Oct. 2- Workouts!
Try This All-in-One Toner
A side-step squat with wood chop works your arms, torso, abs, back, legs, inner thighs and butt. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart holding a three- to four-pound medicine ball in your hands, or nothing at all to start. Bend your arms up so that the ball is at eye level over your right shoulder. As you bring the ball or hands toward your left knee, squat no further than 90 degrees. Return to the starting position. Do 10 to 15 reps.
Intensify Your Push-Up
Squat-thrust push-ups get you in great shape because they work your upper body, core and lower body all at once. From a standing position, bend down, put your hands on the floor shoulder-width apart, and jump your feet back into plank position. If you're strong, cross your ankles; otherwise, jump your feet wide apart. Do a push-up, then jump your feet together or uncross your ankles. Jump your feet back to your hands and stand up. Do eight reps total, rest for one minute, and repeat. This one is serious!
Abs To Go
When you're at your desk give your belly pooch the outs with Pilates breathing: Gently suck in your gut as if you were buttoning a tight pair of jeans. Then breathe without allowing your abs to relax. Do this for 30 seconds. Breathing (correctly) is just as good as a good crunch. Repeat five times.
