Movements included in this workout
Front Plank with Arm Reaches
Begin in a pushup position with your shoulders over your wrists, your legs straight and feet hip-width apart and your body in a straight line. Raise your right arm until it is parallel with the ground and hold it in place for one second engaging your core. Bring the arm down and repeat with the other arm. Note – one rep consists of raising one arm and then the other.
Decline Pushups
Start on your hands and knees in front of the seat. Place your hands on the ground, about shoulder-width apart and then carefully place your knees on the front of the seat, one leg at a time. Perform a pushup by lowering your upper body to the floor and then return to the starting position. Remember to engage your core for added strength and support.
Forearm Knee Taps
Start in a plank position with your elbows on the ground directly underneath your shoulders and your feet hip-width apart. With your hips raised, your legs in a straight line and your weight on the balls of your feet, slowly touch your knees to the floor and then return to the plank position. Remember to keep your core engaged.
Triceps Dips
Place your hands on the front of the seat with your feet flat on the floor roughly shoulder-width apart and with your knees bent. Slowly bend your elbows and lower your body as far as you can without straining yourself and then press back up powerfully. Be sure to keep your elbows tucked directly behind your shoulder blades.
