Leg Up's will work your abs, lower back and butt. Don't start with too many of these if you've never worked your lower back extensively! . . . keep reading
Lower Body Exercises: Lunges
Lunges build strength in your lower body as well as give you a great cardiovascular workout!

The wall chair is an exercise that will leave your quads burning if you have the staying power to keep at it!

"First Off, I love your newsletter! It always has some pretty cool tips and its definitely not like most of the emails I get! Its so fun to see an email from someone other than my Bank with my monthly statement! Your Healthy Travel newsletter could not have come at a better time! I just booked my flight for Ireland! So being healthy is one of my major concerns especially being on a long flight! I look forward to the next couple of segments on Healthy Travel and it never crossed my mind that I should drink extra water the couple of days before my trip! Thanks for all your helpful ideas- it has helped motivate me to get back in shape!"

Your website is really amazing. I just subscribed to the site. I think what you guys are doing is..well I have to be honest... AWESOME... no pun intended. It's really a revolutionary approach to eating well. I think what is also amazing is how you build these efficiencies in the process of eating healthy and staying in shape.

"Hi Kevin, Your idea of counting exercise activity in terms of "hours per week" versus "days per week" changes my whole outlook. It is a wonderful concept. I am going to step it into action right away. Keep on! You are terrific!"
