What you’ll need:
- A Yoga Ball – You could use an ottoman if you don’t have a yoga ball, just be careful!
- 5-10 lb weights
- Enough space in front of your TV so that you won’t kick anything over
- Probably DVR, depending on how many times these likely scenarios unfold.
(Don’t have weights on hand for workouts #3 and #4? Bottles of wine could do the trick.)
HOW-TO’s:
#2: Stir the Pot
Kneel in front of a yoga ball with your forearms and elbows on the ball, hands together. Roll the ball forward until you’re in plank position. Your shoulders should be in line with your elbows, chest lifted off the ball.
Keep your core tight and make small circles to the right and then to your left with your forearms, as if stirring a pot.
#3: Squats to Overhead Press
Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, with a weight in each hand. Bend your arms so the weights are shoulder height. Go into a squat and pause. Next, in one motion, stand up, pressing weights over your head. Return to your starting position.
#4: Single-Leg Dumbell Row
Holding a weight in your left hand, lean forward slowly, while lifting your right leg in the air behind you, until your body is parallel to the floor. Hold that position, feel free to stand next to a chair for balance if necessary. Row by extending your arm out and pulling it in until it’s even with your torso. Repeat this arm movement while staying in the parallel position, then switch arms and legs after 10 reps.
#7: Curtsy Lunge
Stand with feet hip-width apart, with your hands on your hips. Take a giant step diagonally back with left foot and cross it behind your right; while bending your knees like a curtsy. While bending, reach your left hand toward the outside of your right foot. Do ten on each side. If this isn’t hard for you, add weight!
