I found this exercise when Fitness magazine did an article on how "Sex and the City" actress Kristin Davis stays in shape and I love it! Plus, who doesn't want to look like her! It's easy to do, targets multiple areas of the body, and is a great take off on your everyday jumping jacks. You only need about 3 or 5 lb weights in each hand. Motherly advice...be careful with this exercise if you have bad knees!
1. Start with your feet together, a weight in each hand, and elbows bent so the weights are at shoulder level, and the palms are facing each other.
2. Jump fee out to the sides, landing with wide feet, as you press the dumbbells overhead to form a V shape with your arms. (at right)
3. Lower weight to shoulders as you jump your feet together
I would do about 15 reps of this. It will get your heart going and your muscles burning! Rest for 30 seconds and do another round of 15.
Enjoy!!
