Arms
Reverse push-ups from a step platform.
Place two benches across from each other at a distance of your outstretched legs. Turn your back to one of them and place your hands (shoulder-width grip) on the edge, throw your legs over the other. Your feet don’t have to be deep on the bench (step platform), you just need to place them on the edge. This is the starting position. As you inhale, begin to slowly draw yourself downward by bending your elbows. Lower your fifth point until your shoulders are parallel to the floor (90 degree angle). Keep your elbows straight and don’t move them too far apart.
Active load: triceps.
Front chin-up with a resistance band.
Active load: deltoids.
Back lunges to TRX with arms lifted forward.

Legs
Gluteal bridge on one leg.
Lifting the pelvis on one leg is an easy exercise that mainly uses the quadriceps and gluteal muscles. However, the abs and back are also at work. Lie on the floor, simultaneously lift your pelvis and straight leg up to the maximum compression of the buttocks. After a second pause, on an inhalation, lower the pelvis, but do not touch the floor and repeat.
Active load: isolated workout of gluteal and thigh biceps.
When training in this mode, the results will not wait. Cardio can be added for a faster effect.
