CIRCUIT 3 Aug 20th 2012, 15:35 1. X-Factor Stand with your feet two to three feet apart, toes turned out 45 degrees, holding dumbbells at arm's length between your legs. Sit your hips back and bend your knees to lower your body toward the floor (a). In one motion, push through your heels and squeeze your glutes to stand, raising the weights overhead in a V position and rising onto your toes (b). Hold for two seconds, then return to start. That's one rep. Do 12 to 15. 2. Frog Jump Start in a low plie squat position (legs two to three feet apart, toes turned out 45 degrees, thighs parallel to the floor) and reach your hands toward the floor, keeping your chest lifted. Press through your heels to quickly jump forward in the air, landing immediately in another squat; repeat, jumping backward. Continue jumping back and forth for 45 seconds. 3. Plank with Alternating Arm and Leg Raise Start in a plank with your elbows directly under your shoulders and your feet slightly more than hip-width apart. Keeping your hips square to the floor, raise your right leg and left arm a few inches so that your body forms a straight line from your left hand to your right heel. Hold for five seconds, then return to start and repeat with the opposite arm and leg. That's one rep. Do three. Media files: preview (image/jpeg, 0 MB)
