Exercises of the Week #4 - 2 Free Weight Exercises and 1 Killer Yoga Ball Move

All the exercises of the week come from the Functional Fitness USA exercise archive.  We're currently, making a series of corrective exercise video work outs.  The Exercises of the Week is a free way we can enrich your work outs and help change the tired and worn out mentality of fad-based fitness.

IF IT'S NOT CORRECTIVE - WHY ARE YOU DOING IT?  Enjoy these corrective exercises from our team of trainers. 


Functional Fitness #130 - Short single leg squat with curl from Live Functional on Vimeo.
Front leg is holding most of weight into heel, hips are reaching behind you. Keep chest up, weight is always moving through the curl in time with the up and down.  Take it slow!  No more than 15 reps per leg for 2=3 sets. 


Functional Fitness #129 - Squat to Over Head Press from Live Functional on Vimeo.
Also an advanced move, squat is not deep, called shallow.  Keep over head press short, no elbow locking


Functional Fitness #133- Ball Plank with Torso Rotation from Live Functional on Vimeo.
Keep weight in heels, hips pushing toward ceiling.  The ball is located under the shoulder blades, head can be held off of ball. Twist the ball onto one shoulder blade then back to the other.  Ball should move under you, torso twisting through midline.  Start slow, no big fast twisting until you can stay balanced.
