Ankle Weights (Optional)
Yoga Mat
1. Elevator Lunge
Begin with one foot on the floor and one foot on the slider
Press into your heel on the front foot as you send the slider straight back
Sink into a lunge by squeezing your front leg
Move slowly for four seconds down and four seconds back up
Repeat for two minutes
2. Skater
Begin with one foot on the floor and one foot on the slider
Sit into a squat by sending your hips back and maintaining a high chest
Remain in the squat as you send the slider out to the side slowly, for four seconds
Press into the heel of the foot on the floor the entire time
Draw the slider back into the starting position
Remain in the squat and repeat for two minutes
3. “Bungee Kicks” with Ankle Weight
Begin on all fours
Keep a tight core and neutral spine
Bend your knee and kick your heel to the sky, slowly on a four second count
Squeeze your glute and hamstring the entire movement
Slowly move your knee back down to hover over the floor
Repeat for 1-2 minutes
4. Bear
Begin in a plank position with both feet on the sliders
Slowly, on a four second count, draw your knees in until they stop underneath your hips
Keep a flat back and an engaged core
Press your feet back out for four seconds until you are back in a plank
Repeat for one minute
5. Teaser
Begin in a plank position with both feet on the sliders
Slide one foot in front of the other so that your feet are side by side
As slow as you can, squeeze your core to pike your hips up to the sky, keeping your legs straight
You will feel a twist in your body on the same side as your front leg
Slowly lower your body back down
Repeat for one minute
Switch your other foot in front, to work the other side of your body and repeat for one more minute
6. “Mega Leg Lifts” with Ankle Weights
Begin by lying on your back with the ankle weights attached to your legs
Tighten your core so that your lower back “presses” into the ground
Maintain this pressing of your back and keep your legs straight
Slowly, on a four second count, use your core to lift your legs until your feet are straight above your hips
Do not lift your bum off of the floor
Slowly lower your straight legs back down to hover
Repeat for one minute
Trainer Tip: Repeat all of the leg exercises for the left leg and then start at the beginning and repeat them all for the right leg.
