MOVE 1: Bridge Fly

Lifts and tones the booty, chest and core while working your arms!

Begin in a bridge position, laying on your back, knees bent and arms out to the side with a set of 5-10 lb dumbbells in your hands. Bring your hips up to the sky and hold them there as you perform a chest fly, bringing weights together at chest level. Lower and repeat 15-20 times. Make sure you keep your hips lifted and booty engaged as you finish the set.

MOVE 2: Tricep Push Up & Twist

Tones your chest, triceps, back, biceps and shoulders while strengthening your core!

Start in a high plank position, holding on tightly to a pair of 5-8 lb dumbbells. Perform a tricep modified pushup, lowering your knees to the mat and keeping your elbows hugging your sides as you lower. (If you’re advanced, keep your knees straight as you lower into a traditional tricep pushup.) Come back up into a strong plank position and twist open to the right, creating a ‘T’ shape with your arms. Lower and repeat before twisting to the left. Repeat 10-16 times!

MOVE 3: Inverted BOSU Pushup

Works your chest, shoulders, triceps and lower abs!

Begin in a downward dog position, feet together and hands on the sides of a BOSU Ball. Slowly bend your elbows out, going as far down as you are comfortable. Slowly and controlled, push back up using your shoulders. Repeat 15-20 times.

Beginner: Perform the move with hands on the ground. Advanced: Use a medicine ball in place of the Bosu or flip the bosu over and perform the move with your hands on the flat surface.
