VIDEO WORKOUT 
WORKOUT CARD



Extreme Team,

I do this routine when I have a few minutes and need to kick my butt.

Your trainer,
Michelle



Repeat this routine 2 times 
Diagonal Leg 15 reps to Pulsing Abductor 15 reps
  • Lie face up on floor with knees bent, feet flat, hands on floor by hips.
  • Lift hips off floor and tuck left foot under right thigh, left knee pointing left.
  • Keeping hips lifted throughout, bring left knee out to left to untuck foot, then extend leg diagonally up to left.
  • Return left foot to tuck position. Do 20 reps. Switch sides and repeat.   
  • Pulsing Abductor
  • Lie on your side with both feet together, toes pointing forward, using your arms to help fix your upper body position.
  • You may wish to lay your lower arm totally straight, and rest your head on this arm.
  • Keeping your knees and toes pointing forward smoothly lift upper leg to a position of about 40 degrees.
  • Smoothly lift and lower the leg only a few inches in a controlled smooth pulsing movement.

    Note: If this is too easy add ankle weights to make it harder.

This is not an exercise chair. I just use my dining chair like this one for my workouts.
