Skiing

Hit the slopes! Well, not exactly, but you can go skiing for exercise even without all that gear.

Cross-country skiers have excellent arm and leg endurance, as do ski walkers. Using a light-to-moderate intensity (thickness) rubber tube attached at shoulder level, stand with feet shoulder-width apart. Hold the tubing with arms extended and hands gripping each end at your sides. Then, perform a stationary reverse lunge in a cycling manner, while simultaneously alternate pulling with each extended arm. Repeat by facing away from the tubing anchor, which is now placed in a low position. Perform and stationary forward lunges with alternating arm movements. Try 10 lunges in each direction.

Watch Mackie and April demo this move below.
