Hammer Toss This type of exercise targets the entire core. With proper form, resistance, and the right fitness equipment, this exercise will help tone you up. To start off, you need a 5pound medicine ball and commence the routine by standing with your feet shoulder width apart. As you hold the medicine ball with both hands, slightly bend your knees and position the ball right in front of your chest. Next, lower your hips with the ball touching the outside of your left foot. Stand up as quick as you can and bring the ball across your chest and toss it either to a fitness buddy or against the wall. In return, if you happen to have a partner, let them toss it back to you. This weight loss exercise should be repeated 10 times, and then to the other side.
Superman Variations This exercise will help you correct problem areas most specifically in your lower and upper back. What you need to do is lie flat on your stomach with your arms extended in front of you. This routine is similar to a superman flying position with your legs hipwidth and torso shoulderwidth apart. Once you already established and made yourself comfortable in that position, lift your head off the floor and look straight ahead. Next, gently raise your legs and try to hold that position for the at least 30 seconds. The variations should be as follows: Lift your right arm and left leg. After 15 to 30 counts, slowly switch sides and this time lift your left arm and right leg all at the same time.
Sumo Squat and Crunch This is a type of weight loss exercise that works almost the entire body. You need an 8 pound ball to be able to provide resistance as you perform the routine. For starters, stand with your legs wider than shoulderwidth apart. Squat while holding the ball in front of you or until your thighs are parallel to the ground. Slowly stand up with your left leg and lift your right leg out or until your right knee is far up to your shoulders and past your hip. As you do so, circle the ball clockwise so that it stops just above your right shoulder while you crunch your upper body to the right. Do 15 reps and then switch sides. Just remember not to increase the weight of the ball until you've mastered the steps and then add resistance as needed.
