QUICK FEET
Reps : between each set for 60 seconds  Sets : 2 minute warm up  Intensity : it will get harder and harder! 
Tempo : fast  Rest :  
Preparation :
 
  • Initiate a thorough dynamic warm up prior to starting this exercise, this engages the nervous system.
Movement :
  • Start in athletic stance; knees and elbows slightly bent.
  • This movement involves running in place.
  • As quickly as you can, lift one foot and then the other, maintain a low center of gravity.
  • Land onto toes.
  • TRAINERS: watch that there is not frontal plane shift of the hips and that the center of gravity is BETWEEN both feet which are pointing straight ahead.

Notes : This is a great warm up move for us to get the heart rate up, we will come back to this after each set!
 

AXE CHOP MB X-BODY
Reps : 12 EACH SIDE  Sets : Intensity : getting intense! 
Tempo : keep that heart rate up!  Rest : none 
Preparation :
 
  • Initiate a thorough dynamic warm up prior to starting this exercise, this engages the nervous system.
  • Start with the feet slightly wider than the width of the shoulders, toes turned out slightly
Movement :
  • This movement involves a cross-body chop motion using a medicine ball
  • Start with the knees slightly bent, both hands on the med. ball and arms straight
  • The hands start at head height (as shown)
  • Accelerate the med. ball down and across the body
  • At this point you will bring the med. ball straight up and accelerate it in the opposite direction high to low
  • Repeat pattern back and forth for the desired reps
  • TRAINERS: ensure that as the individual follows through on the chop, that the trail leg (the one that they are accelerating away from) pivots – much like the finish of a golf swing

Notes : Ok do 12 on one side then 12 on the other side. Pick a dumbbell which is heavy, not those pink ones Jason uses! back to quick feet for 60 seconds

 

LATERAL LUNGE AND FLEX (SI JOINT)
Reps : 12 each side  Sets : Intensity : How are you feeling here? 
Tempo : keep up the pace  Rest : NONE 
Preparation :
 
  • Start with small step and a shallow knee flex
  • Keep the movement of the hands above the head subtle
  • Don’t try to control the movement consciously
  • If back pain starts when raising arms, leave them down
  • Minimise trunk rotation
Movement :
  • Step in the frontal plane, allowing the body to react to the ground force, gravity and momentum
  • Raise the hands above the head and subtly, laterally flex the trunk
  • Return to the starting position and alternate
  • Gradually increase the range of movement

Notes : 12 each side, don't cheat and do only one side! Return to quick feet for 60 seconds!
 

DIAGONAL LUNGE W/REACH DOWN
Reps : 12  Sets : Intensity : How are those legs feeling now? 
Tempo : heart rate elevated  Rest : NONE! 
Preparation :
 
  • Start with small step and a shallow knee drop
  • Keep the movement of the hands forward subtle
  • Don’t try to control the movement consciously
Movement :
  • Step in a diagonal direction, allowing the body to react to the ground force, gravity and momentum
  • Reach down toward the knee, letting the trunk flex forward
  • Return to the starting position and alternate
  • Gradually increase the range of movement

Notes : Remember it is 12 each side!! Return to quick feet for 60 seconds!

 

DUMBBELL SKIING
Reps : 20 each arm  Sets : Intensity : Are you still with us?!?! 
Tempo :   Rest : NONE! 
Preparation :
 
  • Maintain good posture (ensure that the visual gaze is straight ahead) and good stability through the abdominal complex
  • Initiate a thorough dynamic warm up prior to starting this exercise, this engages the nervous system.
Movement :
  • This exercise involves a jump step in the sagittal plane with a weight arm cross-country hand movement
  • Start by performing a jump shuffle step (as shown)
  • With light dumbbells in each hand (3-5 lbs is recommended), alternate hand swings to the opposite leg (in other words as the left leg comes forward – the right hand comes forward etc.)
  • Continue exercise in a rhythmical fashion
  • Perform the desired number of reps but NOTE that this exercise causes a lot of fatigue (you may choose a lower rep range to begin)
  • Pay close attention to the video link to observe the fluidity of this motion
     


Notes : Remember to count to 40 doing this, it is 20 each arm! This is a fast one, make the weight HEAVY!!! Return to quick feet for 60 seconds!
 

ROW - DIAGONAL ROW TO SHOULDER PRESS
Reps : 12  Sets : Intensity : Take a breather here if you need it 
Tempo :   Rest : How are you feeling? 
Preparation :
 
  • Maintain tall body alignment and good stability through the abdominal complex
  • Initiate a thorough dynamic warm up prior to starting this exercise, this engages the nervous system.
  • Ensure that the client is proficient at a ‘standing shoulder press’ and ‘bent-over row’ before prescribing this exercise
Movement :
  • This movement involves a dumbbell reach to the opposite toe and a standing shoulder press
  • Start with a ‘toed out’ position and one DB at shoulder height (as shown)
  • Choose a dumbbell that is approx. 40% of a normal standing shoulder press set
  • In a squat and crossover deadlift movement, reach for the opposite foot (as shown)
  • Ensure that the knees are slightly bent, the back is flat, and that the trail foot pivots (as shown)
  • Return to a standing position (facing straight ahead) and perform a dumbbell shoulder press (for description, see ‘shoulder press – standing’ in the exercise library)
  • Perform the desired number of reps but NOTE that this exercise causes a lot of fatigue (you may choose a lower rep range to begin)

Notes : 12 each side people! Ok READY? Quick feet for 60 seconds!!! At the end of the quick feet walk it out for about 30 seconds. Shake those arms and legs and sip some water. Get on the floor for the next move!

 

PRONE RUNNERS
Reps : 20 each leg  Sets : Intensity :  
Tempo : keep that heavy breathing up!  Rest :  
Preparation :
 
  • Maintain a tall posture throughout the exercise and good stability through the abdominal complex.
  • Initiate a thorough dynamic warm up prior to starting this exercise, this engages the nervous system.
     
Movement :
  • This exercise involves holding a straight arm plank (pushup position) while performing alternating hip flexion
  • Start in a straight arm plank position – as shown
  • With a straight body line, step in towards the hands with one foot
  • The hips, knees, and feet should all line up – as shown
  • Simultaneously switch feet position (the forward leg extends back and the extended leg comes forward)
  • The idea is to progress this exercise so that it is done quickly
  • Continue this footwork pattern for the desired amount of reps or time
  • Pay close attention to the video link to observe the dynamics of this movement
  • TRAINERS: if you notice: excessive motion at the lumbar segments, a rounding forward of the shoulders, or external rotation at the hip joint … these are indications of tightness and weakness. Regress the exercise until the weaknesses are addressed.


Notes : Tuck your belly button towards your spine. Count outloud to 40 on this one, one count per leg. Quick feet for 60 AGAIN!! Wow up and down up and down!!!
 

PUSH UP
Reps : Sets : Intensity : crying yet? 
Tempo : focused  Rest : none 
Preparation :
 
  • In a prone position, place hands at a width that will allow the forearms to be perpendicular to the floor when the elbows are flexed at 90 degrees.
  • Come into plank position with elbows extended, make sure the entire body is in a neutral position.
Movement :
  • Flexing at elbows, lower the body, maintaining neutral spine.
  • Push back to starting position.
  • Use desired REP TEMPO.

Notes : Do four push ups, stand up quickly turn around get back down and do 4 more. Repeat this 3 more times! Get up and do ...ok no quick feet here *wink* Walk it off for 30 seconds, get some water.

 

CRUNCH - SUPINE JACKKNIFE
Reps : 20  Sets : Intensity : should be cooling off a bit now 
Tempo :   Rest : rest 30 seconds between sets 
Preparation :
 
  • Position client supine as pictured with arms over head in neutral spine.
Movement :
  • Perform a crunch with hip flexion reaching toward the toes.

Notes : Please take notice we do 2 sets of these! NO more quick feet, I promise.
 

KNEE TO CHEST (2 LEGS)
Reps : 20  Sets : Intensity :  
Tempo : deliberate  Rest : 30 seconds 
Preparation :
 
  • Lie supine on the ground, knees bent to 90 degrees, and place hands on the ground by your side.
  • Activate core with a drawing in and pelvic floor contraction.
Movement :
  • Extend one leg into triple extension (at hip, knee, and ankle) and lift BOTH legs off the ground.
  • Keep your head down and bring extend leg into chest by flexing the hip, knee, and ankle.
  • Bring leg into triple extension again and repeat.
     
Progression Considerations :
  • Extend both legs into triple extension (at hip, knee, and ankle) and lift BOTH legs off the ground.
  • Keep your head down and bring both legs into triple flexion at the same time by flexing the hip, knee, and ankle.
  • Bring legs into triple extension again and repeat.
  • ENSURE that no EXCESSIVE arch in the lower back exists when client extends their legs.

Notes : Let's picture the abs tight and lean and mean!!! Almost done!

 

OVERHEAD REACH - SITTING AGAINST WALL
Reps : Duration : hold for 30 seconds to a minute 
Preparation :
 
  • Sit against a wall with the butt, lumbar spine and shoulder blades in contact with the wall ... the lumbar curve should be VERY slight.
  • Place the bottoms of the feet together (as shown).
  • Ensure a slight drawing in with a pelvic floor contraction to maintain spine angles.
Movement :
  • Start with the arms against the wall so that the shoulders, elbow, and hands are in contact.
  • The elbow joints should be bent at 90 degrees.
  • Trainers: if the client cannot maintain proper spinal alignment when they move their hands into position (ie. their back arches) a flexibility program needs to be initiated to increase external rotation at the humerus.
  • Perform an overhead press action, while maintaining shoulder, elbow, and hand contact with the wall.
  • The higher that the client can extend the arm, the more functional flexibility they have in the lats, chest, and anterior shoulder girdle.
  • ENSURE that the client does NOT arch the back as they raise their arms, and that they maintain a drawing in manoeuvre.

Notes : Sitting up and cooling down. Feel the muscles stretch out and make room for repair now!
 

TRIANGLE POSE
Reps : Duration : hold for 60 counts 
Preparation :
 
  • Start in a standing position.

  • Keep the left foot at a position of 90 degrees to the front foot.
  • Raise the arms to shoulder level with full extension at the elbows.
  • Maintain this position with the arms.
  • Side bend to the right side allowing the right hand to reach toward the floor just to the inside of the right knee. It is NOT imperative that the right hand reach the floor.
  • The stretch should occur in the right hamstring and from the lateral flexion of the spine.
  • Hold this position for 3 to 6 breaths.
  • Repeat the entire movement for the opposite side.

 
Notes : stretch and reach and BREATHE!
