After my workout yesterday I was thinking to myself.
What did I just do?
This guy that pumped iron in the gym with weights for 15 years is now doing something that resembles a Ballerina’s workout.
What made me think of this was the exercise called Relevé-Plié.
I don’t know what Tony Horton was thinking when he created this one.
It’s basically squats with a dumbbell while you are on your tipy toes.
Yeah I did that.
I’m amazed how many exercises I’ve done that are out of the norm.
It’s a great NEW way to challenge yourself.
The workout also has a lot of moves on one leg that make you focus on balance and your core.
Here are a few you can try if you are looking to add a bit more core to your workout.
Start with light or no weights
- Shoulder press on one foot
- one leg squats
- bicep curls or hammer curls on one leg
- bent over flys on one leg
You’ll improve your balance and core.
Don’t blame me if you’re sore tomorrow.
