Mountain Climber Push Ups are a classic; like Kraft Mac n Cheese πŸ§€ ⁣
⁣
As usual though, I like to put a little stability spin on things to make it more beneficial.⁣
⁣
Adding a 1-2 second pause to this move will challenge your shoulders and core much more than if you just fly through your set.⁣
⁣
Also, as you press up,  price I’m simultaneously driving a knee to my chest...this is done purposely for even more core stability.⁣
⁣
Shoot for sets of 12-15 per set πŸ’ͺ🏽⁣

⁣
This is one of the moves from my At-Home Athlete program I released a couple weeks ago.⁣
⁣
We’ve all seen jumping lunges before and most likely done them but I like to add a 1-2 second hard pause at the bottom of each jump.⁣
⁣

Most times, training programs and coaches teach you to go fast or speed up and that’s it; acceleration.⁣
⁣
But what often gets forgotten and equally important, is teaching you how to slow down; deceleration.⁣
⁣
As an athlete, you’ve got to be able to do both and by adding in the hard pause, we can build that skill.⁣

⁣
If you want to be able to get your handstand, you need to do this move more often.⁣
⁣
Not only are we focusing on strength & stability through shoulders, but that tiny little foot lift works every single core muscle that will help stabilize you upside down.⁣
⁣
It looks so simple right? Wrong πŸ˜‚β£

Shoot for sets of 12-15 and alternate reps on each leg. ⁣

I get a lot of messages about beginner stability moves and while my feed is full of them, here is one of those building blocks for you to start with.⁣
⁣
In fact, I still think it’s important for elite athletes to be doing this as well because fundamentals should always be at the foundation. ⁣
⁣
The idea is to quickly drive the knee towards your chest as you come up from the deadlift position and then PAUSE in stability for a full 1-2 seconds.⁣
⁣
Shoot for sets of 8-10 per leg.⁣

⁣
This is a cool movement that I learned from an early mentor that combines hip flexion (on the tennis ball side) and hip extension (on the other).⁣
⁣
The secret to lasting mobility is doing more movements that include these β€œcombined” patterns. ⁣
⁣
I also like adding in the pause rep so that we just more time under tension through the core as well. ⁣
⁣
The reason I use a tennis ball is to keep that hip flexion in check; if the ball falls onto the floor, I’m not keeping my knee tucked enough...dig it?⁣

Save this postβ€”Gyms should be reopening soon.

I love combining moves...and this one is just so fun to do.

It’s a blend of the overhead snatch and and vertical split jump and can even be done at home without having to use the boxes.

There are very few times when we ever load the shoulders enough to support our own bodyweight; especially while inverted.⁣
⁣
That’s what makes handstands so hard πŸ€ΈπŸ½β€β™‚οΈπŸ€ΈπŸΌπŸ€Έβ€β™€οΈβ£
⁣
If you’ve always wanted to be able to do one, this will be a great exercise to build that static strength and stability.⁣
⁣
Definitely watch the cues on this one because there’s a few subtleties is like you to focus on.⁣
