Body Weight Exercises

• Do not let knees pass over front of the toes
• Ideally, knees will stay over ankles
• Keep back straight
• Lower hips down into sitting position until thighs are parallel to the ground (90o flexion of the knee)
• Fully extend the hips until full upright position is achieved
• Keep back straight with Med Ball directly overhead
• Lower hips down into sitting position until thighs are parallel to the ground (90o flexion of theknee)
• Fully extend the hips until a full upright position is achieved
• Use a closed grip to protect shoulders from impingement
• Pull up as high as possible
• In a controlled 2 second count, return to the start position
• If there is any discomfort in the shoulder, stop the exercise
• Keep the back and knees straight, bridge the hips so only heels are touching the ground
• This is a simple push up on a raised surface
• You can change the height of the push up at 90o flexion (Do not go too low)
• Use an elevated surface 8-10 inches high
• On one leg, go down as far as possible while maintaining balance
• Do not let knees pass over the toes
• The back leg reaches out as far as possible at a 45o angle (never touching the ground)
• Return back to a fully upright position
• Start with feet a comfortable distance apart
• Keep the front knee directly over the ankle, lower the back knee about 1 inch from the floor and return to the upright position
• Keep the torso straight and upright at all times
• Keep feet together and knees locked out
• The movement is an anterior displacement of the hips
• Simply push the hips back until there is a good stretch in the hamstrings
• Torso should never go lower than 40o flexion as shown
• Body weight should shift back to heels as the hips move back
• Shoulders stay directly over the bar
• With feet on the top of the ball, bridge the hips...
