Turkey Day Training!
1. THE ROTATING TURKEY
Start in plank position, but rest on your elbows instead of your hands. Keeping your abs engaged, slowly swivel the hips underneath you to the right. Feel your obliques driving this motion as you swivel to the other side with a slow, controlled motion.
2. LEG CASSEROLE
Holding a dumbbell in each hand, step your left foot directly behind you, taking a wide stance, and bend your legs, lowering your torso down into a lunge. Feel your weight in your right (front) heel as you push yourself to standing. As you return to standing, do a tricep kickback: Reach your arms back behind you and extend, feeling a squeeze in the tricep.
3. THE GOBBLER
Stand with dumbbells in each hand in hammerhead position, with palms facing each other. Step out to the right side, with a wide stance. Bend the right leg and lower your hips down as you keep the left leg straight out to the side. Pressing off the right foot, keeping your core engaged, push yourself back up to standing. As you return to standing, curl the weights up toward your shoulders, squeezing the muscles on the front of the arms for a bicep curl.
4. DEVILED LEGGS
Rest dumbbells on your hips as you place your left foot behind you. Instead of stepping directly back, the left foot should move diagonally back, with the back knee bending down directly outside the right foot. Squat down with the right leg. As you return to standing, bring the left foot forward, landing with a wide stance. Punch the right hand across your body, toward the left wall, allowing your right foot to rotate as your torso twists to the left, engaging your right glute.
5. CARDIO PIE
Squat down to rest both hands on the floor. Jump both legs at the same time into a plank position. If advanced, do a pushup. Return to standing, and reach up to the sky. If advanced, jump up!
