HOME BODY
When the heat is on, don't sweat it—outside. Your very own great indoors is just as good
as any gym or park for toning, strengthening and getting that heart rate up. Stop making
excuses to yourself. Get your workout in—in the comfort of your very own home.

Your personal 30-minute power workout. The workout uses your own body weight—no machines or weights required. Viva la resistance!		Do each exercise for 1 minute
		Complete the circuit 3 times

Tricep Dips

Start by leaning on a chair or a stair with your hands next to your body. Take your butt off the bench and extend your legs out in front of you. Bend and straighten your elbows and use your body weight as your resistance. Do as many as you can. You can make the exercise more advanced by putting your heels on another chair/bench so there is no part of your body touching the ground.

Jumping Jacks

The same ones you did as a kid in gym class.

Alternating Position
Jump Squat

Jump up and bring legs out wider than shoulder width, bend knees and land softly. Jump again and bring legs close together, bend knees and land softly.

Jumping Jacks

Pushups

You can do these on your knees if you want. Just make sure your chest, shoulders and hands are all in line and you are not leaning forward. Your chest should come down towards your hands, not in front of them.

Jumping Jacks

Lunges

Keep your legs at least shoulder width apart, and make sure your knee does not go over your toes. A good way to remember the proper technique is for your back knee to move towards the ground, and your chest and back stay straight. Do 10 and switch to the other leg. Keep switching until you reach 1 minute.

Jumping Jacks

Crunches

Focus on your rib cage pulling in close to your pelvis.

LORI'S TIP TOP SHAPE TIP:
In the summer heat you can become extremely dehydrated very quickly. Did you know your metabolism slows down
if you are dehydrated? To keep that metabolism up and to help burn fat more efficiently, drink 90-120 oz of water a
day. Keep a water bottle with you at all times, and stock up around the house and in your car. If you get bored add
lemon, lime or orange slices.
