  • Squat step: Feet shoulder distance apart, squat as low as possible and step left to right, chest lifted up and staying low the whole time
  • Squat step w/ resistance band: Place circular band around ankles
  • Push up on knees: Hands just slight out farther than shoulders, elbows pointing back but slightly out, core tight, back straight, booty tucked in, on knees but toes tucked under to prevent sliding
  • Push up: Same as push up on your knees, just putting all your weight on your toes, body completely straight like a board
  • Superman: Lay on belly, arms stretched out front, lift chest, arms, and legs off floor, squeezing back and then relax to the floor, then repeat
  • Tricep dip: (can use step, ledge or stable couch) Hands on step, booty off of step, elbows pointing back and pulled together, legs slight bent at the knee, bend elbows lowering booty to the floor and then rise up
  • Plank: Just like straight body form of push up but on your fore arms instead on bands, body tight and flat and hold
  • Mountain climber: Body in plank form but alternate stepping foot forward bringing knee close to chest, making sure to keep your booty low and back straight
  • Butt Kick: Standing position, alternating heal to butt touches, this can be as fast as you want

It is important to listen to your body and make sure you are getting enough protein so your body can heal and get stronger!
