ONE and DONE ✅
Here are two exercises for your neck using a bit of weight and a towel. I like to go from a stretched position to slightly past neutral. In other words, for both movements, I go from the bottom up to about the middle.
Take it easy if it’s been a while.

Squat to Deadlift
You’ve seen this exercise as the T-Arm Squat to Streamline Deadlift. For this variation, instead of the arm positions, I threw a kettlebell over my back. It felt good!

For these scorpion kicks, roll onto the inside of your left foot while bringing the right knee to your left elbow. Kick your right foot up, as high as possible, and roll onto the outside of your left foot while bringing the right foot up and across your body.

Lateral Step Ups
This exercise improves leg strength, while improving control of hip rotation and pelvic tilting.
I often do random sets using my bathtub, but you can do them anywhere. Use some common sense and make sure you’re on a stable, nonslip surface.

Dips with feet elevated behind you. This variation feels great. It’s a bit easier with more emphasis on the chest. Get that stretch at the bottom!

ONE and DONE ✅ is back!
After months of hard training, I’m winding down with 3 weeks of 2.0 and Prep before my Germany courses in early May.
However, in addition to 2.0 and Prep, I’ll share a daily ONE and DONE ✅

We just published the first of Prep Calisthenics, Prep Cals 1. These fun little workouts are all about learning to get up and down from the ground with ease, using a variety of movement strategies that can be used in real life.
I’m looking for feedback. Enjoy!
