Rope Jumping

Exercise Rating
10/10

Feb 18, 2012 5:55 AM: I just started using the jump rope before my workouts and I am really glad I did! It gets the heart pumping, great for cardiovascular and has really helped define the muscles in my legs. If your someone who can't get the heartbeat going before a good workout, then I recommend using the jump rope.

Alternate Heel Touchers

Exercise Rating
10/10

Feb 15, 2012 9:50 AM: For those complaining this move is for beginners, it's not. If it's feeling too easy, you're either using momentum to get your reps in or your upper torso is too high. You should be feeling it more in your obliques, intercoastals, and serratus. If, however, you have complete control in your motion...+See More

10/10

Feb 14, 2012 2:40 PM: This may not feel like much at first, but it WORKS the hamstrings! A little less weight the first time you do it will probably help in the long run.

Kettlebell Figure 8

Exercise Rating
9/10

Feb 14, 2012 7:34 AM: Great exercise as a finisher after a leg workout. Best if you do it standing on the flat side of a Bosu ball and stay in a low squat. By about 10 reps per side, you will see the Bosu start wobbling because your stabilizers are getting so fried. Try 3 sets of 10 with fairly heavy ball.

Seated Palm-Up Barbell Wrist Curl

Exercise Rating
10/10

Feb 12, 2012 7:13 AM: A must for anyone who wants to build forearm size. For extra burn, let the bar roll down to your finger-tips at the bottom of the motion. This forces you to curl your fingers up on the upwards movement, using the finger flexors in the forearm too. Therefore, you will build greater size and strength...+See More

Flat Bench Lying Leg Raise

Exercise Rating
9/10

Feb 11, 2012 5:38 AM: The single best lower abs exercise. The bench isn't necessary; you can do these just as well on the floor, as long as you don't let your legs rest on the floor at the bottom of the movement. Perform each rep slowly and keep those abs tight. If you can't reach failure in 12 reps, add some weight (dumbbell...+See More

Seated Leg Curl

Exercise Rating
8/10

Feb 7, 2012 7:01 AM: I workout from home so I have to get creative with some of the exercises. For a seated leg curl I use
"GOLDS GYM POWER STATION".. Attach to the bottom of the door and attach ankle strap to my ankle. I then proceed with a standing one leg hamstring curl.

Feb 4, 2012 10:44 PM: 1. Make sure not to bend your wrist when grabbing the bark.
2. Do not lock your knees out like the guy in the video.
3. Do listen to the narrator when instructs to "maintain a straight posture with the head up" but you don't want to be looking at the ceiling either. ...+See More
