Watch the video tutorials provided below the workout. Practice each movement, with proper bracing, breathing and engagement of your core. Take your time and focus on the positioning and feel for each. Practice moving well. Be sure to use the appropriate weight, resistance and intensity so that you are fatiguing within the recommended repetitions and durations without compromising form.

Option 1: Complete as a circuit by moving from one exercise immediately to the next with 2-5 minute rest between rounds. Massage, active stretch and correctives are done at this time, as needed.

Option 2: Spread exercises / rounds throughout the day by completing some in the morning, midday, afternoon, etc.
