Exercise Instructions:

Kettleball Deadlift
This is performed by starting in a squat, with feet shoulder-width apart, stand over top of the kettleball.  Keep the shoulders squared and behind the knees.  Grasp the handle of the KB with both hands.  Brace the core muscles and stand straight up, exhale through the movement.  Reverse the motion returning to the bottom of the squat, inhaling at the same time.


TRX Pullups
Make sure that the handles have been adjusted to chest height.  Grasp a handle in each hand and walk forward so that the body becomes parallel to the floor with the chest directly below the handles.  Keep your feet together and core braced.  Using the muscles of the back and arms pull chest up until it touches the hands.  Pause for one second and reverse the motion.  Remember to stay tight all the way through the movement.

Agility Hurdles
Lead with the right foot and step over the first hurdle, follow with the left.  Do not step over the next hurdle until both feet have crossed the previous hurdle.  Follow this pattern to the end of the line.  Then turn around and return leading with the left foot.  Focus on going a little faster each time.

Side Plank
Start by lying on the side of the body in a straight line. Place the forearm flat along the ground so that the elbow is directly beneath the shoulder and the hand is straight in front.  Keep the feet together with one on top of the other.  Lift the hips off the ground and hold high enough that the body is in a straight line.  Hold this position for 30 seconds than switch sides and repeat.

Kettleball Snatch
Start in the same position as the KB deadlift but grasp the kettleball with only one hand.  Explode upward, bringing the arm up past the shoulder and extending it straight overhead.  The arm should be fully extend by the time the body is standing straight.

Swiss Ball rollouts
Starting on the knees place the ball in front of the body with both hands on top.  Lean forward on the knees and extend the arms forward, pushing the ball.  Continue until the arms are fully extended and the body is straight from fingers to knees with the core braced.  Hold this position for two seconds, then contract the abs and reverse the motion back to the starting position.

Kettleball one-legged squat
Hold the KB with one hand at the shoulder.  Point the elbow out.  Pick up the opposite foot and point out in front of the body.  Drop into a squat.  Reverse the motion and remain standing on one leg.  Complete all reps on one side then switch.

Hip Thursts
Lie flat on the floor on the back.  Place hands out to the sides of the body.  Keeping the legs straight lift the feet until directly above the hips.  Point toes at the ceiling and lift the hips off the floor.  Lower, keep feet up, and repeat.
