WORKOUT ROUTINE: Day One >>
1/ Bentover Row: 5 sets, 5 reps
Hold a barbell at arm’s length with hands shoulder width. Push your hips back and lower your torso until it’s parallel to the floor. bend your knees as necessary. Squeeze your shoulder blades together and row the bar to your belly.
Training Tip:
To avoid injury, don't bob up and down with the torso on your final rep.
2/ Pushup: 4 sets, 10 reps
Keep your core tight so your body remains in a straight line. Lower your chest until it is one inch above the floor.
3/ Kettlebell Squat: 3 sets, 15 reps
Hold kettlebells at shoulder level and stand with your feet shoulder width and toes turned out slightly. Push your hips back as if you were going to sit back into a chair and lower your body as far as you can without losing the arch in your lower back.
