​
these 8 moves will be a great start to your second half of the year

#1... side to side skaters

this move is one of my favorite high / moderate intensity exercises to add into my workouts

the reason why i like it so much is it requires no equipment 

and can be done anywhere

to perform this exercise you want to start in a slight squat

most people that i teach this move to have a hard time starting the move off

but i tell them that 

it's like a dance

once you get your rhythm your good to go

from that slight squat position you just want to hope to one side

and put the opposite leg behind and power off of your front leg to the other side


perform 2-3 sets of 40 seconds per set / per side 

#2... side plank w/hip raise

this is a great exercise to tone those love handles

you know what...

lets call them the 

hate handles

cause, no one loves them!

so, to work those "hate handles"

get into a side plank position

from here all your gonna do is raise your hip up as high as you can and then lower yourself back to the floor


perform 2-3 sets of 20 reps per set / per side

#3... reverse leg curl

this is the official hamstring / calf killer

(killer of fat that is)

lie on your back with your feet resting on a stability ball

​pull you knees into your chest as far as you can 

and bring you legs back to the starting position


perform 2-3 sets of 15-20 reps

#4... step up/squat jump/push up

this one is going to definitely get your heart rate going

if you dont have access to an aerobic step 

and you have steps in your house you can use those steps

if you dont have access to any kind of step just march in place during the step up part of the move

start by stepping up and down on the step

when you feet hit the floor immediately go into a squat jump

when your feet hit the floor from the squat jump 

place your hands on the step and perform a push up


perform 2-3 sets of 10-20 reps  

#5... reverse walking lunge

Picture

the thing that makes this one such a great fat burning move is 

your lunging backwards

this will challenge your balance a lot more then the traditional lunge

causing your body to burn more fat

start by taking a big step backwards

bend both of your knees

bringing the knee of your rear leg as close to the floor as you can without touching the floor

bring your front foot to meet the rear foot

making sure to keep you chest tall through out the movement

pause and repeat

​
perform 2-3 sets of 5-8 reps

#6... mountain sliders

Picture

this is one of those exercises that most of my clients love to hate

if you dont have the sliding discs that i have on my feet you can use towels (they only work on hard surfaces not rugs)

or you can use paper plates

start in a push up position and slide you legs in and out 

driving your knees into your chest 

and squeezing your core


perform 2-3 sets of 40-60 seconds each

#7... corkscrew

the corkscrew is one of those 

either forgotten ab moves

or less known ones

either way its a great ab burner

now you dont need to be on a bench like i am 

you can perform this exercise on the floor

start by squeezing your ab muscles and roll you knees into your chest

at the half way point push your feet towards the ceiling and rotate your torso slightly to one direction

come back to the starting position and repeat on the other side


​perform 2-3 sets of 10 reps on each side 

#8... half squat

Picture
Picture
this is the ultimate upper thigh fat burner

in this move you want to start in as deep of a squat as you can perform

and only come half way up

nice and simple


perform 2-3 sets of 15-25 reps

easy... peasy!
