Lat-Pull Plie

  1. Stand with your feet two to three feet apart, toes turned out, and rise onto your toes, holding the rope taut behind your head as if you were holding a bar on your shoulders.
  2. From that position, sit back and bend your knees to lower into a squat as you press your arms overhead. Pause, then pull your shoulder blades down and together and straighten your legs to return to start. That's one rep. Start with 25 and work your way up to 50.

Tip Keep your shoulders down as your press your arms overhead.

Calves, Glutes, Hamstrings, Quadriceps, Upper Back
