Your The Best!

No matter what others say or think about you, your goal is not to prove them wrong but to prove yourself right! Your the best no matter what! you must believe that in order to truly become the best person you can be in all aspects of life. Good or bad things can only happen one of two ways, either you allow them to happen or you make them happen. With that being said, never allow someone to tell you who you are and how you look; look how you want and be who you are just understand that you made it that way!
Monday
Exercise 1: Tempo Wall Slide
  • Stand with your head, upper back, and butt touching a wall.
  • Raise your arms so that the back of your hands touch the wall. Bend your elbows 90 degrees with your upper arms parallel to the ground.
  • Pull your shoulders down and back as you slide your elbows up the wall as far as you can. Then slide your elbows down the wall as far as you can.
  • Keep your butt, upper back, head, hands, and elbows in contact with the wall throughout the movement.
  • Perform the move at a tempo of 3 seconds up, 3 seconds down.
Make it harder: Push your arms, hands, and elbows against the wall as hard as you can.
Exercise 2: Six-Stop Wall Sit
  • Lean against a wall with your feet 2 feet away from it at shoulder width.
  • Slowly lower your bottom and bend your knees. Keep your head, back, and tailbone in contact with the wall. Keep your knees in line with your ankles.
  • Pause six times as you lower down a few inches at a time. Hold each pause for 10 seconds.
  • At the bottom position, your thighs should be parallel to the floor.
Make it harder: Don’t just hold each position, but push your feet down harder into the floor to create more tension in your thighs. Vary your stance during each workout—either wider or narrower than shoulder-width.
Exercise 3: Pushup Hold with Feet Up Against Wall
  • Assume a pushup position with your feet fully planted against a wall.
  • Place your hands slightly in front of your forehead for maximum leverage.
  • Drive your heels into the wall. Bring your shoulders down and back, brace your core, and squeeze your glutes.
Make it harder: Assume the same position as above, but place your feet about a foot up on a wall. Without moving your body, drive your heels into the wall.
Make it even harder: From the pushup position with feet up against a wall, do a mountain climber. Here’s how: In a controlled movement, bring one knee forward. Push the opposite foot against the wall to hold your form steady, but don’t let your lower back move up or down. Repeat with the opposite leg.
Finisher: 20-10 Cardio/Core Supersets
Perform 20 seconds of max effort stationary running (cardio exercise) followed by 10 seconds of rest.

Tuesday
Exercise 1: T-Pushup Against Wall
  • Get into a pushup position, your body parallel to and a couple inches away from a wall.
  • Rotate the back of your torso towards the wall, raising your opposite hand into the air.
  • With your arm straight, press the back of your hand against the wall and hold for 4 seconds.
  • Return to the starting position, and repeat.
  • When you complete the cycle again, perform the exercise on your opposite side.
Make it harder: Perform a full range of motion of pushup before every T-rotation.
Make it even harder: In the T position, raise your top leg.

Exercise 2: Left-Leg Split Squat

  • Assume a split stance position with your front knee and ankle aligned.
  • Keep your torso straight. Put your weight on the heel of your lead leg throughout the movement.
  • Slowly lower your body until your front thigh is parallel to the ground. Your knee should form a 90-degree angle.
  • Rise up to the starting position.
Make it harder: Perform the same move, only with your rear leg propped up on a chair (called a Rear Foot Elevated Split Squat).
Make it even harder: In the Rear Foot Elevated Split Squat position, lower your hips and torso until your front thigh is parallel to the floor. Come back up halfway, go back down to parallel, and then come all the way back up.
Exercise 3: Right-Leg Split Squat
  • Repeat the same movement as above, only with the opposite foot in front.
Finisher: 20-10 Cardio/Core Supersets
Perform 20 seconds of max effort seal jacks (cardio exercise), where you clap your hands in front of you instead of overhead. Follow with 10 seconds of rest. Then perform 20 seconds of push-up jacks (core exercise), where you jump your feet in and out while holding a push-up position. Follow with 10 second of rest. Repeat for 4 minutes total.

Wednesday
Exercise 1: Chair Shrug
  • Sit upright in a chair with your feet flat on the floor at hip-width. Place your hands flat on the seat next to your hips, your arms straight.
  • Supporting yourself with your arms, scoot your butt off the chair.
  • Allow your shoulder and back muscles to relax so your butt lowers a few inches.
  • Press your shoulders down to lift your upper body as high as possible and hold for 5 seconds at the top position. Then relax your shoulders again. That’s one rep.
Make it harder: Do the same move but with your feet together.
Make it even harder: Raise one leg throughout the duration of the movement.
Exercise 2: Pike Pushup
  • Get down on all fours. Place your hands under your shoulders. Your feet should be shoulder-width apart, your knees bent at 90 degrees.
  • Raise your butt in the air so that your hips are aligned with your head.
  • Keeping that piked position, bend your arms and lower your head to the ground in 2 seconds. Keep your elbows tucked tight to your sides.
  • Push your arms straight in 2 seconds. That’s one rep.
Exercise 3: Eccentric Stepup
  • With your hands at chest level, step up on a chair with your right leg.
  • Smoothly lower your body down in 5 seconds until your left leg touches the ground.
  • Step off of the chair completely, then repeat the movement with your left leg on the chair.
Make it harder: Place your hands behind your head.
Make it even harder: Hold your hands above your head.
Finisher: 20-10 Cardio/Core Supersets
Perform 20 seconds of skater jumps (cardio exercise), where you leap from leg to leg in a side-to-side fashion. Rest for 10 seconds. Then for 20 seconds continuously transition from a pushup position to plank position, moving only your forearms. Rest 10 seconds. Repeat for 4 minutes total.
