connection and really contracting through those muscles. I'm going to use 10 lbs. We're going to start off here with a squat to press, so arms up and let's squat it down. As you come up, press it up towards the sky. Five reps of each here,

02:39

02:53

Speaker A

three total exercises with our weights. Good, last one. Now we're going to do a standing chest fly, so bringing those arms up and then down. Good. Meet them, hold them for a second in the middle, warming up through

03:08

Speaker A

you press up you're going to see some of these exercises are going to build one on top of the other so we're going to be working the same or similar muscle groups set after set so you'll see with the first

03:22

Speaker A

the chest, arms here, a little bit into the shoulders as well. We've got time. One more RDL in row next. So from here, legs out, we're going to hinge it over, hold it at the bottom and row down, row up, squeeze, warming up

03:43

Speaker A

to your body take those as you need last three two and one nice next we're going to go into a lateral squat with an opposite arm press so only one arm is going to be pressing but we're going to

03:57

Speaker A

through all the major muscle groups right now. And then in this workout for the weight, we're going to lift moderately heavy to heavy, so just listen to your body as you're working through this workout because it is going to be

04:10

Speaker A

lateral squat press that arm up back out keep moving in this one back at Center and press so in life sometimes opposite sides of the body are working whether it be upper or lower so you're going to see

04:28

Speaker A

tough. Heart rate's going to be up. We're going to get out of breath a little bit in this one. Again, all about that functional work. One more here. So for myself, I'm going to lift anywhere from probably 10

04:49

Speaker A

arm all the way from low right up to the top here last one there it is 20 seconds switch it over same thing other side breathing 8 seconds bring those arms up so stepping it out for that squat to

05:11

Speaker A

to 20 lbs with the exercises. We have 10, 15, and 20 is what I'll have today. Last one. So grab your weights, get everything you need. Let's do this. First exercise is going to be a squat, so getting into position, dumbbells

05:30

Speaker A

shoulder press [Music] exhale good then we press [Music] again well over halfway keep moving try to keep us continuous Tempo or continuously moving I should say keeping that Tempo nice and [Music] even here it is last three two and one

06:00

Speaker A

up on your shoulders here, head up, chest up, core tight. We're going to drop the bum back, keep the weight in the heels. We go in three, two, 45 on here. We go. Make sure with your squat, exhale as

06:11

Speaker A

ourselves today so we are going into a squat and press so we're going to squat it down come right back up to that press 3 seconds two seconds here we go squat it down and press the one thing I like

06:23

Speaker A

you press up. You're going to see some of these exercises are going to build one on top of the other, so we're going to be working the same or similar muscle groups set after set. So you'll see with the first

06:36

Speaker A

over that's one thing that keeps me going cuz no repeat workouts really are challenging in their own way you think oh it's going to be easy we only get to do one each exercise once wo especially with this structure today

06:54

Speaker A

one, even though we're not doing the same exact exercise, we're really going to be challenging those squat muscles. Almost there. Now in between sets, if you need to grab a drink, dry off, or if you need longer rest periods, make sure to listen

07:13

Speaker A

dumbbell or a kettle bell swing one time through again this is where we're going to get that heart rate up I told you we're going to be working the muscles but we're going to get that heart rate up too so here's one of those

07:24

Speaker A

to your body. Take those as you need. Last three, two, and one. Nice. Next, we're going to go into a lateral squat with an opposite arm press, so only one arm is going to be pressing but we're going to

07:47

Speaker A

posted right before this that one was a power and strength and we did this exercise power comes into play Big Time during that functional training as well because we can use that power in everyday life [Music] and I bring it up because we did the

08:02

Speaker A

keep both dumbbells up on the shoulders. We're going to step it out laterally, come back up to center, then press that arm up for that shoulder press. Stay on the same side because we'll switch for the next set. Here we go. So take it

08:23

Speaker A

we're heading to the wall wall sit front raise we're going to lead up with the thumbs for this one so bring it on down 45 on here we go legs at 90 lift hold it come down back up against the

08:42

Speaker A

lateral squat, press that arm up, back out, keep moving in this one, back at center and press. So in life, sometimes opposite sides of the body are working, whether it be upper or lower, so you're going to see

09:17

Speaker A

two and one let it down nice job we're going to bring it for a kneeling pal off press this is another one dumbbell exercise if kneeling happens to bother your knees please do it standing standing still going to feel it just

09:31

Speaker A

a lot of that incorporated today with unilateral work. A lot of things that are going to incorporate our core as well. Drop that bum low, get that full range for your squat and then all the way up with that

09:48

Speaker A

this one but this is an amazing core move so keep that core tight and that's why we have that variation you can do it standing but kneeling work the core a little bit more because we're taking that lower leg I

10:02

Speaker A

arm, all the way from low right up to the top here. Last one. There it is. 20 seconds. Switch it over, same thing, other side, breathing. Eight seconds. Bring those arms up. So stepping it out for that squat to

10:17

Speaker A

again always listen to your body as we're training and do what works for you last three two and one oh there it is now one dumbbell again we're going to do a single single leg Romanian deadlift if you need to take it into a kickstand you

10:33

Speaker A

the other side, opposite arm press. Here we go. Squat it down low, come up, press all the way up, working with your breath here as you come up from that squat. Exhale and then as you press up with that

10:45

Speaker A

opposite arm hinging it hold it hold it rope squeeze and down this one is very slow we are not concerned with a number of reps right now this is all about your form Focus here feel those HS work

11:01

Speaker A

shoulder press. Exhale. Good. Then we press again. Well over halfway. Keep moving. Try to keep a continuous tempo or continuously moving, I should say, keeping that tempo nice and even. Here it is. Last three, two, and one.

11:29

Speaker A

woo got to dry off right quick all right so opposite hand opposite leg is working again you can keep it in a kickstand just keep that leg down on the ground for a little bit of balance if you need that you might

11:42

Speaker A

Woo! All right, rest it out. Shake it out for a second. We got 15 seconds. We go. This is where, like I said, we're going to be kind of doing similar exercises to really burn out those muscles, challenge

11:52

Speaker A

tough for me row it up squeeze [Music] so not only are we working the larger muscles right now through the back and then through that leg we're also working those smaller stabilizer muscles in the ankles in the feet and around the

12:13

Speaker A

ourselves today. So we are going into a squat and press. So we're going to squat it down, come right back up to that press. Three seconds, two seconds, here we go. Squat it down and press. The one thing I like

12:35

Speaker A

this type of training in every once in a while as well last one nice job all right we're going on to a Sumo Romanian deadlift and a narrow row so with the narrow row you can use two dumbbells and

12:47

Speaker A

to remind you about in a no-repeat workout is you only work each exercise once. So I know about the end of it it is getting tough, but remember it's just that 45 seconds of work and then it's

13:02

Speaker A

close down and back up hinge it again soft knees bum back really feel those H row hold it squeeze bring those dumbbells right up to your your belly and chest there down and up so hamstrings are really getting some

13:23

Speaker A

over. That's one thing that keeps me going because no-repeat workouts really are challenging in their own way. You think, oh, it's going to be easy. We only get to do one each exercise once. Especially with this structure today,

13:43

Speaker A

going to bring it to the mat now we've got Renegade row so lower body sort of going to get a break we're going to take it down for Renegade row you can do that on your knees or your

13:53

Speaker A

very challenging. Almost there. Three, two, one. All right, we're going to need just one dumbbell. If you have a kettlebell nearby and you like using that for kettlebell swings, you can do that. We're going to do a

14:12

Speaker A

stability keep that core tight so squeeze belly button into spine wrap that shoulder blade around squeeze exhale [Music] last one for three two and one all right we're going to keep it down here we have got plank to low Squat and curl so we're

14:49

Speaker A

dumbbell or a kettlebell swing one time through. Again, this is where we're going to get that heart rate up. I told you we're going to be working the muscles but we're going to get that heart rate up too. So here's one of those

15:00

Speaker A

three two get into plank hold it and let's go walk it or hop it up low squat hold it low curl keep it low hold that plank for a [Music] second keep that chest up with that low Squat and curl

15:28

Speaker A

chances. 45 on. Swing it out and let's go. Really power through the hips. Here. Now if you did the workout that I just posted on Tuesday, depending on what day it is, you know workouts are always different, but the workout that was just

16:07

Speaker A

go keeping that arm close to your body here press up get that full extension feel that stretch through the [Music] arm oh my word the arms almost there then we just get to switch sides this side will at least get a

16:40

Speaker A

posted right before this, that one was a power and strength, and we did this exercise. Power comes into play big time during that functional training as well because we can use that power in everyday life. And I bring it up because we did the

17:05

Speaker A

up and down push through the heel of that hand really get that full range full extension feel that arm straighten and [Music] down W this one is tough keep working keep pressing challenging combo with this here last three two and one because

17:50

Speaker A

kettlebell swing. I love this exercise. So good, tough but so good for you. Here it is. Three, two, and one. Rest it out. All right, we're going to grab our weights for a front raise but the challenge with this one

18:04

Speaker A

push-ups because every time we can try to do at least one on our toes and then work it down so here we go push-ups take it down press and squeeze push that floor away core tight legs tight glutes

18:28

Speaker A

we're heading to the wall. Wall sit front raise. We're going to lead up with the thumbs for this one. So bring it on down. 45 on. Here we go. Legs at 90. Lift, hold it, come down, back up against the

19:03

Speaker A

so we're going to work one side to the other so holding that plank and then rotating from side to side let me go this way here we go so starting in that plank and then we're going to rotate it open hold side plank

19:19

Speaker A

wall. Hold it up for a second. Really feel that hold and lower. Almost there. Keep lifting. Try not to hold it in the rest position down too long. All right, last one. So hold it up with me for three. Hold it. It's shake in

19:40

Speaker A

well if you find that being all the way up you can also keep your knees down holding plank that's always an option in plank rotate to other side hold it up for three two one we're going to rotate

19:54

Speaker A

two and one. Let it down. Nice job. We're going to bring it for a kneeling pal off press. This is another one dumbbell exercise. If kneeling happens to bother your knees, please do it standing. Standing still going to feel it. Just

20:11

Speaker A

to match here so bring it on to the mat keep those hips up if you find a two chil and you can keep those hips up work with the hips down and just do chest press we go in

20:21

Speaker A

keep those legs about shoulder width, not too wide down here for kneeling pal off press. Again, about hip shoulder width apart. Clasp the hands and let's go. We press it out, squeeze, squeeze the glutes, squeeze the legs. Now all shoulders are coming in on

20:37

Speaker A

and squeeze don't forget your armpit egg crack it at the top down exhale wrists are straight think about punching through up to the ceiling [Music] here it is three two and one bring it down all right now we've got long lever

21:10

Speaker A

this one but this is an amazing core move. So keep that core tight and that's why we have that variation. You can do it standing but kneeling works the core a little bit more because we're taking that lower leg. I

21:21

Speaker A

longer than that normal glute Bridge stance legs out weight in the heels we're going to do a arms straight up we're going to lift it up long lever glute bridge then do our pullover back up hips down right back up

21:38

Speaker A

need stabilization from that lower leg out so it puts more work into your core. But always remember on exercise, if kneeling bothers your knees, it's not worth doing it that way. Just do it standing. You'll get more out of it. So

21:56

Speaker A

holding those hips up squeezing dropping those arms feeling that through the arms through the chest through the core through the lats then pull back up hold it down last one up and hold pull over this is it we've got three two and one bring

22:14

Speaker A

again, always listen to your b.

22:26

Speaker A

bicep curl so getting arms into half we're going to work one side and then the other so this arm is going to stay neutral we're going to step same foot same arm here we go down and squeeze up this arm stays at

22:40

Speaker A

that half hold just holding that arm at that half curl other arm working that full range down squeeze the bicep exhale [Music] now with your staggered squat make sure that forward leg you're putting all the work into that leg that back leg just

23:06

Speaker A

there for balance support like a little kickstand last one here it is three oh my two one we switch it over so half hold on the other side the stationary side gets to half hold other side's going to be

23:27

Speaker A

24:36

Speaker A
