Single Leg Pulse

Targets: Shoulders, abs, butt, legs

Stand on right leg with left leg held out in front of you. Hold a ball or weight with your arms extended directly in front of you at chest height. Bend right leg slightly, lowering your body 2-3 inches, then straighten the leg and return to standing. Do 20 pulses. Switch legs and repeat.

Single Leg Squat and Leap

Targets: Shoulders, obliques, butt, legs

Stand with your legs wider than shoulder width, toes turned out slightly. Hold the ball or weight overhead slightly in front of your forehead, elbows partially bent. Squat down until you can touch the ball to the floor in between your feet – then spring up to the right, extending the ball over head as the left foot leaves the floor. Return the ball to the floor between your feet and then spring up to the left, extending the ball overhead until the right foot leaves the floor. Twist from your trunk as you leap to activate the oblique abdominal muscles. Do 10 reps. Repeat a second set.
