If I did this one before forgive me...it is one of my favorite moves because yoiu get cardio and strenght training all for the price of ONE!!!!!!
Step ups! The beauty is you can vary it: with weights, without weights, on a step bench with risers, a work-out bench, stairs or a chair like we used to do in BOOT-CAMP!

If you noticed in the video the lady did them for 2 min...try and see how long you can go!!!

    I (re)started a strength-training plan yesterday based on _The New Rules of Lifting for Women_. (I'm a beginner, for sure!) Part of yesterday's routine was step-ups. They were more challenging to me than I first anticipated, lol. I'm a bit sore today, but not in a bad way. In a good way. :smile:

    Nice challenge. :)

    Remember Wonder Woman, it does not always have be new word/exercise just a NOW word. I like these step-ups too. I hope I will get a chance tonight but if not I will add it to my 20 Second Fitness tomorrow.

    Power to you all. You can!

    I second that. It's ok to use an exercise we know. The fun is a challenge we're tackling together. Gonna grab some hand weights and the kids' step stool. And turn on "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun." Woot!
