Squats, lunges, and push-ups have been a staple of many workout DVDs and gym classes for years.
They’re total body toning at its best!
Don’t miss out on the benefits of these toning exercises, or worse, get hurt.
How to Do it: Place BOSU on floor with ball side down on the floor.
Grip the sides with your hands, legs extended behind in a high plank position.
Holding your core tight and keeping gaze forward, lower your chest down.
Tuck your elbows, bringing arms to about 45 degrees at the bottom of the push-up.
Push back up to high plank.
Center your weight over your feet, holding weights at your shoulders.
Lift your chest and pull your shoulders back.
Bend at the hips and slowly sit back into an imaginary chair.
As you come up to stand, push off your heels and press the weights up straight over head.
Be careful not to let your chest or your gaze drop when you lower down.
How to do it: Stand with feet shoulder width apart, weights at sides.
Lower until about 90 degrees making sure that your front knee is NOT over your toes.
Holding a low lunge, curl your arms up to your shoulders and lower down.
Push off your front foot, feet together.
Repeat, alternating feet.
The back remains straight, do not lean forward or back.
