Get a Dancer’s Body No matter if it’s ballroom or break dance, all dancer’s have one thing in common: A super toned and tight body. Want one of your own? This creative do-anywhere workout will help you sculpt a lean and strong physique without even hitting the gym. Follow the total-body workout three nonconsecutive days per week and the cardio program two or tree times per week. Total-Body Circuit Do the exercises in order with no rest in between. That’s one circuit. Do at least two circuits, working up to five. Jumping Jacks Prisoner Squat 30 seconds 20 reps Close-hands pushup 20 reps Lunge with Twist And Overhead Reach 6 reps Perform standard jumping jacks without pausing. Try to keep your arms straight, and kick your legs out to the sides quickly. Mountain Climber 20 reps With your hands on the back of your head (as if you had just been arrested), push your hips back into a squat, keeping your knees behind your toes. Inverted Hamstring Get in a plank position, placing your hands directly under your shoulders. Keep your elbows tucked close to your sides, lower your body to the floor and push back up to the starting position. Step forward with your right leg and lower your body until your right knee is bent 90 degrees. As you lunge, rotate your torso to your right and reach high with both hands then return to starting position. Complete all reps with your right leg first, then repeat with your left, rotating torso to the left. T-pushup Run in place 8 reps 30 seconds 8 reps Per Leg Get in a plank position. Lift your right foot off the floor and bring your knee as close to your chest as you can. Touch the floor with your right foot, return to the starting position, and repeat with your left leg. Alternate back and forth. Stand on your left leg, your knee bent slightly. Raise your right foot off the floor, then lift your leg and bend forward at the waist to lower your torso until it’s parallel to the floor. Raise your arms straight out from your sides as you bend, then return to start. Get in a plank position, placing your hands slightly wider than shoulderwidth apart. Lower your body until your chest nearly touches the floor. Pause at the bottom, then push yourself back up to the starting position. The 16-Minute Cardio Workout You can perform this on a treadmill or stationary bike, or outside on the sidewalk or a track. Warm up at an easy pace—about 30 percent of your best effort—for four minutes. Then do this interval workout: 1. Speed up until you’re at about 80 percent of your best effort; maintain this pace for 30 seconds. 2. Slow down to about 40 percent of your best effort and go for 60 seconds. 3. That’s one set. Do six sets. 4. Cool down at about 30 percent of your best effort for three minutes. Find more fun workouts at WomensHealthMag.com/Guides
