Get Up Off Your Arse…

I watched my friend Tracey do this at the gym today and it is a good one! This will target your hamstrings and glutes with a bit for your quads thrown in for good measure. It is also great for balance and stability!

Begin seated on a chair or bench with your feet flat on the floor. Extend your right leg out in front of you. Press through the heel of your left foot and with the strength of your glutes and hamstrings, don’t use your arms; come to stand on your left leg. Keep your leg extended and return to seated. Repeat for a series of 8 to 12repetitions and switch legs.

If this is too easy, grab a set of dumbbells and don’t forget to breathe!
