Side Squats

Today's move is a fusion of a lunge and squat which targets the butt and inner thighs.

How to: Start off standing tall and then take your leg out to the side and lower down into a squat. Reverse the move and repeat on the other side.  Too easy? jump up instead of standing in between side squats and increase the tempo to make it a cardio move.

Now you: See how many you can do in1-minute. Take a 10-sec break and repeat 2 more times.

Ab Twists
It's time to target those abs again, so grab a mat and let's go!

How to: Start off in a seated position, with your elbows up and finger tips touching each other.  Lean back slightly, maintaining an upright position and abs held in.

Begin to twist your torso to one side and repeat on the other.  Too easy? Lift your feet off the floor.

Now you: See how many you can do in 1-minute

Wide leg crunches

If you are tired of doing hundreds of the same ab crunches, then here is a slight variation for you which  works the abs and inner thighs.

How to: Start off with your upper body on the mat and your legs in a v-position. Your  goal is to lift and lower  your upper  body  as your  arms  are reaching  through the legs

Now you: Perform 3 sets of 12-15 repetitions.

In, Out Arms!

This is a simple but SUPER effective move, which is great for sculpting the shoulders and developing awesome arms!!

How to:  Start off standing with your arms out like an aeroplane. Bring your elbows towards your hips and then reverse the move back to the starting position.  Too easy? Try using some light dumbells to add some resistance.

Now you: This is a one track workout move, so crank up your favourite tune and keep those arms moving in and out. I promise  you WILL feel the  intensity!!

Butt Lifts

If you are looking to tone your tush, then try today's move!

How to: Start off in a table top position.  Keep your lifting leg pointed and lift towards the ceiling and return back to a 90 degree angle.  Remember to squeeze your butt as you are lifting!

To make it more challenging, vary the pace of the lifts ( e.g 3 counts up and 1 down)

Now you: Don't stop till you get enough! Yep, today I want you keep going until your butt tells you to stop and then change sides :-))

Mountain Climbers

Want to work up a sweat? Well Today's move is a great pulse raiser!!

How to: Start off in a plank position on your mat. Your aim is to alternate each leg towards your chest at speed.  Try to avoid moving into a pike position, as you want to maintain the perfect plank!

Now you: Time for a song time challenge! Keep the mountain climbers going for the duration of your favourite cardio classic move.  Try to move to the rhythm of the music!

Squat Circles

Here is another 2 for 1 workout focusing on your shoulders and legs!!

How to: Start off in a squat with your arms out in front of you (palm facing down). Create a big circle  with  your  hands  and end with your  arms  out in  front  you, but  palm facing  up this time.  Too easy? Try  adding  some dumbbells,

Now you: Perform 3 sets of 12-15 repetitions.

Alternating L-Crunches

Its crunch time! So let's get ready to work those lower ab muscles!!

How to: Start off by laying flat on your mat and arms by your side.  Extend one leg up. Now lift your head and shoulders (keep your chin down) and perform mini crunches as you alternate your legs (so the L-stance always remains with the legs).

You can support your head with your arms if you are finding this tricky.

Now you: This is a perfect song challenge exercise and goes well with Bruno Mars' Uptown Funk (go faster on the chorus if you can!!)

You will certainly feel your abs by the end of this one!
