<p>It's upper body & core Wednesday! We got this 3-block workout that will make your upper body do a lot of work!</p>
<p>We’re starting off block 1 with Explosive Couch Push Up. These are basically upright push ups that use a couch to get a really awesome explosion that will help prepare you for more challenging push ups. You should feel this a lot in the shoulders and triceps, and the key is to EXPLODE through your arms and with your exhale.</p>
<p>Next up are Kneeling Planks. People tend to get lazy with this exercise but you want to keep your body active by keeping your glutes squeezed to bring that pelvis forward which will challenge your lower body. Focus on tension in your abdominals by thinking about dragging your elbow towards your belly button to make it difficult. The kneeling plank shouldn’t be super easy, you should really feel it challenging your whole body.</p>
<p>Wrapping up block 1 with Step Jacks. Keep this whole exercise active by really pushing up your arms and stepping out your legs
These will get your heart rate up and leave you feeling amazing. If you’re not doing them right it can seem super easy to just step back in forth, but you want to make sure you’re keeping those arms active and really using those glutes to push your legs out. If you’ve been doing step jacks, I want to challenge you to try a few jumping jacks –– remember not to stomp your feet as you come down and take it slowly if you’re having difficulties.</p>
<p>Don’t get lazy on this second block as we will be knocking more Kneeling Planks! Squeeze those glutes and keep your abs stable and working to hold this position!</p>
<p>How does another round of Step Jacks for block 2 sound?! Be sure to keep your body super active with these and make them count. Your arms, legs and glutes should be working to get each rep done.</p>
<p>For block 3, we will have another round of Step Jacks! Keep this whole exercise active by really pushing up your arms and stepping out your legs. These will get your heart rate up and leave you feeling amazing. If you’re not doing them right it can seem super easy to just step back in forth, but you want to make sure you’re keeping those arms active and really using those glutes to push your legs out. If you’ve been doing step jacks, I want to challenge you to try a few jumping jacks –– remember not to stomp your feet as you come down and take it slowly if you’re having difficulties.</p>
<p>Then we will do another round of Kneeling Planks. Keep your body active by keeping your glutes squeezed to bring that pelvis forward which will challenge your lower body. Focus on tension in your abdominals by thinking about dragging your elbow towards your belly button to make it difficult. The kneeling plank shouldn’t be super easy, you should really feel it challenging your whole body.</p>
<p>Let's finish this whole workout by doing some more Explosive Couch Push Ups! Remember to explode off the couch with those arms so you can really work your shoulders and triceps
<p>You ready? Let's do this!</p>
