-Then gradually build to a starting weight.

Focus Points:

-After placing the bar on the traps, take 1-2 steps back and establish your squat stance.

-Take a deep inhale and brace before descending in the squat.

-Keep your eyes fixed on a focal point straight in front of you.

-Torso should remain fairly vertical and your knees should track in line with your toes.

Focus Points:

-Today's Daily Sweat workout has a CAP of 25:00 so use SUBs to be able to achieve the GOAL times listed below.

-Choose a kettlebell weight that will give you a good challenge but is also doable for 12 reps unbroken.

-For the plank march be sure to hold each rep for 1sec at the top after lifting your leg.

-Alternate sides every rep. These get challenging so focus on positioning.

-The run is an opportunity to shake out the arms and give us a break from the midline and grip work.

-Smooth pace on the run and focus on breathing to keep the heart rate fairly stable.

Goal:

3:00-4:00min average per round

COACH'S NOTES

RDL (Dumbbell/Barbell)

-With a set of dumbbells in each hand, retract the shoulder blades down and back.

-Begin with a slight bend in the knees.

-While maintaining a flat back position, hinge at the hips and lower the dumbbells to feel a stretch in the hamstrings.

-Lower to just below the knee and squeeze the glutes at the top when you stand.

Weighted Box Step Ups

-Begin by starting with any form of weight (DB/KB/Med Ball etc).

-However you hold the weight is up to you but stacking it on the shoulder is a great option.

While keeping the chest tall, place one foot on top of the box and drive to a standing position with as little forward lean in the torso as possible.

-Complete the rep by bringing both feet together and standing with ankle, knee and hip extended on top of the box.

-Carefully step down and repeat the sequence with the opposite leg.

-Switch weight as desired and repeat for designated number of reps.
