Day 3 of the Fitness Advent Calendar



From frog squats (lower body), to frog push-ups (chest and arms) to the airplane (back and glutes), this is our exercise of the day. There are so many variations to this exercise. The video demonstrates some of those options.

For the beginner, using a modification, do 3 sets of 10 second holds. For the intermediate exerciser, do 3 sets of 30 second holds. For the advanced exerciser, hold in the lifted position for 2-3 minutes with arm variations.

For a major muscle simple workout, do one set of all 3 exercises from Days 1-3. Then repeat so that you do 3-4 sets total of each exercise. Easy to do when you're on the road! All you need is enough floor space for your body!

Directions:
1. Lay down on your belly.
2. Squeeze your glutes and anchor your hips and tops of your feet to the floor.
3. Keep your chin tucked so neck is in alignment with the spine.
4. Lift chest up to rib cage if you can.
5. Use modifications and variations where applicable. (see video)
