Exercises:
Dumbbell Thrusters – Full-body blast! Power through the squat, then explode up with the dumbbells. Focus on squeezing your glutes as you squat down, and remember, form is key throughout the whole move.
Kettlebell Swings – A total-body burn! Hinge at your hips, pushing them back, and make sure most of the power comes from your hamstrings and glutes, not your arms. It’s all about that explosive hip drive!
Renegade Rows – Tone your arms, back, and abs! Keep your core tight and hips parallel to the floor. Think about rowing the dumbbell toward your back pocket, not just pulling it straight up.
Alternating Battle Ropes – Get those arms firing! Keep your back straight, and drop into a squat position to maintain balance and stability while you power through the ropes.
Med Ball Slams – Full-body power! Instead of letting gravity do the work, really throw the ball into the ground with force. Get into it and slam it down with energy.
Russian Twists with Plate – Focus on those abs! Keep a straight back while twisting side-to-side. The more controlled your movement, the better the burn.
