This is a 4Q Dead Strength workout for a mom with 2 kids that wants to feel stronger and feel more confident to perform daily tasks such as house chores. She also wants to improve a bit resiliency of her knee and open up her body body from chronic sitting postures.
This workout will be a combination of deadlifting (lifting mass up & down), dead shifting (moving a mass through gravity) and Ground To Stand Strength with your own bodyweight with the emphasis on generating force from the ground in different positions.
Focus points:
- When you come back to your starting position, rest for 2 seconds before performing the next repetition again. We want your body to be fully relaxed before you generate force again.
- Always think about specific tasks when you perform the drills such as push the ground away is if you would be mad at the ground, move from the hips as if you would sit at a chair behind you, ...
- Last but not least: enjoy every minute from your workout!
- Use a warm-up that we've performed last sessions that you feel great with with the emphasis on hips.
