CREATE YOUR CIRCUIT
(Pick & Choose to make your own Circuit):

Russian Twists with or without weights
Russian Twists alternating from sitting to kneeling with battle ropes
Focus on WIDE & HIGH arches
Leg Raises
No momentum should be used
Plank w/ Band & Reach Forward
Keep band attachment behind you allowing the band length to be parallel to your body
Once in plank position, grab the other end of the band and reach out forward continuously
Equal minutes per side
*My suggestions:
Don't ego lift, start with a weight equal to your strength and experience level.
AVOID if you experience pain in your joints
