In week 2 of 8 we continue building a strong connection between the pelvis and ribcage.
The focus remains on building further positional awareness and isometric strength, while layering more dynamic movements on top of this foundation.
We continue to explore this in our split squats, single arm press, side planks, hip thrusters as well as wall pogos and lateral hops.
Expect to get some solid work done for your obliques, hamstrings and glutes.
We further address the respective needs of the left and right side of the body, adjusting many of the exercises to give each side more of what it needs most.
Equipment:
-Book large enough to fit both feet
-Some wall space
-2 medium dumbbells
-Small ball or roll of toilet paper
-A chair/table or a high elevated surface
-A sofa/bench or a low elevated surface
-Optional: supportive shoes
