When the days get cooler, it’s always more tempting to skip out on your morning workout plan to stay in your cozy climate-controlled apartment a little longer. Which is why it’s always great to have a backup plan that doesn’t require, *gasp,* leaving your house at all. Here, we consulted celebrity trainer and Tiptalk fitness expert Alicia Marie—author of The Booty Bible and co-creator of the 30 Day Butt Lift—on toning and strengthening exercises we can pencil into our morning routine, without having to push back our commute or slip on a fancy sports bra.
1. STANDING TWIST AND ALTERNATE KNEE RAISE
Equipment Needed: Weight plate or ball
Directions: Stand up straight with your feet placed a little more than shoulder width apart and with a 10-15 pound weight plate in your hands, square in front of your torso. With your pelvis tucked under, twist your torso to the right bringing your right knee up toward the weight. Contract your abdominals and twist your torso back to center, returning your foot to the floor. Complete 15 “standing twist crunches” per side, then change sides for a total of 3 sets. Finish all reps on one side before beginning reps on the other.
