Today's work out

30 minutes of cardio (Today I will use the elliptical machine, but I try to change it up each time.)

Lower Body: 

One legged Squats (4 sets of 10 each leg)

The slower the better on these and keep your core tight as you squat. 

Half Ball Squats (4 sets of 15)

The slower the better! (To up the difficulty hold weights in your hands when squatting) 

Be sure to keep your core tight when doing these! Adding the 1/2 ball to your leg work outs adds the balance element that tones and tightens more muscles and increases the difficulty. 

Step-Ups (2 minutes, twice-4 minutes total)

Be sure to rest at least 2 minutes between each set, keep moving and stretching but don't sit down! For the first 2 minutes, start with your right leg, for the second 2 minutes start with your left leg. 

Calf Raises (4 sets of 10 each leg)

For an easier method, stand on the floor, or keep both feet on the block.
