Reference Guide

Leg Press “Heel Presses” w/ Shoulder Press – Make your way to the leg press machine and use the lever underneath the left handle to lower the seat to proper height once you’re seated (90 degree angle is the goal if able) and get dumbbells ready to use once in position. Place your feet at the top of the platform shoulder width apart and toes hanging off the top so that you are doing this leg press with only your heels (engages your glutes to the extreme!). Once your legs are extended, press the dumbbells all the way up overhead. In a fluid motion bring them down THEN lower your legs before repeating!

BOSU Squats w/ Simultaneous Front Raise – Grab a BOSU and a pair of dumbbells of your choice. Place the BOSU black side down and step onto the blue side of the BOSU with your feet all the way together. You’re going to squat as low as you can (keep your knees together!) while raising your dumbbells up to forehead height at the same time. As you get back to upright is when you will lower the dumbbells before repeating!

BOSU Stiff Legged Deadlifts – Grab a BOSU and a pair of dumbbells of your choice. Place the BOSU blue side down and stand on the black side on one leg (whichever you choose… you’ll be doing both). Once upright and ready use the dumbbells to stretch your body download while raising the leg not anchored to the BOSU as high as you can while keeping it fully extended. Bring your leg back down as you stand back to upright! Do all your reps on one side before switching to the other.

Side Plank Shoulder Presses – Grab a dumbbell and mat and place the mat where you are going to lower your hip after doing this exercise. You can do this exercise either straight arm or on your forearm (only straight arm is shown). Pick which arm you are going to plank on first and place it on the ground while moving your feet into a wide stance split position. Raise your hips as high as you can and hold them there as you grab your dumbbell with your free hand and press it towards the ceiling. Complete all the allotted reps before switching to the other side!

Lower Back Extension – Everyone has a different leg length so it’s important to know what adjustment to make before you begin on this one. Move the thigh pads up or down to the point where you can get in position as shown and when you bend at the waist you are supported all the way up to your waist/belly area but there is NO impingement as you go down. Once you have the pad adjusted, place your fingertips gently behind your head with your elbows pointed towards the ground in the bent position. As you raise your body to the point of making a straight line from your heel, to hip, to shoulder (no need to go higher!) flare your elbows all the way out to maximize the squeeze through the entirety of your back. Control yourself back down and repeat!

BOSU Splitters – Place a BOSU blue side down on the ground and hold it in a push-up position with your legs in a wide stance split. Take one leg and stretch it as far forward as you can with the goal of getting as much distance between your front foot and back foot as possible. Bring it back to the start position and repeat on the other side! Get as much of a stretch as you can!

Sideways Leg Transfers – You’ll need an open space for this one. Simply start on one leg and try to touch your toe with the opposite arm. While staying on one leg jump sideways to the other leg and do the same thing in one fluid motion. You want to be able to find a rhythm while staying on one leg the entire time. Keep this in mind when you try to touch your toe. It’s ok if you don’t go all the way down as long as you keep moving!
