The 7 moves you need for a workout (plus a tutu of course)

Exercise is really pretty simple when you break it down. There are really only 7 movements that you can do.

There are hundreds of variations on these 7 movements, but they all get back to this basic format.

So many of the magazines and articles you see on fitness make it so complicated! To create a well balanced workout (where all the muscles get worked) you just need 7 movements.

No fancy equipment needed, other than maybe a tutu.

I fully support a woman's right to do whatever she wants in a tutu. Just in case you were wondering where I stood on the tutu controversy.

These 7 movements are:

1.Push

2. Pull

3. Squat

4. Lunge

5. Bend

6. Twist

7. Step (walk, run, jump)

You can easily build an efficient workout for the gym or home. Here is an example:

Do each exercise for 30 seconds, rest 30 seconds, then move on to the next exercise. Go through the list 3 times total.

1. Pushups

2. Rows

3. Squats

4. Walking lunges

5. Deadlifts

6. Torso twists

7. High knees run in place

In 21 minutes you have worked your body from head to toe, burned calories, and built strength.
