[1 Round to be completed before each workout to prime the joints]

MOVEMENT PREP:​

[2-3 ROUNDS - MINIMAL REST IN BETWEEN ROUNDS]

1. FULL BODY SPINE WAVES (6-8 REPS)

Sit back on your heels with your arms reaching out in front of you on the floor. Keeping your head tucked in, slowly start to lift your glutes into the air, until both legs are straight (down-dog position), and then tuck your pelvis and start to round your spine, starting with your lower back, middle back, scapulas and shoulders. Once you reach your shoulders, you should start to lower your hips slowly to the floor, unraveling your spine, with your head being the last to come up (cobra position). To reverse the wave, start by tucking the head first, and then rounding the shoulders, scapulas, middle back until your glutes are sitting back on your heels (1 Rep).

[Regression: Kneeling Spine Waves - 6-8 Reps]

2. SCAPULA PULL UPS (10-15 REPS)

Jump up onto a pull-up bar, lockout your arms and legs, and engage your core. Using only your scapulas, start to lift and lower yourself whilst hanging (like a hanging shrug). Keep your pelvis tucked and feet together slightly out in front of you.

​

3. PLANK > HIP TWIST (6-8 REPS)

Start in a Plank position. Lift and place your right leg down next to your right hip. Twist your body in the direction of that knee (lift your right arm), and sit down. The bent knee should be in front of your chest, with your left arm stabilizing you, and the outside of your right arm pushing your right knee outwards, keeping your spine as straight as possible (shoulders away from ears). Return the leg so that you're back in a Plank position, and repeat on the opposite side.

[Regression: Alternating Sit Throughs - 6-8 Reps]

PRIMARY CIRCUIT:​

[4 ROUNDS - 90 SECONDS REST IN BETWEEN ROUNDS]

1. TURKISH GET UP (3 REPS/SIDE)

Start in the fetal position on your right side with the kettlebell racked in your right hand. Roll onto your back, lift, bend, and place your right leg slightly wider than hip-distance, then reach out your left arm resting on the floor, about 45-degrees. Press the bell overhead on an exhale, engage your core and push yourself up (torso only), with your stabilizing arm still straight, still with the bell above your head, in line with your shoulder. Make sure you keep your eyes on the bell throughout the exercise. Next, bridge your hips, and slide your straight left leg back to a 90-degree angle, still lifting your hips.  Turn your left leg in line with your right (lunge position), and push yourself up to standing. Face straight ahead, with your kettlebell still in the overhead lock-out position. Turn to look at the kettlebell again, and then reverse the whole exercise by stepping back with the same leg, into that lunge position, and then pivoting the leg back to that 90-degree angle, and then straightening it out in front of you (wider than hip-distance), lowering yourself down step by step until you're back in the fetal position. Switch arms and repeat on the opposite side. follow the steps until you get back to your starting position.

[Regression: Bodyweight Get Ups - 6 Reps, alternating]

2. SHINBOX EXTENSION > TRIPOD OVERHEAD REACH (6 REPS)

Sit down with your knees bent up, maintaining a straight spine; drop both knees down (both facing the left), left toes touching and in line with the right knee, whilst trying to keep the same distance as when you had your knees up. From here twist your torso around to the left side also, push up onto your knees (extension) and reach your right arm up and over your head, creating a stretch down your right side. Place your arms back in front of you, lower back into a Shinbox, and switch sides.
