Do you want that sexy bod?  You all know regular exercise is the best way to get the body of your dreams.  Nothing is free in this world but this dream is definitely achievable.  All you need is a medicine ball, comfy clothes and determination.

Do each exercise for 30 seconds then take a break for one minute.  Repeat the circuit, this time performing each move for 45 seconds.  Rest for 90 seconds, then repeat once more, doing each move for 60 seconds.

 

1. Side-To-Side Shuffle

2. Overhead Lunge Walk

3. Medicine Ball 180 degrees

Rotate your torso away from the wall slightly, then rotate forcefully towards it, throwing the ball at the wall and slightly behind you.  Turn around and catch the ball, then repeat the move in the opposite direction.

 

 

 

 

 

4. Push-Up Shuffle
