Remember to complete full and proper warm up to activate all of our target muscle groups, as well as to get your heart rate up so you feel ready to move!!

Modification: If you cannot squat all the way to the chair, try squatting half way down, and then stand up.

4. Good Morning

10 reps

  • Sit on the ground with legs straight out in front of you.
  • Lift one foot off the ground as far as you can using your quads and hip flexor muscles. Return it back to the ground, and repeat on the opposite side.
