BASIC TRAINING.


Q: I'm looking for an easy exercise that works the glutes. Any suggestions?

A: If you want to rev up your rear view, try this move at home. It will tone your glutes, upper legs, and the back of the thigh.

TOE TOUCH:

1. Stand with feet slightly apart, toes forward. Bend knees slightly and lift the right foot a few inches off the floor. Be sure your back is straight. 2. Keep the right foot off the floor and allow it to kick back as you bend forward. Bend the left knee as you reach the right hand down to touch the left toe. 3. Return to the start position. Do two sets of 8-10 on each leg.

FITNESS TIP

A little jumping can significantly increase bone density. Researchers found that jumping as high as you can 10 times, three times a week, had a 3 percent increase in hip and lower-spine density. Exercises that generate large forces such as jumping jacks stimulate bone-forming cells that cause the growth of new bone tissue. Playing basketball, volleyball or skipping are easy ways to get in your 10 jumps.
