1. Woodchoppers

Anchor the loop or tube band under your left foot.
With your right side to the support, grab the free end of the band with your arms stretched out overhead.
In one smooth motion, pull the band down and across your body to the front of your knees while rotating your right hip and pivoting your back foot.
Slowly return to starting position and repeat for 8-10 reps on each side.

2. Russian Twist.

Sit on the floor with legs extended, wrapping the center of the band around the bottom of your feet.
Hold the free ends in each hand.
Slightly bend your knees, keeping your feet on the floor, and lean back at a 45-degree angle.
Rotate the band right by bringing your left hand across your body and your right hand down by your right hip.
Contracting your oblique muscles, bring the band toward your right hip while keeping your middle and low back neutral.
Return to starting position and rotate left then right for a total of 10-12 reps on each side.

3. Kneeling Crunch

Attach the band to a high anchor (such as the top of a door or cable column) and kneel down, grabbing each side of the band.
Extend the elbows out at shoulder-level, engage your abdominals, and crunch down toward your hips while contracting your abs.
Slowly return to starting position and repeat for 10-12 reps.

4. Reverse Crunch

Anchor the band in a low mount position.
Lie on your back, bending your knees to form a 90-degree angle.
Wrap the band around the tops of both feet and scoot back enough to create tension the band.
Abs tight and back flat, pull your knees toward your shoulders, contracting your abdominal muscles.
Slowly return to starting position and repeat for 12-15 reps.

Shipping & Delivery

Due to COVID-19, shipping systems the world over are experiencing abnormal delays. There is an enormous demand on postal and delivery services as online shopping has skyrocketed, due to store closures and stay-at-home mandates. This is an unprecedented situation, and we are working around the clock to fulfill your orders as quickly as possible. To be clear, we are filling orders in 4-6 days, and we are shipping immediately after that. Once shipped, our shipping partner, UPS, will get your order out to you as quickly as possible. Thanks for your support and understanding.

Are you in Canada? Specifically, are you outside of a metropolitan centre? We need to alert you to a disruption in shipping due to COVID-19. Our preferred shipping provider, UPS, has informed us that they cannot guarantee express shipping for many locations. We have also seen that packages delivered to Toronto, Ottawa, Vancouver, etc, are not waylaid, but packages delivered to areas just outside of these cities are being held in transit for days or even weeks. UPS has discontinued their guarantee of 1-4 day delivery, which you can read more about here. Therefore, we can guarantee early fulfillment but not early delivery of our goods from our warehouse to your door at this time.

We want you to start your fitness journey with us as quickly as possible, that’s why we send every package to the USA & Canada via expedited or standard shipping (whichever is faster) with our partners at UPS. Once your order has been processed successfully we try to have your shipment prepared within 4-6 business days, and it typically takes 2-4 days to get to you once it leaves our warehouse.

We currently DO NOT SHIP to locations outside of the US and Canada. We DO NOT ship to a P.O. Box number.

We ship all of our physical products with UPS, from our warehouse location in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. Sometimes delivery can be delayed by circumstances out of our control, like postal & custom delays, back-ordered products or incorrectly entered shipping addresses. If there is a delay at Customs, a representative of UPS may contact you to provide your identification in order to receive your package. Please do this ASAP: Customers will be responsible for any additional shipping fees for failure to provide the required information to release a shipment.

Make sure when checking out and paying for your order that all of your information entered is correct! If you notice a mistake in your address, please try to contact us before your order is processed for shipping to avoid any missed shipments or delays. As soon as we process your order for shipping, you will receive a shipping confirmation email that contains your UPS tracking number. You can head on over to the UPS Website to see where your products are. Note: tracking information may take 1-2 business days to be updated in the UPS system

If you are not home when your package is delivered, BodyRock is NOT responsible if it is stolen. Please contact us if this happens to you and we will provide you with all the information needed to take the next steps.
