No-equipment “hands up” workout This workout can help strengthen your spinal muscles while working on your balance using your core, glutes and legs. And maintaining your arms up during the whole workout will make your shoulders burn. Take your time to perform each exercise in a slow controlled motion.
20 squats
20 alternative backward lunges
20 walking lunges (or alternative forward lunges if you don’t have enough space available)
20 bird dogs
10 warrior III yoga poses on right leg
10 warrior III yoga poses on left leg
10 get down & up starting with right leg (stay in a squat position when you’re up, make those legs burn!)
10 get down & up starting with left leg
It will take you around 25 minutes to perform this circuit 3 times. Keep your abs engaged to protect your lower back!
