Your Get-Fit Regimen

 

Mountain Climbers

(for butt, legs and core)
A. (inset) Get into plank position with your hands on a bench or low chair and feet on the floor."]

 Four to five times per week, do any of the following 35-minute workouts. The levels below are based on a scale of 1 to 10, where 1 is kicking back on the couch and 10 is pushing so hard you’re gasping for breath. (No 10s here, no worries.) After each workout, cool down at a slow pace for 5 minutes.
