Walk-out to warm-up ???????? Bodyweight walk out variations are one of my favorite ways to warm-up the body and prepare it for movement. It’s a great way to prep your mind and muscles for the work ahead. This #stokedstyle variation: ????hit a nice squat position prior to hinging forward to begin the walk. As a warm up, keep your walk out (and back) slow and controlled ????warm into your lumbar spine with reps of controlled low back extensions ????push the ground away as you perform a triceps push-up from the floor (modify on your knees) ????scap push-ups are of course a great warm-up for your shoulders, but also serve as a modification for triceps push-ups ????drop right into a squat when your hands are (close) to your toes on the walk back ????perform 4-6 reps 3-4 sets Get up and give this a go….it honestly feels amazing as a #movementsnack if you’ve been sitting to long, on your phone/computer too much etc.. ⭐️”Wake Up Get Stoked” on the #KSFAPP is filled with feel good flows like this. Forever one of my favs to connect with your body [LINK IN PROFILE] . . . #thestokedmethod #stoked #workforit #goals #bodyweight #flow #noexcuses #inspiration #motivation #move #instafit #alwayscreating #instagood #strength #fitover40

FULL BODY FIRE UP ???? Try this bodyweight strength workout for a fun new challenge using some of my fav drills to stay strong at home! Do 3 rounds based off the below rep count: 1. Lateral to reverse lunge – 10 reps each leg (1 Lateral + 1 reverse = 1 rep. I like wearing socks so I really have to focus on my weight distribution and stability in my feet!) 2. Bear Hold to Tricep Pushup + shoulder taps – 10 reps (lower to knees for pushup if you need!) 3. Plié Front Squat – 10 reps. Place a book under your heels, squeeze heels together toes apart. Knees must track wide as you lower down. 4. Single Leg Sock Hamstring Curl – 10 reps each leg ???????? 5. Rotating Sock Climber – 10 reps (knees to each elbow = 1 rep) Rest 60 seconds and repeat! Let’s gooooo ⚡️✨???? @pyrogirls @niketraining #youcantstopus #pyrotings
