TRX straps today! These are always great. They let you really focus on your core (all the important stabilizers!) and using your own weight as resistance. It's probably one of the better solutions for gymnastics rings when they're not available. We did two cycles of:
10 reps each side. While holding TRX straps, lean forward with one arm extending and contralateral hip extended (leg straight, toes pointed). Finish a rep by coming back into the center with your back upright.
Side Lunges
12 reps each side. Holding straps, do side lunges while keeping toes parallel and back upright.
Skaters
10 reps each side. Holding straps, do a backwards lunge (feel free to add a little skater flair to full extension of that hip).
Push-ups
10 reps. Facing away from anchor point, focusing on peak contraction at the top to really get those pecs.
Hanging Rows
10 reps. Facing anchor point, pull toward anchor point with both hands.
Tricep Extensions
10 reps. Facing away from anchor point.
Power Pulls
10 reps each side. Facing anchor point, pull toward one hand at a time. Remember, the more parallel you are with the ground the more challenging the move.
Bicep Curls
10 reps each side. Facing perpendicular from anchor point while keeping the arm that isn't curling at 90-degrees from your body (you'll look like a leaning T at full extension).
Plank
30 sec.
10-12 reps each side. Similar to plank sawing, but with two hands and your body is what moves back and forth.
Lateral Swings
30 sec. While in plank position, swing legs in TRX straps together to each side focusing on obliques and going from one side to the next in one continuous motion.
