Total Body Workout with Resistance Band
This one can be done from ANYWHERE- just grab a band and find some open space.
Chest press (low)
Alternating chest press
Shoulder press
Squat to press
Single leg RDL into a row
Squat to row
Alternating reverse lunges with row
Tricep Overhead extensions
Chop across
Try 4-5 rounds doing 10-15 reps each.
Banded Booty Moves with Resistance Band
Grab a long stretchy band and try these three glute exercises to add resistance without actual weights:
Romanian deadlift
Sumo Squat
Monster Walks
Do 3x15 each move w/minimal rest.
DB Lower Body Burner
Grab two dumbbells and set a timer for 20 minutes- try this as a density circuit by doing 15 reps of each movement with no rest until the timer is up or add any of these moves into your leg day for a little extra kick!
DB RDL
1/4 DB front squat
SL RDL
Reverse Lunges
X-under lunges
Press Jacks
Abs with BOSU Ball
The BOSU ball, which stands for Both Sides Up" or "Both Sides Utilized, has a flat platform on one side and a rubber dome on the other (resembling half an exercise ball), which can help improve balance and flexibility, and in turn tighten your abs.
Peep some of my favorite exercises to use with the BOSU:
Clamshells w/mini band
Bridges w/mini band
SL bridges w/mini band
DB chest press w/static bridge hold
DB skull crushers w/static bridge hold
Up/down planks
1/2 BOSU burpee
Try doing 3x15-20 reps here or set a timer for 20 minutes and run through each exercise for 15-20 reps until those 20 minutes are up.
Shoulders with Weight Plate
Who doesn’t love a good shoulder pump, right? Well If you want a shoulder stability, strength & balance challenge, grab a couple of weight plates and try these otherwise pretty traditional shoulder exercises:
Military press
Scaption raises
Arnolds
Do 3 sets of 10-15 reps at the end of your upper workout or use this circuit as a warm-up before you get your sweet on.
