Jump Squats x 10

- Get as much power through your legs as possible.
Sumo Goblet Squats x 10
- Hold the weight up around your chest with your elbows under your hands. Stand with a wide sumo stance, feet way further than shoulder width. Squat down as low as you can and come back up. Repeat.
- Use a controlled tempo of 2 seconds down and 2 seconds up.
Pistol Squats x 6 each (slow)
- Stand on one leg with your other leg up in front of you. Proceed to squat down until you sit on an object like a chair, couch, step, etc. Then, with control, stand back up using that same leg.
- Use a very slow tempo for this exercise. Go as slow as possible.
Goblet Lunge x 8 each
- Hold the weight up around your chest with your elbows under your hands. Step out far with one leg and bring your back leg to the ground or to its full range of motion. Then extend your front leg and stand back with your feet together. Repeat this for all 8 reps and then switch.
- Use a controlled tempo of 2 seconds down and 2 seconds up.
Weighted Glute Bridge x 10

V Ups x 10
- Lay on your back with your arms extended behind your head with your palms face up and legs straight out. Now lift your legs and arms up so that your feet touch your hands at the same time. This will create a crunching movement. Then come back down and repeat.
