" Good morning with a medicine ball. Stand with your feet about shoulder-width apart and your knees slightly bent. Holding a four- or six-pound ball in front of you and at eye level. Bend at the waist, keeping your core tight and back flat, and lower the ball toward the ground, until your torso is parallel to the floor, then pause for a second; straighten up and start again. Do 10 to 15 repetitions. Shadow boxing with dumbbells. Stand holding a pair of two- to five-pound dumbbells with your feet hip-width apart, knees soft; bend elbows 90 degrees so upper arms are in line with sides, palms facing the floor. Bring right arm up and across your body toward left shoulder in a swift punching motion, rotating palm toward your shoulder; return to the starting position and immediately repeat on the opposite side. Continue punches as quickly as you can for 30 seconds total (about 15 reps per side). Work up to one minute. Reverse crossover lunges with a wide-stance squat. This is one of Kim Raver&amp;#x27;s favorite moves. Start with your feet shoulder-width apart and your knees slightly bent. Take a large step diagonally back with your right foot, so that your foot lands in the seven o&amp;#x27;clock position, bend knees and lower into a lunge (the movement should look like a deep curtsy); immediately lift right leg and step again, this time out wide to the three o&amp;#x27;clock position, so you&amp;#x27;re in a wide stance squat with your feet turned out. Do 15 repetitions with the right leg; switch and repeat with your left leg (doing the curtsy to a four o&amp;#x27;clock position and then stepping out to the wide squat). Squat thrusts with a medicine ball. This is a move that I use with Anne Hathaway. Stand with your feet more than shoulder-width apart. Grasp a four- to six-pound medicine ball at chest level with your elbows bent and upper arms in line with sides. Bend your knees, sticking your butt back, and come down into a squat. Continue to bend your knees as you bend forward from the hips, placing the medicine ball on the floor in front of you. Press your hands into the medicine ball as you jump and extend your legs behind your body, coming into a raised push-up position. (Keep your abs tight the entire time.) Step legs forward and lift upper body to return to the starting position. Repeat 10 to 15 times. Sumo lunges with a side kick and frog jump. This is my favorite move to do with Heidi Klum--stand in a &amp;quot;sumo&amp;quot; position with your feet slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, knees bent, and your body weight over your heels. Take a large step sideways with your right leg by bringing your right knee in toward your chest and then over to the right in one continuous motion, stepping out slightly wider to the side. Then immediately bring your knee back into your chest and kick your right heel out to the side into the stomach of an imaginary opponent--that&amp;#x27;s the side kick. Now lower your right foot back to the floor and squat down while sticking your butt out. (Keep your knees in line with--not in front of--your toes.) Spring up from that squat position while thrusting your arms straight up overhead. Land on your heels, rolling forward onto your toes. Repeat the sumo lunge and side kick with your left leg and another frog jump. Continue alternating right to left until you have completed 10 lunges on each side and 20 frog jumps. Platypus walks with a medicine ball. Heidi, Kim and Anne have all used these to great effect. Grasp a medicine ball with both hands and extend your arms overhead. Squat, sticking your butt back as far as you can get it (don&amp;#x27;t let knees go past toes). Keep your core tight as you walk forward, pushing off through each heel. If you perform the move correctly, your butt and inner thighs will be on fire. Walk across the room in one direction and then walk backward to where you started. Repeat no fewer than five times. Jumping jacks with shoulder press. Standing with your feet hip-width apart, knees soft, hold three- to five-pound dumbbells at your shoulders, palms out and elbows tucked in by sides. Jump your feet out wide as you press the dumbbells straight up overhead. Bring your feet back together as you lower the dumbbells. Repeat 20 to 30 times. Leg scissors. These are great for Heidi, Kim and Anne. Sit with your legs straight out in front of you, your hands about a foot behind your buttocks, fingers pointing forward. Lean back slightly, creating a 45-degree angle between your torso and the floor. Bend your knees and bring them in toward your chest so that you can stabilize your core. Extend your legs until they form a 45-degree angle with the floor (so your body forms a &amp;quot;v&amp;quot;). Scissor your legs back and forth, alternating bringing your right leg over your left and left over your right, as you move them up and down an imaginary ladder as high as you can. Then move back down the ladder, scissoring as low as you can without touching the floor. Continue to scissor your legs for 30 seconds.
