The Beach Body Workout (Part 2)

The Beach Body Workout

 shadow-box

No. 4 Shadowbox

Stand with feet shoulder-width apart. Make fists and bend elbows to bring hands up into fighter position in front of your face, keeping elbows close to body. Alternating arms, punch straight out in front of you, then curve up, then hit low; next, try a hook punch, curving around to the side.

Mix it up—and keep moving! Move your head and shoulders back and forth as if dodging punches. Keep your knees bent and shift your weight back and forth as you bounce on the bottoms of your feet. Continue for 1 minute.

 basic-push-up

No. 5 Push-Up

Get into push-up position on the ground with feet together and arms slightly more than shoulder-width apart. Support yourself on your toes and hands, pressing your palms down; don’t lock your elbows. Your body should form a straight line from heels to head.

Bend your elbows to lower your chest toward the ground; stop when they reach 90 degrees. Push back up to starting position, then immediately begin your next rep. Do 12 reps.

 circuit-2-squat

No. 6 Squat

Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, toes facing forward, and hands gently cupping the sides of your head or up near your shoulders. With weight on heels, slowly bend knees and push hips back to lower into a squat; push your chest out slightly to counterbalance the heavy load on your heels.

When knees reach 90 degrees (keep them behind your toes), push back up through your heels to starting position. Do 12 reps.
