8 Minutes in the Morning

DAY 5

by Jorge Cruise


Exercise A: Calves


Standing Raise
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Hold a dumbbell in each hand at your sides with your arms extended but not locked. Keep your chest out, your shoulder blades rolled back and down, and your abs tight. Exhale as you slowly lift your heels and rise onto your toes. Hold for 1 second. Inhale as you slowly lower.


Exercise B: Butt


Kick-up
Kneel on all fours with your knees hip-width apart, your hands slightly wider apart than your shoulders, and your fingers pointing forward. Raise your right leg until your thigh is in line with your torso. Exhale as you slowly push your foot toward the ceiling. Once you've reached your maximum contraction, hold for 1 second. Inhale as you slowly lower your leg until it is once again in line with your torso. Do one set with your right leg, then switch sides.
