Do the “Breathe and Squeeze!”

Two things to remember at ALL times when working out: BREATHE and SQUEEZE. Be aware of your breathing pattern and contract the muscle group you’re working while also contracting your core. Keeping your core contracted during an exercise not only promotes optimal muscle use but also helps to protect your back. When exercising, tell yourself “breathe and squeeze, breathe and squeeze!”

Reps Challenge

Round 1:

Each exercise is done for 45 seconds while you count how many reps you complete. Following each exercise, take a moment to record your reps.

Round 2:

The exercises are held as long as possible and timed. Take a brief break between each exercise and record the time you held the position.

  • Forearm Plank (hold as long as you can without compromising your form)
