Warm-up
01
Crossbody Leg Swings

Strength
02
Bench Step-Up
Place one foot fully on a park bench or sturdy step, drive through that heel to stand up on top, and step down with control. Common mistake: pushing off the bottom leg to help — focus the effort through the top foot. Easier: use a lower step or hold a rail. Harder: use a higher bench or add a knee drive at the top.
3 × 12 / leg
rest 45s
03
Push-Up
Hands just outside shoulder width, body in a straight line from head to heels, core braced. Common mistake: letting the hips sag or pike up — squeeze glutes and abs to keep the line rigid. Easier: place hands on the bench for an incline push-up. Harder: elevate your feet on the bench instead.

rest 45s
04
Bar Pull-Up (or Inverted Row)
Grip an overhead bar just outside shoulder width and pull your chin over the bar, leading with your chest. Common mistake: using a kipping swing to cheat the rep — keep your body still. Easier: find a lower bar and do an inverted row instead, feet on the ground. Harder: slow the lowering phase to 4 seconds or add a pause at the top.
3 × 8
rest 60s
05
Bench Dip
Hands on the edge of a bench behind you, legs extended, lower your hips straight down by bending your elbows, then press back up. Common mistake: letting the shoulders roll forward — keep them pulled down and back. Easier: bend your knees to reduce the load. Harder: extend your legs fully and elevate your feet on another step.
3 × 12
rest 45s
06
Walking Lunge
Step forward into a lunge and drive through the front heel to bring your back foot through into the next stride. Common mistake: taking too short a step, which pitches the torso forward — use a stride long enough that your front shin stays vertical. Easier: do the lunges in place. Harder: hold a filled water bottle in each hand or add a hop between steps.
3 × 10 / leg
rest 45s
07
Hanging Knee Raise
Hang from the overhead bar with arms straight, and raise your knees toward your chest without swinging, then lower under control. Common mistake: using momentum to throw the knees up — keep the movement slow. Easier: perform lying on the ground instead. Harder: straighten your legs for a full leg raise.
3 × 12
rest 45s
08
Plank
Forearms under your shoulders, body in one straight line from head to heels, core braced. Common mistake: letting the hips sag — squeeze your abs like you're about to be poked. Easier: drop to your knees. Harder: lift one foot for 10 seconds at a time.
3 × 40s
rest 30s
09
Broad Jump
Swing your arms back, load your hips, and jump forward as far as possible, landing softly with bent knees. Common mistake: landing stiff-legged — absorb the landing through your hips and knees. Easier: reduce the jump distance. Harder: jump for maximum distance and stick the landing for 2 seconds before resetting.
3 × 8
rest 30s
10
Incline Push-Up (Feet Elevated)
Elevate your feet on a bench or step, hands on the ground slightly wider than shoulders, and lower your chest toward the ground keeping your body straight. Common mistake: letting the hips sag — keep core and glutes braced. Easier: lower the foot elevation. Harder: raise the feet higher or add a 3-second lowering phase.
