Side Lunge and Bow

This two-in-one strength moves targets your inner and outer thighs, hips, glutes, and back.

How to do it: Start standing with feet together, hands behind your head. Brace your abs in tight, and as you do a side lunge to the right, bow forward, hinging at your hips, bringing your chest almost parallel to the floor. Push off your right leg and return to start position. Repeat, changing legs each time, for 1 minute.

Be sure to keep your back naturally straight and your abs engaged during the entire movement.
