No Dead Weight

Melania Trump says she wears ankle weights while she walks around the house, an easy way to add weight resistance without much effort.

Pilates

2-3x a week

Z

The Hundred

Lying on back, legs raised and knees bent (beginner), straight up (intermediate) or straight and lowered at an angle (advanced), pump arms besides the body for 100 breaths, inhaling for 5 quick breaths, followed by exhaling a quick 5.

Z

The Roll Up

Lie flat on back, legs out straight, arms overhead, pointing at the wall behind you. The low back should be as flat on the mat as possible. Inhale as you raise your arms up. When your arms reach your ears, tuck the chin into the chest, gaze focused on the bellybutton. Exhale, contract the abs and reach for your toes. Inhale, head still tucked, arms and legs straight, and roll back toward the floor. When you are about halfway, exhale and return to the starting position. This is a controlled move. Try to do this exercise to a count of 8 up, and then 8 back down. Start with 5 reps and work your way up to 10 or more. A single roll up is considered to be as effective as 6 sit-ups, and more likely to result in flat abs.

Z

The Single Leg Stretch

Lie on your back, low back flat on mat. Bring both knees toward your chest & put hands on shins. Lift head and tuck the chin into the chest. Extend 1 leg straight out at the lowest angle you can manage without the low back lifting off the floor. Alternate sides, doing 8-12 reps/side. You can increase the difficulty of this exercise by alternating the speed, doing 4 quick and then 2 slow.

Z

The Teaser

Sit on mat, knees bent. Straighten legs and raise arms overhead to form a V with body. Hold position for 5 breath cycles, then release. Repeat 3x. Beginners can start by keeping 1 foot on the floor. Alternate sides.
