Alright, guys, let’s get started. So this is the workout for today.

Squat Lunges

Squat Lunges

We have squat lunges, set a timer to 30 seconds. When you’re performing a squat, you want the weight to be on your heels, you want your chest up, back straight. You want to make sure that your legs reach at least a 90-degree angle. You can always go lower. And with lunges, you want to make sure to try to keep your shins and legs straight; and you don’t want your knees going past your toes. And like I said with squats, you want to go to at least 90 degrees with your forward leg. Alright, let’s get started. You’ve got 30 seconds. So, after each exercise, we take a 15-second rest; but if you’re feeling good, you can always push yourself and cut that rest time.

Alright, we’re going to use this box over here. We have 10 each leg.  That’s a good one. The thing I like about that exercise is it helps build balance as well as strength in each leg.

Crab Walks

Next, we have crab walks. That may be an exercise that a lotta people aren’t familiar with, but it’s a good thing. Alright, with this one, we’re going to walk 20 feet. You want to stay low; you want to try to stay at that 90-degree angle the whole time. Let’s go for it. Ninety degrees, stay low. Remember, you always want to push yourself, but if you need to take a break, stop for a second, catch your breath, and then get right back into it. Almost done. These exercises just keep getting harder and harder. Let’s see what we got next.

Calf Raises

Calf Raises

We got calf raises, 15 each leg. With this exercise, you can use a bar or even a wall for resistance. You want to go all the way up, both our feet really flex that calf, back down. So with those, when you get to the peak of the movement, you want to make sure to squeeze and flex that calf really tight and have a slight hold at the top. Alright.

Wall Sits

Wall Sits

Last but not least, we have wall sits for 45 seconds. As you easily can hold it, keep in’ this back straight, keep in’ the legs at 90 degrees, and we’re going to do 10. Alright, let’s get ready to do it. Legs at 90 degrees, back straight, 45 seconds. If you’re not able to hold this for the full 45 seconds, you can always rest your hands on your legs for a little assistance. But try to really push through and not use that. If this exercise is too easy for you, you can actually get up on your tippy-toes, and you’ll get lots more. Alright, guys, that’s it for round one. You’ve got two more rounds. Don’t forget, after you complete that workout, and Mark it as Completed at the bottom.
