Switch It Up

Here are a few exercises from fitnessmagazine.com that I love! I love these kinds of exercises in my workout routine because some of them work multiple muscles and they're different than the same old exercises! It's important to switch things up every once in a while so your workouts stay exciting. Try adding some of these to your workouts!

Reach and Press

• Start with dumbbell in left hand and do a shoulder press.
  
• Lift your opposite leg, right, behind you at a 90 degree angle.
  
• Reach your left arm forward to your shin as if you were to touch the ground.
  
• Stand and repeat 12x. Switch to right arm and left leg once completed.
  

Bridge and Triceps Press

• Start with feet shoulder width apart and lift your hips to do a floor bridge.
  
• With dumbbells in hands, start with bent elbows just by your ears.
  
• Extend your arms for a triceps extension. Do not bring your hips down until completed 15 reps of triceps extensions.
  

Frog Squat

• Squat as low as you can, with elbows pressed in knees, holding a dumbbell in palms.
  
• Then raise your legs so they're almost completely extended, but keep your upper body in its original position.
  
• Repeat 15x
  

Spell Your Name

• Start in normal plank position with elbows on the stability ball.
  
• Spell your name in cursive with your elbows moving the ball. This will force you to stabilize the rest of your body with your core. Hopefully you have a short name :)
