Trainer Trina’s Tips
- Consult your physician before you start any new exercise program
- Always warm up first for 5-10 minutes, dynamic stretches and foam roll if possible *goal is to increase the heart rate, warm up the body and muscles and reduce the risk of injury
- Preform each rep with good form, technique, full range of motion and work within your limits
- Rest when needed
- Take it at your own pace, start slow if you are new to fitness
- Listen to your body
- Never work through pain, progression is the goal
- Never sacrifice form for speed
- Cool Down: 5-10 min – Always stretch and foam roll, gentle tension no pain

Workout Instructions
Move #1: Lateral Squats High or Low Impact x 30 seconds
- Start standing with your feet together
- Lean forward at the hips, keep the ABS tight to support the back
- Drop and drive through the heels on the way down, squeeze the glutes on the way up
- Arms bent, hands up *use them to propel you for power
- Step your right foot out to the side and squat down
- Push off with your right foot back to center and repeat on the left side
- Add a little hop in the middle to increase your heart rate
- Trina’s Tip: Keep your spine tall
- Regression: Don’t step as wide or squat at deep
- Progression: Add a high impact leap to the side or light dumbbells
- Muscles Targeted: Core muscles – quadriceps, glutes, hamstrings, hip flexors and abdominals and your cardiovascular system of course!
How to Do Lateral Squats
Move #2: Rear Shoulder Flies x 30 seconds
- Start in a standing position or sit on a bench or chair
- Use just your arms or light weight dumbbells
- Looking forward in front of you, feet shoulder width apart, arms at your side
- Bend forward at the waist keeping the back straight and spine neutral
- Slowly raise your arms to the side, palms down, squeeze the shoulders back and down
- Long spine, ABS tight, lots of tension on the glutes to support your back
- Trina’s Tip: Keep the weight fairly light, shoulders away from the ears, exhale when lifting the arms, gaze down, avoid moving the torso
- Regression: One arm at a time and body weight only *the more bent your arms, the easier the move
- Progression: Add light dumbbells or a resistance band * the straighter the arms, the harder the move
- Muscles Targeted: Posterior deltoid (back of shoulders), core, back muscles / stabilizers, glutes, hips and deep abdominals
- Note: Shoulders aren’t meant to be heavily loaded, use light weight
How to Do Rear Shoulder Flies
Move #3: Back Kicks or Glute Kickback
- Start in a standing position feet shoulder width apart hands up in “guard position”
- Stand on the right foot, find your balance and gently lift the left leg off the floor
- Once you have your balance, lift the knee up, bend slightly at the hips then kick and drive the back heel towards the back *imagine kicking the shin of a person behind you
- Slowly progress to kicking a little higher *make sure your muscles are warm
- Rechamber the knee in and come back to the starting position and alternate sides
- 4 parts to a kick: Up, kick out, in and back
- Hands up in the fighter “guard position”
- Trina’s Tip: Hold on to something secure if you struggle with balance
- Regression: Kick at a lower level and hold on to the wall
- Progression: Keep your hands up, kick a little higher and hold light dumbbells in your fighter arm “guard position”
- Muscles Targeted: ABS, posterior chain, all of the back muscles, glute muscles, arms if you keep them up in “guard position”
