Tone & Tighten Your Body!
**Static Lunge - To do the static lunge, take a large step forward and descend into the deepest position of the lunge you can hold -- ideally, your knees will form two 90-degree angles. Hold this position for 30 seconds on each side, then switch sides. Work this hold into your workout between sets of an upper-body exercise
**Body Saw - With your toes on a towel, assume a forearm plank position. Brace your core as if you were about to be punched. Maintaining a straight body position from your head to heels, slowly slide forward so your elbows form an angle smaller than 90 degrees, then reverse and slide back until your elbows form a wider angle. The movement should resemble the back-and-forth movement of a handheld saw
**Superman - To do it, lie face down with your arms extended straight overhead, your legs extended straight. Simultaneously lift your head, chest, arms and legs up, so you're in a Superman-style flying position, gazing forward. Hold this position for up to 30 seconds, and repeat
**Glute Bridge - Lie face up with your knees bent, your feet flat on the floor. Squeeze your glutes to raise your pelvis until your body forms a straight line from your knees to your shoulders. In this position, squeeze your glutes and core as hard as you can, and hold the pose for 60 seconds
**Bottom of Push Up Hold
**Chair Pose - Standing with your feet together and your arms beside your ears, bend your knees and push your hips back to hold a half-squat position
**Static Sumo Squat - To do it, hold a dumbbell with both hands between your legs before you squat. Squat to the bottom of the squat position, with the weight hanging just above the floor. Hold this position for as long as possible
HAVE FUN!!!
