[su_box title=”Circuit Two: Squat With Overhead Reach” style=”noise” box_color=”#fff” title_color=”#2e383f”]
Reps: 15
- Begin with your feet slightly wider than hip’s width apart and toes pointed slightly outward. Raise your arms up until your upper arms are even with your ears.
- Keeping your weight in your heels, sit back into your deep squat. Make sure your knees do not go beyond your toes or roll in or out of alignment. Keep your abs engaged as you squat.
- Deepen your abdominal engagement as you press through your heels to return to standing to complete one rep.
- Do 15 reps.
Your core is challenged more by keeping the arms overhead.[/su_box]
[su_box title=”Circuit Two: Rotating Deadlift” style=”noise” box_color=”#fff” title_color=”#2e383f”]
Reps: 12, each side
- Stand on your left leg with the right leg behind you with a bit of weight on your toes for balance; both knees are slightly bent. Place your hands behind head.
- Pull your abs toward your spine and keep your back straight as you hinge forward from your hips until your torso is almost parallel to floor.
- With a flat back, press through your left heel and return to standing as you twist your ribs and shoulders to the left. Your pelvis should stay still. This completes one rep.
- Do 12 reps, and then switch sides.
The addition of the twist while standing works the obliques and waist.[/su_box]
