Maximize your toning workout by combining moves
Combining strength training exercises allows for a more intense, but shorter duration workout.
Maximize your strength training by combining moves to hit more muscle groups at the same time. Be sure you have great form and use a lighter weight than you would normally use. Here are some combos that work well together:
- Wall squat with a stability ball and a dumbbell overhead press - works quads, hamstrings, glutes, shoulders and triceps.
- Bridge on floor or stability ball with dumbbell chest fly - works hamstrings, glutes, abdominals, lower back and chest.
- Lunge with a bicep curl - works quads, hamstrings, glutes and biceps
- Plie squat and upright row - works inner thigh, trapezious(upper back), shoulder, biceps
- One legged standing calf raise with overhead tricep extention - calves, triceps
