1
BULGARIAN SPLIT SQUAT
Targets: glute, hamstring, quad & balance Modification: take back leg off the step and place on the ground.
2
INCLINE PUSH-UP
Placing the hands on the incline protects your shoulder joint during push-ups. If you're working on push-ups this is a great place to build strength!
3
DECLINE PUSH-UP
Targets: core & chest Placing the hands on the floor vs on the step makes this movement harder. You have to squeeze the core and glutes for balance and support!
4
ALTERNATING REVERSE LUNGES
Modification - if this is too much on the knees, you can do this from the ground and work on regular lunges. The step adds an element of balance for the core!
5
GLUTEBRIDGE
Targets: glutes, hamstrings, core, & back This is a great modification for those of you who do not enjoy squats. Low impact!
6
RENEGADE ROW + WALK THE PLANK
Targets: back, core, shoulders & chest This is an advanced move. From the rowing (back exercise) to walking the plank a lot of muscle groups are firing!
7
BICEP CURL + UP UP DOWN DOWN
Targets: biceps, core and cardio Adding a small element of cardio by walking up and down the steps while performing a bicep curl!
