Modified Apex 10 (hip-friendly)

Modified Apex10 (For Hip Pain)

If you have hip pain trouble, here is a Modified Apex10 Workout that's easier on your hips for you to do during FM30X Phase #1.

Modified Apex10: Same Pyramid Format. You will still do this in a pyramid fashion (starting at 1 rep, working your way up to 10 reps, and back down to 1 rep).

  • Exercise #1: For tight hips: Sumo Squats; For instability: Swiss Ball Squats or Chair Squats
  • Exercise #2: Shoulder Press (same)
  • Exercise #3: Glute Bridge (choose the most challenging/doable for you)
  • Exercise #4: Renegade Rows (same)
  • Exercise #5: Push-ups (same)

As always, if you experience ANY pain during these motions please stop exercising. Don't push through pain that feels like it's from a joint/injury. Muscle burning is fine, but we need to make sure you're not causing damage.

As always, please consult with your doctor to get medical advice on your specific situation. This substitution workout is simply a suggestion for informational purposes only - not a direct recommendation for you.
