Warm-Up: Before diving into the workout, it's essential to warm up your body. Spend a few minutes performing dynamic stretches such as arm circles, shoulder rolls, and side bends to prepare your muscles and joints for the upcoming movements.
The Workout:
-
Goblet Squats: Begin with goblet squats to target your lower body while keeping the strain off your shoulders. Hold a dumbbell close to your chest, squat down, keeping your chest up and back straight, then return to the starting position.
-
Single Leg Deadlift to Row: Transition into single-leg deadlifts to row, focusing on balance and stability. Hold a dumbbell in one hand, hinge at the hips to lower the weight towards the ground while lifting one leg behind you. As you return to the upright position, perform a row with the dumbbell.
-
Goblet Squats: Revisit goblet squats to further engage your lower body muscles, ensuring proper form and controlled movements.
-
Single Leg Deadlift to Row: Continue with single-leg deadlifts to row, alternating sides to maintain balance and target different muscle groups effectively.
-
Dumbbell Press: Transition to dumbbell presses, focusing on shoulder-friendly movements. Keep your elbows close to your body as you press the weights overhead, engaging your chest and shoulders.
-
Bicycle Crunches: Shift your focus to core strength with bicycle crunches. Lie on your back, lift your legs, and perform a bicycle pedaling motion while touching your elbows to the opposite knee.
-
Dumbbell Press: Return to dumbbell presses to further strengthen your upper body muscles, following Brittany's expert guidance for proper form and technique.
-
Bicycle Crunches: Finish strong with another round of bicycle crunches to engage your core and complete the workout on a high note.
Cooldown: After completing the workout, take a few minutes to cool down your body. Perform static stretches targeting your shoulders, chest, back, and legs to promote flexibility and prevent muscle soreness.
