Glute March

The Glute March is a great way to warm up the lower body. It builds strength in the glutes and hamstrings as well as core intelligence. Try pulling your standing heels toward your butt as the other leg is marching. You will get a great deal more glute activation. Alternate legs for the alloted time.

Sets: Three

Reps: march for 60 seconds

Make it harder: Hold a weight on your hips. 

Halo with Resistance Band

I love this exercise. Equal parts core and shoulders and back, it is just a solid strategy for building strength. If you have a dumbell at home you could use that instead of the band. As you will see, I am sitting on the band. Reach up with the ends of the band in your hands and bend the elbows. Begin to make concentric circles with the hands and allow the upper body to circle as well. 

Sets: Three

Reps: 8-12 in BOTH directions
