5 Exercises You Can Do Anywhere
5 Exercises You Can Do Anywhere
Schedule too nutty to get to the gym? We've got five foolproof exercises you can
do anywhere that will get you feeling strong, boost metabolism and burn calories.
#1 WAIST TRIMMER
Sit towards the edge of a chair with your back perfectly straight and your hips
firmly planted. Hold on to a water bottle, a book, or a dumbbell with both hands at
chest-level. Keeping your hips still and squared toward the front, rotate your torso
to the left, then back to center, and to the right. Keep abs contracted and use a
slow, controlled motion so that your abs and obliques––not your arms––do the
work. Rotate to each side 15-20 times and complete 2-3 sets.
#2 COUNTER PUSH-UPS
Assist your push-ups by doing them against any counter, desk or sturdy table
rather than on the floor. Keeping elbows in and legs straight, do 2-3 sets of 15-20
push-ups.
#5 CHAIR AB TILT
Scoot to the edge of a chair as you did in the Waist Trimmer. Lean back, feeling
all of your abdominal muscles engage, but don't let your back touch the back of
the chair. Hold for as long as you can, then return to sitting upright. Remember to
breathe, and repeat this several times throughout the day, strengthening your
back, core, and abs.
