♦ ♦ Place heels slightly further than shoulder width & turn your toes out to 45°. ♦ ♦ Lower into a squat, with your chest up, back straight & knees pointing to your toes. ♦ ♦ When you’ve reached the bottom of the squat (knees at 90° or just below) power up into the air, jumping nice & high. ♦ ♦ Land again into a sumo squat, without locking your knees. Repeat.

♦ ♦ Start in push-up position on your hands & toes.

♦ ♦ Stand with one foot on top of a bench (your whole foot - not just your toes). ♦ ♦ Using the power of your raised (front) leg, stand up as if walking up stairs, raising your back knee to your chest. ♦ ♦ Slowly lower using the strength of your glutes. Repeat.

♦ ♦ Using your abs & hip flexors, bring one knee towards your opposite elbow in a diagonal motion. ♦ ♦ Return to your starting position & repeat with the opposite leg. ♦ ♦ Starting slowly, turn this into a fast motion. Keep your body flat, core switched on & ensure the moving leg doesn’t touch the ground.

♦ ♦ Start in sumo squat with both hands close to your chest, holding dumbbell upright. ♦ ♦ Lower into the squat (knees at 90° or a bit lower), pointing your knees toward your toes. ♦ ♦ Raise up by pushing through the heels of your feet, keeping your knees wide & body upright.

STRAIGHT Leg Jackknifes with one dumbbell (or medicine ball) x 20 REPS ♦ ♦ Assume starting position by lying on your back with your legs straight & feet together. Hold dumbbell with both hands over your head. ♦ ♦ Sit up with the dumbbell held straight-armed, raise your legs at the same time. ♦ ♦ Hold one dumbbell in each hand at your side, bend your elbows & curl the dumbbells towards your chest (hammer curl). Keep your elbows close to your sides. ♦ ♦ Push the dumbbells above your head, fully extending your arms & lower the dumbbells in the reverse motion. ♦ ♦ Bend at hips & knees to place dumbbells on the ground. ♦ ♦ Stand up with correct posture. Repeat. TIP FOR ADDED PUSH-UP: Jump your feet behind your body to land in a safe push-up position (don’t let your hips sink when you land with your feet). LORNAJANE.COM.AU

♦ ♦ Using your abs, sit up until the dumbbell almost touches your toes & slowly lower to starting position. ♦ ♦ Tap your heels & dumbbell on the ground. Repeat.

Tip for Beginners: Instead of straight legs, bend your knees & pull them to your chest while sitting up with the dumbbell. Don’t reach too far, the goal is to crunch to your knees, not reach out over them.
