1 Chair Twist
Works: shoulders, back, abs, butt and thighs.
Stand with feet together in a high squat, palms together on outside of left knee, arms straight. With knees together, rotate to left at waist, opening arm toward ceiling. Hold for five seconds and return to initial stance. Do five reps. Switch sides.
MAKE IT EASIER: Start with legs hip-width apart for more support and balance.
MAKE IT HARDER: Squat more deeply
2 Seated Pigeon
Works: shoulders, abs and hips.
Start with legs straight, leaning back slightly, with palms planted firmly behind you for support. Cross right shin over left thigh, food flexed. Slowly slide left heel toward butt, keeping chest lifted. Gently continue opening hips until you feel a stretch; hold for five seconds and return to start. Do five reps. Switch sides.
MAKE IT EASIER: Sit on a chair.
MAKE IT HARDER: Slide hips closer to hands for a deeper stretch.
3 Fencer Lunge
Works: shoulders, back, abs and hips.
Kneel on left leg, right leg out to the side, foot flat on floor and heel in line with left knee, hips open. Extend arms diagonally. Squeeze glutes to press hips forward. Slowly bend right knee past toes, keeping heel on floor. Keeping chest and shoulders open, hold for five seconds and return to initial stance. Do five reps. Switch sides.
MAKE IT EASIER: Keep hands on hips.
MAKE IT HARDER: Reach top arm overhead instead of diagonal to increase side bend.
