Workouts from Achieve Fitness

I'm fortunate enough to work with the awesome coaches over at Achieve Fitness. 

They have gone out of their way to support their members by providing at home workouts which they encouraged me to share with you all.

Below are 3 weeks worth of workouts, 9 workouts total, with a Monday - Wednesday - Friday split. There are multiple options for each type of movement and absolutely everything can be Googled or found on Achieve's YouTube Page. 

Thank you to Lauren, Jason, my coach Ted (@very_good_fitness), and the entire Achieve Fitness Family for making yourselves available during these crazy times. 

Give the below a go during your quarantine and let us know what you think!

 

Week One Day One

Warmup:

Crocodile Breathing x 15 breaths - nice slow, deep breaths in through your nose and out through your mouth.

Prone Neck Nods x 8 - chin to your chest and then up toward the ceiling

Quadruped Rocking x 10 - keep your chest up and rock back to your heels

A1) Sliding Front to Back Lunge

A2) Push Up Variation

3 sets of 10

Kneeling Variation: Make sure hips are fully extended and elbows pointing back at 45 degrees.

On Feet Variation: Focus on keeping a neutral spine throughout the set. If you can do 4 or 5 solid reps on your feet but then your hips start to sag toward the floor, switch to kneeling variation mid-set!

Spiderman Variation: 5 per side. Focus on bringing knee up toward same side elbow without allowing the shoulder of that side to dip into too much internal rotation.

A3) Wall Marching or Hollow Hold

3 sets of 6 per side (wall marching) or 3 sets of 20s holds (hollow hold)

Wall Marching: Keep ribs down and lower back pressed toward the floor. Maintain this position while slowly lowering leg toward the floor. Start by keeping the moving knee bent, but if that feels too easy extend it further out.

Hollow Hold: Choose a variation from the series that challenges you for the duration of the hold but doesn't make you excessively shake or lose form!

B1) Slider Hamstring Curls

3 sets of 8

B2) Prone Overhead Slides

3 sets of 10

3 sets of 10

The greater range of motion, the harder this movement becomes! If the sliding motion feels too challenging switch this to a plank hold.
