Workout Schedule – May

Using dumbbells, perform a wide fly hitting a box shape at the top of every exercise.

Using a bar hooked to the cables, stand away from the cable slightly bent over, keeping back straight not hunched. Pull the bar towards hips, focusing on pulling it with your lats. Make sure to keep your arms straight.

Grab a med ball or a low step and run in place driving your knees up, alternating tapping each foot on top of the ball or step. Keep your core tight throughout the exercise.

Using a barbell do overhand or underhand grip back rows. Focus on pulling with your back each time and don’t let your arms take over.

Starting in a standing position, bend down and touch your hands to the ground. Jump both feet back to push-up position, then jump both feet back in and jump to come up. Repeat this sequence for every rep.

Using the incline T-bar row machine, place both hands on the handles with your belly on the bench. Pull towards your chest, squeezing your back at the top, then return to starting position.

Place two dumbbells under your hands while holding a push up position. Drive one elbow back lifting one arm off the ground while the other arm stays on the ground for support, then drive back down to the ground. Repeat with the other arm. Continue to exercise alternating arms while keeping your core tight and using your back/lats to lift each time.

Using a cable on the highest notch with the rope attachments, kneel down facing away from the cable. Perform a crunch while driving your elbows to your knees. Think of tucking your tailbone under at the bottom of each rep.

While sitting on a bench, place a dumbbell (or no weight for an easier modification) between your feet. Sit back slightly to engage your core and lift your knees up to your chest, then bring them back down to starting position. Keep repeating for the desired number of reps.
