California-based fitness instructor Katie Austin is an expert when it comes to curating worthwhile gym routines. Following her Division I college lacrosse career, the 30-year-old picked up strength training for herself. Soon after, she started sharing her content with a growing following. Now, Austin is the founder of her own fitness platform, which boasts hundreds of on-demand classes, ranging from cardio and strength to stretching.

That’s why, when it comes to expert fitness routines and accompanying demonstrations, we rely on Austin’s social media content. This week, the Virginia native was back with her “New Move Monday” series—and it’s definitely worth incorporating into your routine.

In the clip, she combined a back lunge, leg lift and reverse fly into one weighted movement that she promised would “strengthen your whole body [and] improve your stability.”
