When it comes to health, it�s easy to use your weight or appearance as an indicator of your overall fitness. But many people overlook an important gauge of being in shape: strength! A truly fit person is strong throughout their entire body, not just in one area or muscle. If you�re looking to get powerful, try the 4 moves in this quick total-body workout. It�s the ultimate bang for your buck!
1. Curtsy jump lunge
From a neutral standing position, push off your left foot and jump to your right side, landing on your right foot. Cross your left leg behind your right, and lower into a curtsy lunge in one fluid motion.
Push up out of the lunge, and jump to your left side, crossing your right leg behind your left and lowering into a curtsy lunge. Repeat this motion side to side, making sure your legs are both at 90 degree angles when you lunge. Do 20 seconds of lunges, and rest for 10 seconds. Repeat this pattern 3 times.
2. Diagonal burpee
From a standing position, bring your hands to the ground and kick your feet back and to the side so that you�re in a diagonal plank. Do a pushup. Jump your feet back up toward your hands, and return to a standing position.
Do another burpee, this time jumping your feet in the opposite direction. Do 20 seconds of diagonal burpees, followed by a 10 second break. Repeat this pattern 3 times. If you find full burpees too challenging, try doing knee pushups or skip the pushups all together.
