YOUR BEST SWEAT
You’ve worked your upper body,
now it’s time to get your lower
half in order. With legs slightly
wider than shoulder-width, clasp
a kettlebell in front of your chest
(A). Bend your knees and lower
into a squat so your thighs run
parallel to the floor (B). Drive
up and repeat. Holding the
weight in front of you will tax
your core as well as your legs
as you try to keep balance.Make your way over to the TRX
suspension straps, where you’ll
be rowing your way to a V-tapered
back using only your bodyweight.
Grab hold of the handles and
walk yourself out so your arms
are straight (A). Raise your
body, drawing your shoulders
back and squeezing your lats
as you bring your chest forward
to the top of the movement (B).
Slowly lower and repeat.06

TRX BODY ROW
60 SECONDS
Adding weight to direct core
work will force your abs to grow
stronger, so come beach season
you’ll have a more defined torso.
Sit holding the medicine ball with
arms extended and feet raised
from the ground. Twist your
torso from left (A) to right (B)
for an assault on your obliques,
remembering to breathe out with
each rotation. Do the full circuit
once more, then crawl to the exit.08
