Still looking for that something-something to tweak your fitness routine? Try these simple alterations to the same ol' same ol':
Squats: 1 1/4 Squat- stand with feet hip width apart and push back into a regular squat. Rise up and pause at a quarter of the way; pause. Go back down to parallel before fulling rising. That's one rep.
Lunge: Twisting Lunge- Stand with hands behind ears and step left leg forward; lunge down and at the bottom of the movement, twist the torso left, hold for one second. Return to starting position and alternate legs for repetitions.
Chest Press: Internally Rotating Chest Press- lie on a bench or on floor, knees bent and holding a dumbbell in each hand. Bend elbows with palms facing each other. Press straight up, rotating arms at the top so that thumbs come together and palms face forward. Rotate palms back to the down position.
Crunch: 60 Degree Crunch- Place a rolled bath towel under your lower back as you lie on floor. Bend knees, keeping feet flat. Crunch up as high as you can while pressing the lower back into the towel. Pause at the top for two seconds, repeat.
Sleep: Set your alarm clock so that you don't sleep in on Saturday and Sunday! Make time for exercise and eating three to six healthy meals on the weekends (rather than "saving up" for brunch, skipping dinner, binging on unhealthy snacks, etc).
