Flow fitness works by putting a few exercises together in order to increase heart rate, endurance, and muscular strength.

By stringing multiple exercises together without breaks in between, the heart will continue working and endorphins will be released. It is a great way to stay fit by increasing muscle mass, bone density, and can also be a really fun workout. Here are three flow fitness exercises to get your heart pumping during your next workout.
1-Walkout
Walk your body into a high plank, while in the high plank, take a deep breath in and then exhale. Then, walk yourself back. Make sure you focus on pressing your heels into the ground on your way back so shoulder injuries are avoided. This exercise is great for targeting multiple areas including the core, shoulders, chest, triceps, hamstrings, and glutes. They also help with balance and stability.
2-Super Push-Up
Moving directly from the high plank from the walkout movement, go all the way down to the floor and stretch your arms out in a superman position. It is important to keep your shoulder blades down and glutes tight. This leads you into the third exercise when you move back into the high plank position. Super push-ups are awesome for working out the chest, triceps, shoulders, core, and legs.
3-Split Squat
Back in the high plank position, bring one foot forward and move into the split squat. Drop nice and deep. This exercise is great for targeting the lower body and glutes.
These three exercises flow and have similar movements making them easy to do altogether. They are a great way to build muscle, improve flexibility, and mobility and will help you get in shape. to live a healthier life.
