Add a pushup to the Squat Thrust and you have a serious whole body workout. If you can do 100 it's like a marathon for all your muscles! (Though 6-10 is extremely sufficient!)
- Start by standing, feet shoulder width apart ball at your wiast.
- Drop to a crouch placing the ball on the floor.
- Lower your chest to the ball (just like a pushup.)
- Push back up.
- Spread your legs.
- Bring your legs back together.
- Return to crouch.
- Stand up.
- Repeat.
