Lifting heavily causes anaerobic energy production. The caloric expenditure that accompanies high-intensity exercise is just one example of a metabolism pushing its limits. The time spent between sets when the body is restoring energy also costs calories. Let’s get to burning!

Breathe while maintaining core activation!

Keeping your chest up, lower yourself into a squat, bending your knees until your thighs are parallel to the ground. As you stand up, push the dumbbells overhead, keeping them in front of your ears
Maintain parallel hips to the floor when in push-up position.
+ Full Workout Description + Watch An ExampleStand with feet shoulder-width apart, arms by your sides. Bend your knees and reach forward to place your hands on the floor. Kick your legs back into a plank position. Immediately jump your legs forward back to start and stand back up.
Remember to breathe and maintain core activation!
+ Full Workout Description + Watch An ExampleBegin with the barbell across the front side of your shoulders. Place your fingertips under the barbell just outside of your shoulders and drive your elbows up. Keeping your chest up and core tight, bend at your hips and knees to lower into a squat until your thighs are parallel to the ground.
Lower yourself from the box with control and knee stability.
+ Full Workout Description + Watch An ExampleStart by placing one foot on top of the box making sure the entire foot is making contact with the surface. Pull your body up through the heel of the foot that is up on the box. Lower your yourself back down to the floor with full control.
Maintain:
flat back
chin tucked
aim to keep front shin vertical
stride length roughly 1-1.5 feet
sit into the working hip
Set up in a split/staggered stance as shown in the video and hold the weight. Soften your front knee just a bit and begin by hinging/pushing your front hip toward the back. Let the weight travel down your front leg until you get a nice stretch in your front hamstring. Get a nice slow negative- 2 or 3 seconds-and make sure to keep your back flat.
