Trina’s Trainer 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 limit
  • 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
  • Schedule your workouts as an appointment in your calendar, read How to Do this here
  • Rest days are important and stretching is a must

Workout Instructions

#1 Lunge Curtsy AB Twist x 10 total

  • Start from standing position
  • Step your right leg behind you rotating your arms toward the leg in front of you, pause and return back to standing
  • Repeat on the other leg
  • The straighter the arms, the more difficult the move
  • Trina’s Tidbits: Keep the chest tall, ABS tight, shoulders back and down
  • Knee should be in line with the ankle so you can see your toes
  • Regression: Use just body weight and don’t lungr back as far
  • Progression: Add a dumbbell to make it harder and lunge back a bit further
