Fitness Friday Fact #28

I am not one who likes to take the easy way out, but as you saw on Tuesday's Post, there are times that warrant a little laziness ;)

On a day of minimal motivation, this "tone all" exercise (shown above) is perfect for working the lower back, glutes, thighs and abs all at once.  What is best about this move is that there is absolutely no equipment required and it can be successfully completed in the comfort of your own home!

Here are the steps to follow for this easy move:

1.  Lie on your belly (A)

2.  Extend your legs and stretch your arms out in front of you.  Make sure that your palms face each other and that your abs are engaged (A)

3.  Take a deep breath and lift your arms, torso and legs (B).  Hold for 5 - 10 seconds, then slowly lower them back down.  Repeat until you feel muscle fatigue.
