Check out these two movement snacks that will work your entire body.  You can do these movement snacks anytime of the day to get in some extra movement by themselves. Or you can combine different movement snacks together for a longer full meal workout.

The Loaded Beast Push-up is a more dynamic and full-body version of the classic push-up. It works your entire front kinetic chain, including your chest, abs, hip flexors, quadriceps, front delts, biceps and triceps, as well as some muscles on the back side of your body such as your lats and rear delts. It also challenges your body more by moving through a larger range of motion.  For example, your arms go overhead and back toward your hips, instead of staying in front of your chest when doing a regular Push-up. 

The Beast to Plank isometrically works your upper body and core, while dynamically working your lower body. It challenges your core more because your legs are moving one at a time, instead of being motionless as in a regular plank. This translates well to every day movement because we are usually moving our limbs asymmetrically when performing normal daily activities. 

Loaded Beast Push-up:
Sets: 4
Reps: 6-10 full push-ups

Lateral to Curtsy Lunge:
Sets: 4
Reps: 6-10 steps each side
