Whether you're cleaning floors or playing with the kids, you can bust out these moves from Caitlin Krause anywhere, anytime.
To Tone Everything at Once
Step 1: Stand with your feet together and your weight on your right leg, knee slightly bent. Bend forward at your hips, lifting your left leg until your body is parallel to the floor.
Step 2: Pull your abs in and squeeze your right glute as you return upright, without letting your left foot touch the floor. Do three sets of 10; repeat on the other side.
For Sturdy Knees
Stand on one leg with the other raised in front of you. Spread your arms for balance (or use a chair). Keeping your front leg up, squat down and reach for the back foot with the opposite hand. Do 10 reps; switch sides.
To Stand Taller
Start on all fours, with your abs tight and back straight. Slowly extend one leg behind you and the opposite arm forward, then bring them toward your belly until they touch. Continue for 5 to 10 reps; switch sides.
For a Strong Pelvic Floor
Lie on your back with one leg bent and the other raised, opposite hand on knee. Lift your pelvis, abs engaged. Keeping your hips still, lower the arm and leg, and bring them back. Continue for 10 reps; switch sides.
