Knee hug
Quad stretch
Single leg RDL
Frankensteins
Open the gates
Close the gates
Lunge and reach
Heel/toe stretch
Arm circles

CORE
3 sets of deadbugs:
12 left leg only
12 right leg only
12 arms only (both)
12 left arm + right leg
12 right arm + left leg

*Rest 60-90s between rounds

CONDITIONING
25:00 AMRAP
20 backpack floor press (or DBs/KBs if you have them)
20 burpees
20 hand-release push-ups
20 burpees

ACCESSORY
3 sets
10/10 backpack side raises

*10 on left then 10 on right arm = one set. Rest 60-90 seconds between sets. Try not to shrug your shoulder up to your ears when performing the lateral raise—this is effectively “cheating” your shoulder because your trapezius (upper back) starts helping to lift the backpack. For this exercise, we only want to work the shoulder, not the back.
