Top 10: Drills Done Anywhere

Today's top 10 covers moves you can do in your living room, out on a run, in the gym, 
or wherever else you may find yourself working out! No equipment required, but calories
will be torched! Enjoy!

-one-
Squat Jumps

-two-

Pushups or Grasshopper Pushups
With the Grasshopper pushup, your bottom leg is perpendicular with your body, do a 
pushup, and then switch legs. AWESOME!

-three-
Curtsy Lunge
Make sure you step your foot back at an angle before you add the squat, then return to start.
Do 8-16 reps on one leg, then switch sides.

-four-
Plank or Walking Plank
Both moves engage the core and you will feel all through your upper body. If you "walk" the 
move, start in high plank (on hands) and step down to elbows, one arm at a time, 
and backup. Do eight with one arm leading, then switch lead arms.

-five-
Reverse Crunch

-six-
Burpees
Then end jump is optional. I'm happy just to stand and repeat.
Shoot for 20!

-seven-
Plie Squats
We know I'm obsessed!

-eight-
Donkey Kicks
Hands on floor, jump side to side on either 2 feet or 1 foot, (one foot looks like a messed up cartwheel!). Key here is "hang time". Try to keep in up in the air. 
You will feel this move in your whole body!

-nine-
Walking Lunge
Just don't let that knee pass your ankle!

-ten-
Frog Kicks
Knees wide, feet together. Start with the upper thighs on the ground. Control the movement  as you bring the feet up, and back to start. Great for your glutes and lower back.

We covered a lot of these moves in the post 30 Seconds of Misery found here and Ab-tastic found here.
