Circuit 1
20 In and Out Squats: Holding the TRX straps tight and standing back in a squat position, squat with feet close together. Come up, step right foot to the side and squat wide. Step back to the narrow-feet position, squat, and come up. Step left foot to the side and squat wide. That’s one rep – yes, just one.
16 one-legged squats on each leg
16 Jump Squats
20 Sumo Squats: Feet wide apart, angled at 45 degrees out, as you go straight down and up – squeezing the glutes and inner thighs as you come up slowly.
16 Sumo Jump Squats: Same as the Sumo position, but quickly jump up and down, landing softly on the feet
16 TRX Lunges (or reverse lunges with one foot on a bench) and Pushups on each leg: Put one foot in the TRX strap and turn away from the strap, lunging down with the foot suspended. After 16 reps, come down to the floor and do 16 wide-grip pushups.

20 Hip Hinge/Heel Lifts: Start with right foot planted on the floor, left leg back and toe pointed and off the floor. Slowly hinge at the hip, chest coming down as your left leg lifts; slowly hinge back down, feeling the hamstrings as you would in a deadlift. Do 20 reps, then hold forward in the hinge position as you bend the left leg to 90 degrees and push the heels up to the ceiling for 16 reps. Repeat on the left leg.
