CLICK HERE for a FREE Workout!! www.turbulencetraining.com Here is a great bodyweight warm up to start out a workout. You’ll find that this warm-up as a couple more exercises than you may be familiar with in a warm-up, but the goal is to have you better prepared for your actual workout. So to start out, you’ll begin with a Y-Squat. Place your feet shoulder-width apart and your hands up in the Y position. Next, push your hips out, squat down, and then drive up and repeat. Be sure to keep your hands back throughout this exercise. Next is the Push up exercise or Kneeling Push ups if you’re a beginner. From there, you will go against the wall and do the Stick-up exercise. So with your hips, elbows, wrists, shoulders, and head against the wall, lift your shoulders up over head and then back down. This is a great exercise to warm up your upper back and increase your shoulder mobility. Next, is the Mountain Climber exercise. From a push up position, bring one knee up to your chest and back out, alternating sides. Keep your hips low and brace your abs. After that exercise you will follow with the Forward Lunge exercise. Take a step out,drop your hips straight down, and drive up with that lead leg. Alternate sides. Once you have done all reps for the lunge, immediately go into the Waiter’s Bow exercise. This movement is very similar to the Romanian Deadlift or a Goodmorning exercise. So, grab a skin fold from your low back with one hand and place the other across your chest. Next …

CLICK HERE for a FREE WORKOUT!! www.turbulencetraining.com You will start this workout with a warm up of 3 exercises. The first exercise is a Prisoner Squat. With your feet shoulder width apart, keep your elbows back (your elbows always have to be back for this exercise to be effective) and hips back. Squat down and up. Beginners can do a simple bodyweight squat with your arms straight out in front of you. Do these for 10 Reps. The next warm up exercises are pushups, however, if you are a beginner, do kneeling pushups. The last warm up is a stick up against the wall (shoulder blades together and up against a wall) or inverted rows with a bar. You can also use a rear deltoid raise to warm up the upper back and increase shoulder mobility. Go through this warmup circuit 2 times with 8-15 reps depending on your fitness level. If you are a beginner, do 8 reps or even 5; whatever warms you up, but not too much. Now we’ll move right into the supersets. I havent used these exercises in any TT workouts before this, but they are all variations of exercises I do use. Superset 1 The first exercise in this superset is an Alternating 1-arm dumbbell press. You will not be able to use as much weight as you do for your 2 arm presses. Lie on the bench and press both arms straight up. Hold one arm at the top as you bring the working arm down. Do 6 reps per side. Move immediately into a Deep Step-Up . With regular step ups, you are close to the bench and drive straight up, but with these you …

CLICK HERE for a FREE Workout www.turbulencetraining.com This 3-exercise bodyweight circuit will serve as a warm-up to the main workout. So, starting out you will do the Touchdown Forward Lunge. For this, you will raise your arms straight up overhead as though signalling a touchdown. Next, lunge forward, getting a good stretch as you come down and then use your lead foot to drive back up. Alternate sides. By placing your hands overhead it will help open up your chest while also bringing your shoulder blades together. Next up in this bodyweight warm-up is the Close-Grip Pushup exercise. With hands shoulder-width apart and tuckingyour elbows into your sides perform a pushup. If you can’t do regular close-grip pushups, then you can just do them from the kneeling position. The last exercise to do is the Waiter’s Bow. You’ll find that this exercise really stretches your hamstrings and gets you ready for the Romanian Deadlift exercise. If you’re not comfortable with the RDL exercise, then this at least gives you a chance to practice the movement. So, for this exercise, bend your knees slightly, grab the skin fold of your low back and place your other arm across your chest. From here, you will bend forward as though you are bowing to the table. So, push your hips back and keep your back flat. You will find that the skin fold tries to get away from you and that will be as far as you go before squeezing your glutes to return to the start position. That’s it for all the exercises …
