The Joy of Exercise

Moving on muscle upwards, it’s time to hit the buttocks muscle and front of the thigh. The balancing arm muscle action used will help you to maintain a good body alignment while also working your chest and upper back muscle.

Stand with your feet hip-width apart and arms out to your sides with the palms facing the front. Gently shift your weight over on to your left foot muscle and extend your right leg behind you until it touches the bottom with the ball of the foot. As you do so, draw your arms in front of you until your hands touch, before returning both top and bottom half to the start again. Repeat on the left.

• Contract those stomach muscles on the backward movement.
• Keep your weight forward when you extend your leg muscle. (The arm action helps you do this.)
• Avoid pressing your heel down to the pool floor.
• Squeeze those buttocks when you step back; lead with the top of the thigh when you return to the start again.
• Control the movement — both in and out.

`Tone’ is a slight tension in your muscles, giving them shape and definition.

Muscle Progressions

• Repeat the muscle action up to eight times in succession on each side.
• Increase the muscle speed — without losing control.
• Increase the depth of your lunge and develop the return phase into a controlled knee lift, your arms muscle again balancing the action by sweeping backwards slightly as your foot moves forwards. Hold those stomach muscles strong.

Cardio: the skier Muscle Building

From a balanced starting position, bounce with both feet muscle to right and left as if parallel skiing down a mountain, even drawing your hands backwards and forwards as if holding on to your poles.

Muscle Progressions

• Keep your upper body muscle fairly square to the front as your bottom half rotates from side to side if you wish to focus on your oblique muscles a bit more.
• Dig in, really bending your knees and springing upwards if it’s your thighs muscle you wish to work more.
