Sometimes, there just aren’t enough hours in the day to finish everything on your to-do list, especially fitting in time to go to the gym! Don’t worry! Below are 4 great exercises to help you tone at home.
1. Ab Attack
This exercise targets your abs, obliques, butt, and legs! Stand with your feet wider than shoulder width and lower into a squat. Tough your left hand behind your left ear and extend right arm out to the side, palm forward! Then, hop up onto your left leg, bringing your right knee up into your chest, and pulling your right arm in so your hand is by your shoulder and twist your torso slightly.
Do these continually for 15 seconds, then switch to the other side and repeat!
2. Starfish
This move targets your shoulders, abs, inner and outer thighs! Lay faceup on the floor, crossing your wrists over your hips. Life your head, shoulders, and legs off the floor, then sweep your arms out to the side and behind your head so that your body forms an X. Keeping your shoulders and legs off the floor, reverse the arm motion and bring your hands back to the crossed wrist position over you hips.
Do this continually for 30 seconds!
3. Squat Power Clap
This move targets your abs, butt, hamstrings, and quads! Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and lower yourself into a squat. Jump up, and bring your left knee up towards your chest and clap your hands underneath it. Then, land in the squat position, and this time bring your right knee up and clap your hands underneath.
Continue this, alternating sides for 30 seconds!
4. Ab Sprints
This move targets your abs, obliques, and legs! Sit on the floor with your right knee bent, heel down, and left leg extended forward. Bend your arms to 90 degrees, with your left elbow in front of you, and right elbow behind (like your arms when your running). Lean back 45 degrees and lift your feet off the floor. Then, quickly alternate arm and leg positions, bending and extending legs and pumping arms as if running while seated.
Continue this for 30 seconds!
Do 3 rounds of these moves for the best results! Armed with these moves, you’ll always have the time to get in a good workout during your busy day! Happy Working Out! :)
