THE ALL-IN-ONE WORKOUT

This five-move workout builds total-body muscle and strength and rocks your abs by turning every exercise you do, from bench presses to squats, into a stern test for your core.

- EBENEZER SAMUEL, C.S.C.S.

DIRECTIONS: Do this workout 4 days a week, resting at least 1 day between sessions. On days you rest, aim to go for a 20-minute walk or run.

WARMUP

CHILD'S POSE WITH CROSS-BODY REACH 

Start on all fours, hands directly below your shoulders. Push your butt back as far as possible, sitting on your calves. Then reach your hands forward as far as possible, decompressing your spine. Squeeze your shoulder blades as you do this. Maintain this position as you lift your left hand and thread it under your right armpit, reaching as far to the right as possible. Repeat on the other side, then return to the start. Do reps for 40 seconds, then rest 20 seconds. Do 3 sets.

WORKOUT

DIRECTIONS: Do the exercises in order. Rest 30 seconds between sets and 60 between moves. Use medium-weight dumbbells.
