It was an old-world Hollywood historical epic of the highest order, complete with extreme violence, a touching love story, and a lot of rousing dialogue about war and freedom.

This Wallace guy was happening.Īrguably most recognizable to modern audiences is the 1995 feature film about Wallace called " Braveheart" written by Randall Wallace (no relation), and directed by and starring Mel Gibson. Henty wrote "In Freedom's Cause: A Story of Wallace and Bruce" in 1885. Sir Walter Scott wrote "The Story of Sir William Wallace" in 1928. Jane Porter wrote a romantic novel about Wallace in 1810 called "The Scottish Chiefs." Felicia Hemens wrote a celebrated poem about Wallace at The Battle of Falkirk called "Wallace's Invocation to Bruce" in 1819. Robert Burns wrote the lyrics to a hit song in 1793 called "Scots Wha Hae wi Wallace Bled." The 19th century was lousy with works about Wallace.

To increase the intensity, perform the same move while "floating" the rear leg straight above the ground behind you, not letting it touch the ground.William Wallace would serve as inspiration for several major works of poetry, lit, and film over the centuries.

Keep your core tight and focus on a slow and steady range of motion.

Keeping the top arm straight, slowly lower the dumbbell back down to the starting position.

Allow the arm to straighten completely out, creating one long diagonal line from the top dumbbell to the bottom arm and dumbbell.

Using the arm on the same side as your rear leg, lead with your elbow to drag the dumbbell across your chest into a high row, as if you were drawing an arrow from a bow.

The dumbbells should be hanging by your sides, straight down over your front foot. Square your hips and chest over the front foot. Keep 80 percent of your bodyweight in the front leg with a slightly bent knee.

Step one foot back into a staggered stance.

(Holding two dumbbells makes the move more challenging and may help you keep your balance.)

If you can, do it in front of a full-length mirror to make sure you stay properly aligned. Jericho's advice for this move is to go very slowly to start.

Once you get the hang of the move with both feet on the floor, there are two options to kick up the intensity even more: by lifting your back leg out behind you, then by adding a pulse on your supporting leg.

Your lats, shoulders, and triceps all get major work from this dumbbell exercise, but I also felt a major burn all through my core, which was fighting to stabilize during the rotation. Then I tried it, and realized, oh, wait: that's hard. When trainer Jericho McMatthews demoed the move on screen, I wasn't sure what it would do, if anything. The braveheart, a move from Beachbody's new Morning Meltdown 100 program, definitely fell in that category. Upper-body strength has never been my strong suit, so I get excited about doing exercises that really feel like they're challenging my arms, shoulders, and back, especially when it's kind of unexpected.
