6 moves to get you toned fast
Celeb trainer Ashley Conrad
crafts a quick circuit just for GL. Repeat it 2 to 3 times all the way through,
3 days a week.
Squat Jumps
Start with your feet at hip width. Crouch down and plant your hands on the floor. Kick your legs out and back, so you’re in a push-up position. Jump your legs back into a squat position. Explode off the ground. Repeat 10 to 15 times. Then jog in place for a minute.
Lateral & Front Raises
Stand with feet at hip width, holding 3-pound weights. Keep arms straight and raise them to the side, stopping shoulder height. Return to start. Raise weights straight in front of you, stopping shoulder height. Do 12 to 15 reps and 30 jumping jacks.
90-Degree Circles
Lie on your back and lift your legs straight up in the air. Place your arms and hands firmly at your sides. Rotate your legs in an outward motion, making 12-inch circles in the air. Repeat for one minute and then rotate your legs in the other direction for 1 minute.
Park Bench Dips
Sit on the edge of a bench, with your hands beside you. Scoot your butt of, and support yourself with your arms and legs. Bend your elbows and lower down until your arms form a 90-degree angle. Push back up. Repeat for 8 to 10 reps. Jump rope for a minute.
Walking Lunges
Start with your feet together. Take a big step forward with your left leg. Bend both legs so they form right angles and lower down. Keep your spine straight. Take your back right leg and step forward and repeat. After 5 lunges, perform 2 squats. Repeat 4 times.
Incline Push-ups with a Twist
Get into a push-up position with your feet elevated on a stair. Lower down by bending your arms. When you come up, tighten abs and bend your left elbow and right knee so they almost touch. Return to start. Repeat 8 to 10 times.
