B Strong, Build Stability: At Home Arm & Core Burner

A single set of these babies can get your body from cold & creaky to hot & sweaty... making this the perfect dynamic warm-up to bust out when you don't have much time for a workout. This, prior to any of my "Greatest HIITs" at-home drills, is the perfect quick, no excuses workout!

Here's the step by step breakdown of the series:
- Start in high plank
- Slowly lower through push-up until you're lying on your belly
- Extend arms straight forward, squeeze ankles together & lift to Superman
- Holding Superman, perform 2 lat pullbacks
- Tuck your hands & toes, then push-up to high plank
- Perform 2 Cross Under knee crunches, 1 with each leg
- Start back from the beginning & perform 6-10 total reps

Notes on form:
[Slow Push-up]
- Aim your elbows to point back behind you & pull your shoulders away from your ears as you lower
- Be sure to drive your heels back toward the floor, tighten your quads & squeeze your butt so that your lower 1/2 isn't dead weight to your arms
[Superman + Lat Pullbacks]
- Reach arms directly in front of shoulders, hands no wider than shoulders
- Engage your lats by pulling your shoulders back away from your head & engage your inner thighs by keeping legs completely straight & squeezing your ankles together
- For Lat Pullbacks, pull elbows back as if you were trying to tap them together behind your back, squeezing your shoulder blades toward each other
[Push-up]
- Same notes as above for lowering down
[Cross Under Crunches]
- Suck your "gut" in to "make room" for that knee to travel toward the opposite elbow
- Twist your pelvis so that the hip of your crunching knee stacks underneath the other hip
- When you step your foot back to plank, be sure to square your hips back up so they're side by side again
