Move of the Evening: Stability Ball Ab Pike
Works your core!
Start in push-up position with your shins resting on a stability ball (A). Brace your abs and keep your legs straight as you raise your hips toward the ceiling, drawing the ball toward your arms (B). Hold for 1 second and roll back to start.

WHY STEP IT UP?

1. CARDIO:  Stepping up and onto something gets your heart rate climbing. Step-ups will help you burn more calories during strength training sessions, so add step-ups between sets of ab and arm work to keep your heart rate up.

 2. BOOTY LIFT:  Step-ups work your backside. Step-ups are the perfect cure for a 'droopy butt'.  I think they will left your mood as they are lifting your derriere.


3. HILL CLIMBING:  If you run or bike, you know hills can be tough, but strength training helps. Step-ups mimic the action of running and biking, preparing your muscles to climb.  Consider step-ups part of your cross training.
