Incorporate this easy-to-learn exercise segment into your workout. It hits your hamstrings, abs of course, arms, chest and shoulders. It’s called “worm” or “inch worm” since you walk out slowly and back, bending in the middle. Do the pushup modified or military; it is effective either way.
Take care,

This video demonstrates Plank, which strengthens your entire core, front and back, while also taxing your shoulders and arms. Start with a few seconds hold time, either on your forearms or in full plank with arms extended; hands below your shoulders. I demo both positions, as well as the most challenging – going back and forth from forearms to full extension and back. You’ll notice a good cardio kick too, doing the back and forth one, half a dozen times or so, and repeating. Enjoy this easy to learn move that has a big payoff.
Warm regards,
Margo

This video demonstrates a full body segment that hits your thighs, glutes, waist, arms, shoulders and cardio, all at once! Watch it through first to get the gist; then I recommend doing each segment, or the same one twice, 8 reps. In other words, one lunge left, (then center) then to the right, is one repetition. Go slow, and sit back on those heels keeping eyes forward and your back aligned as I demonstrate on video.
Enjoy!
