them as you push your butt backwards for this move.
Next we have one of my favorite exercises, Shoulder Bridge Lifts! These will challenge your glutes to lift you up through the exercise. They build on the shoulder bridge by adding a lift where you press into your heels to lift your hips and chest up as far as you can.
We will start block 2 with Alternating Reverse Lunge. These will challenge your glutes to lift you up through the exercise. They build on the shoulder bridge by adding a lift where you press into your heels to lift your hips and chest up as far as you can.
Next we have Kneeling Hip Ups Right Side. These strengthen your obliques which can help with back pain and slimming down your sides. Keep your elbow and arm pressed into the ground as you stack your knees in line with your elbow, keeping that bottom leg planted on the ground for stabilization. You should feel those obliques firing hard as you lift and lower your hips. Great for core stabilization and your obliques are going to fire so hard in every single rep.
We wrap things up in block 3 with Kneeling Hip Ups Left Side! Now you have to do another set of kneeling hip ups in opposite side! Remember the obliques are going to be firing, so make sure you’re keeping your bottom leg planted and your arm and elbow pressed to the ground.
Remember to keep perfect form. If you can’t do more than a few of these, but you can do them, perfectly, that’s all that matters.
Alright Warrior, let’s do this!
