Plank Up Downs
Bowen explains that the first exercise Britney nails is plank up-downs off a box. "This move effectively works the core and arms," he tells CelebWell.
Physio Ball Raise Into Side Bends
Next up, Britney uses a big physio ball and does physio ball raises followed by physio side bends. "This is a great exercise to strengthen the core," Bowen maintains.
Front Raise
Next up, Britney does front raises using a bar. "This exercise helps strengthen the front delts/shoulders," Bowen says.
Leg Raises
Using a Roman chair, Britney performs leg raises, which "target the core," says Bowen. "Core-strength exercises strengthen your core muscles, including your abdominal muscles, back muscles and the muscles around the pelvis. Strong core muscles make it easier to do many physical activities," says the Mayo Clinic.
Dumbbell Press Fly
Next Britney lies down on a bench and performs dumbbell press flys, a simple but effective move that targets the chest.
Physioball Sit Ups
Britney grabbed her physioball again, hopped on, and performed a series of sit ups, again working her abs.
Running On Non-Motorized Treadmill
Then, she did a little cardio. "Running on a non-motorized treadmill is one of the most effective treadmills for developing proper running techniques," explains Bowen. "Unlike standard electric treadmills, there are no on/off switches or complex buttons and settings to worry about pushing. It's a manually operated treadmill that helps train technique posture, balance, and cadence."
Pulldowns
After hopping off the treadmill, Britney did a few cable pulldowns. "The triceps extension is an exercise you can do with a weight machine to work the muscle in the back of the upper arm. As the name implies, the triceps extension targets the triceps muscle, located here in the back of the upper arm. Properly done, the triceps extension helps strengthen and tone the back of your upper arm. If you use a cable system, you can also work your core muscles and improve your stability," Dr. Edward Laskowski of the Mayo Clinic says.
Bridge
For her next exercise, Britney performed a bridge, which works everything from the glutes to the biceps.
Bicycle Kicks
In case you haven't noticed, Britney's workout involves a lot of ab work. For one of her final exercises she lays down on her back and does bicycle kicks.
Bridge Kicks
Britney finishes off the set by getting back into bridge position and doing bridge kicks, before stretching and celebrating the end of her grueling routine.
