Exercise of the Week: Reach and Press (Nov 7, 2008)
By Inshape | November 7, 2008
Reach and Press
This is a great way to close a cardio circuit, because it stimulates muscle fibers throughout your upper leg, works your core, and promotes balance. We’ve included it in our Halloween Hangover (Pyramid) Workout and suggest that you will include it in your exercise routine twice a week.
Stand with your feet hip-width apart and your arms at your sides. Bend your left knee, lifting your foot behind you. Squat down and raise your right arm out to the side to shoulder height, then reach your left hand down across your body, touching the floor outside your right toes (A). Stand up as you lift your left hand toward the ceiling, lower your right arm to your side, and raise your left thigh to hip level in front of you (B). Lower your left leg and repeat on the other side.
