No-equipment “hands up” workout
This workout can help strengthen your spinal muscles while working on your balance using your core, glutes and legs. And maintaining your arms up during the whole workout will make your shoulders burn. Take your time to perform each exercise in a slow controlled motion.

  • 20 squats
  • 20 alternative backward lunges
  • 20 walking lunges (or alternative forward lunges if you don’t have enough space available)
  • 20 bird dogs
  • 10 warrior III yoga poses on right leg
  • 10 warrior III yoga poses on left leg
  • 10 get down & up starting with right leg (stay in a squat position when you’re up, make those legs burn!)
  • 10 get down & up starting with left leg

It will take you around 25 minutes to perform this circuit 3 times. Keep your abs engaged to protect your lower back!

For more information and ideas to warm up and stretch before and after this workout, please check out the whole post on my Wordpress-blog: www.fitnesstreats.com/2012/04/hands-up-workout

Doing this tonight!

fitvillains: Sandbag Elevated Hip Bridge A tough modification to hit your boot-eh! It’s even tough without the sandbag (you can use anything as extra resistance really: no sandbag needed! Just make sure it can sit on your lap without falling).  If you’re feeling really bad ass, add a mini-tricep dip at the top, bending your elbows just slightly.  Tips - Press through the heels, and tuck your hips under your pelvis to engage your glutes.  - Hands directly under your shoulders: adjust for comfort.  - No need to lift high: even a mini-lift is enough.  - If you experience discomfort, strain or pain? Stop. This move is not for everyone. Try an easier modification if needed (including from the floor). See other modifications & instructions here

Sandbag Elevated Hip Bridge

A tough modification to hit your boot-eh! It’s even tough without the sandbag (you can use anything as extra resistance really: no sandbag needed! Just make sure it can sit on your lap without falling). 

If you’re feeling really bad ass, add a mini-tricep dip at the top, bending your elbows just slightly. 

Tips

- Press through the heels, and tuck your hips under your pelvis to engage your glutes. 

- Hands directly under your shoulders: adjust for comfort. 

- No need to lift high: even a mini-lift is enough. 

- If you experience discomfort, strain or pain? Stop. This move is not for everyone. Try an easier modification if needed (including from the floor).
