3 FUNK ROBERTS SPARTAN TRAINING SYSTEM // Workout 9 // Week 10 // www.spartantrainingsystem.com 3 Reverse Lunge and Knee Raise

Tip: Make sure to use your front quad and push your foot through the floor when raising the back leg and knee up.
4 Plank with Alternate Leg Raise
• Begin in the plank position with your forearms and toes on the floor. • Keep your torso straight and rigid and your body in a straight line from ears to toes with no sagging or bending. • Your head is relaxed and you should be looking at the floor. • Raise your right leg as high as you can and then return to the start position and raise the left leg and then return. Alter- nate legs for the allotted time.
4 FUNK ROBERTS SPARTAN TRAINING SYSTEM // Workout 9 // Week 10 // www.spartantrainingsystem.com 5 Jumping Jacks
• Begin by standing with your feet together and arms at your sides.

At the same time, raise your arms over your head. You should be on the balls of your feet. • Keep your knees bent while you jump again, bringing your feet together and your arms back to your sides. At the end of the movement, your weight should be on your heels.
6 Pike Pushups
• Pike push-ups put a lot more emphasis on the upper body and back. To do them, start in a plank position. Now walk your hands back as you lift your hips up in the air. • Come to a point where your body is in about a 90-degree angle. • Slowly lower yourself down toward the floor, and then push back up. • Try to touch the floor with your nose before pushing straight up

• Stand with your feet wider than your shoulders. Tighten your abdominal muscles so your pelvis rolls forward. • Lower your hips as if you are sitting in a chair until your thighs are almost parallel to the floor. • Jump up and explode, straightening your legs as your feet leave the floor. • Return to the same position when you land, feet apart, heels on the floor and hips back. • Do not to let your knees extend over the tops of your toes when you land and repeat the jump.
8 Alternate Leg and Arm Raise
• Starting on all fours, lower forearms to the ground and tuck toes under and extend legs into what might look like a push-up position. • Extend one arm in front of you and the opposite leg back and hold pose for one second.
