SUMMER SHAPE UP—PART TWO
THE RETURN OF THE ULTIMATE MILF WORKOUT

Summer Shape Up 2

Just when you thought you had mastered your workout.... she's baaaack.
Yes, our resident health and fitness guru Lori Sawyer is back to pump
you up—physically, mentally and emotionally. Are you ready to be the
summer's hottest blockbuster?

Now that you are just getting comfortable with last month's heart-pumping
workout, it's time to charge up your routine. You do want results, right?
Your body gets used to doing the same workout over and over again, so it's best to change your routine monthly (or at least every six weeks).

For your latest butt and gut-busting workout, add a new piece of equipment to your workout gear: the medicine ball. This intense medicine ball workout is a great way to strengthen your core and while giving your body a brand new way to burn, sculpt and tone). Make sure you don't use a ball that's too heavy for you—or too light.

THE WARM-UP

	One minute of jumping jacks
	One minute of squats
	One minute of jumping jacks

THE WORKOUT

	One minute of medicine ball oblique twists Sitting down and holding ball, twist from side to side keeping your chest up and your back straight. You must keep your abs tight and maintain good form. For an advanced twist, balance on one heel and then work your way to raising both legs off ground.
	One minute or two two sets of 20 (10 on each leg) plyometric lunges with a medicine ball and windmill overhead Once you have mastered the basic lunge, you can add a plyometric (jumping) component. Begin with a basic lunge and bring the medicine ball overhead from the side of your back leg to the side of your front leg. Then jump into a plyometric lunge by switching legs. Make sure you have good stability and your legs are at least shoulder width apart. Bring ball overhead to opposite leg. Repeat 10 times on each leg.
	One minute of overhead presses using medicine ball Stand with your feet shoulder width apart and your knees slightly bent. Push the medicine ball over your head and being it back down to your chest.
	One minute of single leg forward lunges with a lateral medicine ball twist Start with your feet shoulder width apart and step into a lunge position. Bring arms straight out in front of you and twist your abdominal area to the back leg. Bring arms back to center and step back to shoulder width. Repeat on opposite leg.
	One minute of abdominal press using medicine ball Lying on your back, hold the medicine ball straight over your head. Press medicine ball to ceiling contracting upper abdominals. Keep neck relaxed and focus on pushing ball up with abs. To advance this exercise, bring legs up to a 90-degree position and push low back into the floor.
	Medicine ball pushup (do as many as you can) Lay ball on ground in front of you and begin in a push-up position. If you cannot do a full pushup with proper form, then you can do this exercise on your knees. Push up with one hand on ball. Roll the ball to other hand and repeat the push up.
	One minute of medicine ball skater touches Place the ball in front of you, legs in a “skating position.”. Touch ball on floor and “skate” side to side. Keep your back straight and knees bent. Make sure your rear end is out.
	One minute of single leg reverse lunges Begin with legs in a shoulder width position. Arms are up in the air holding the medicine ball. Step back into a lunge and rotate the medicine ball down the leg that is lunging back.
	One minute or two sets of twenty medicine ball toss with a plea squat Plea squat position, toss ball up and jump in air. Your feet should come together on the toss, and back to pile position on the catch.
	One minute of alternating forward lunge with a tricep extension holding medicine ball Hold the medicine ball behind your head with your elbows in and hands at your ears. Step into a forward lunge position and raise the ball overhead. As you step back into a neutral position, bring ball back behind your head. Repeat on opposite leg.
