Burpee: One of the most effective full-body exercises around, this one starts out in a low squat position with hands on the floor. Next, kick the feet back to a push-up position, complete one push-up, then immediately return the feet to the squat position. Leap up as high as possible before squatting and moving back into the push-up portion of the show.
Wall Squat: Who needs a bar that could hurt the Back and place pressure on the Spine when there’s a wall?? Slowly slide your back down a wall until the thighs are parallel to the ground. Make sure the knees are directly above the ankles and keep the back straight. Go for 60 seconds per set (or however long it takes to turn those legs to jelly). Need more fire? Add some bicep curls.
Step-Up: Find a step on a staircase, Step Risers (as seen in photo), or a low, flat-bench, and place the Right foot on the elevated surface. Step up until the Right leg is straight and the Left foot is beside the Right foot (Left leg is also straight), then return to start but KEEP the Right foot on the step or riser constantly. Repeat, aiming for 12-20 reps on each side.
Example: Left foot is on Riser, Right foot is stepping, Right hand can hold weight.

| NOTE: If using a Riser, you can hold a 10 pound plate in the palm of the side performing the step (Shown in Photo Above) |
