Equipment: Weighted Objects (water bottles, dumbbells, household objects), Elevated Surface

Superset 1

Move 1: Bear Crawl Shoulder Taps (8-12 each side)

  • Begin in a tabletop position with your knees hovering slightly above the floor, shoulders stacked over your hands and hips stacked over your knees.
  • Brace your core and bring one hand to touch the opposite shoulder and repeat on the other side.
  • MOD: Perform this movement on an elevated surface or hold a stationary bear crawl plank.

Move 2: Jump Rope (0:30)

  • Bend your knees and power off the balls of your feet while you loop the jump rope around your body and underneath your feet in a circular motion.
  • As you land and jump, do so from the balls of your feet and in a relaxed position without tensing your shoulders or arms.
  • MOD: Rather than jumping up and down, do a fast step touch, step touch in and out. Alternatively do calf raises in place – recommended to hold the wall or a chair back for balance.

Superset 2

Move 1: Wall Sit Bicep Curl (8-12)

  • Begin standing with your back supported against a wall and your weights in each hand.
  • Lower yourself down into a squat position with your lower back pressing against the wall and your weight in your heels.
  • Keeping the upper arms stationary, perform a bicep curl with both arms by curling the weights up to your shoulder while contracting your biceps.
  • Reverse the movement to return to your starting position and repeat the allotted curls while maintaining your squat position.

Move 2: Warrior Burpees (0:30)

  • Start in a standing position with your feet wider than hip distance apart.
  • Bend your knees and plant your hands on the floor or mat in front of you (hands stacked directly below shoulders) and jump or step your feet back into a tall plank position, keeping your core engaged.
  • Bring your right knee toward your left shoulder, then your left knee to your right shoulder in a cross-body mountain climber motion.
  • Jump or step your feet back in to meet your hands, loading the weight in your heels and stand.
  • Bring each foot up and across your body into a kick.
  • MOD: Perform this from an elevated surface or step your feet in rather than jumping.
