For this exercise, you want to make sure you are really hinging at the hips.
After you squat down to tap the floor, you will thrust forward as you hinge at the hips, while extending your body and throwing your arms over the top of your head.
Once you extend your arms over your head, think about doing the touchdown sign.
This will help increase the strength of your shoulders as well.
The hinging of the hips is where all the momentum comes from.
The hip hinge is a similar movement to a kettlebell swing, without the kettlebell.
When you’re lowering down to tap the floor, make sure you keep your back flat.
In the video, I called this the push up cross tap.
Reps: 30 seconds
Sets: 1
Tempo: 1011
Rest: 30 seconds
Coaching cues:
If you’ve never tried this exercise before, you’re going to love it.
Get down on the floor in the push up position.
After completing a push up, you will reach under and through your body to tap the floor behind your opposite planted hand.
You’ll complete another push up, then alternate by tapping the floor with the other hand.
When you’re balancing on one arm during the floor tap, it will create instability, so make sure you keep your core and abs tight, to eliminate any swaying of the hips.
Make sure you keep your your hips flat and straight with the ground.
This is a similar movement to the water bottle forearm plank tap that I’ve shown before.
In the video, I called this the bent over pop lateral raise.
Reps: 30 seconds
Sets: 1
Tempo: 10X0
Rest: 30 seconds
Coaching cues:
Once again, I bet you have not seen this one before.
You will need to have coordination to successfully complete this exercise.
Spread your legs wider than hip width, then bend over while maintaining a flat back.
Extend your arms down towards the floor, with your thumbs pointing out to the sides, since this will help create more tension in the back of your shoulders.
Raise your extended arms out to the sides, as you quickly pop your feet to bring your legs together.
Then immediately pop your feet back out again, as you lower your extended arms back down.
As you complete the rear delt raise, make sure you keep as much tension in the back of your shoulders, by squeezing your shoulder blades together.
When you pop up from the jump, try to make sure you are still bending forward with a straight flat back.
Focus on keeping your abs tight, while maintaining the tension on the back of your shoulders.
Once again, we’re putting together a few different movements into one exercise.
Get down in a push up position, and screw your hands into the floor, with a firm stomach and flat back.
Tense your abs tight to keep your hips parallel to the floor, then bend one elbow and row it up, and extend your elbow to move your arms back to complete the tricep kickback.
Make sure you are squeezing your back and triceps to create the tension during this bodyweight exercise.
Place your hand back on the floor, then switch arms and repeat.
If this exercise is too difficult, follow the beginner exercise modification listed below.
This is another excellent lower body exercise that also includes core strength.
Lunge forward, then rotate your extended arms to one side, while keeping your abs tight.
Reverse the movement back to standing, then complete with the other side.
Pretend like you have a medicine ball or a weight in your hands.
To keep your balance during the rotation, remember to focus on feeling the contraction in your core muscles.
This exercise requires you to contract pretty much every single muscle in your body, including your hamstrings, glutes, quadriceps, core, and every other muscle all the way up your body.
