Hi,
I'm
nancy
shaw
with
healthy
living
today.
I'd
like
to
talk
and
show
you
some
body
weight,
training
exercises
you
can
do
in
your
workouts,
who
needs
a
gym
when
you
can
work
out
at
home
in
your
living
room
body.
Weight
training
can
help
improve
strength,
balance
and
flexibility
without
the
use
of
machines
or
going
to
a
gym,
they're
easy.
You
can
do
them
on
vacation.
You
can
do
them
at
home
without
any
special
equipment.
A
There
are
a
lot
of
variety
of
body
weight,
training
exercises,
including
cardio
exercises
and
various
strength,
training
workouts
that
you
can
do
to
improve
your
total
body
workouts.
Today,
I'd
like
to
show
you
some
of
those
exercises
I'll
be
showing
you
some
cardio
and
strength
training
exercises
to
get
a
total
body
workout.
You
might
want
to
do
some
cardio,
alternating
with
some
strength
exercises.
A
A
If
you
want
to
make
it
a
little
harder,
we
can
balance
first
of
all
on
one
leg
again
remembering
that
balance
is
such
an
important
part
of
our
workout
and
then
just
taking
it
down
to
a
one-legged.
Squat,
definitely
feel
the
challenge
by
taking
it
to
one
leg,
to
even
increase
that
squat
or
the
difficulty
of
that
squat,
taking
it
down
trying
to
keep
that
balance
as
we
go
a
little
deeper.
A
A
Another
great
cardio
exercise.
We've
all
done
these
way
back
in
school
is
the
good
old
burpee.
The
burpees
are
coming
back
into
a
lot
of
our
exercise
classes.
It's
a
very
functional
exercise.
Just
reaching
up
coming
down
extending
the
legs
out
in
and
jumping
up.
We
can
always
add
that
push-up
at
the
bottom,
so
we
can
be
here
here-
jump
push
up,
jump
in
and
jump
up.
A
A
A
Of
course,
we
can't
forget
about
the
push-up.
Push-Up
is
one
of
the
best
upper
body
exercises
for
body
weight
training.
We
do
a
lot
of
push-ups
in
classes
here
at
the
community
center.
So
with
the
correct
push-up,
you
want
your
hands
wider
than
shoulder
distance
apart
and
there's
a
lot
of
variations
on
the
push-up.
So
if
you
want
to
really
focus
on
the
chest,
hands
will
be
a
little
wider.
A
Definitely
is
a
great
chest:
workout
we
can
move
to
the
triceps
by
just
doing
a
variation
of
that
push-up
by
having
the
hands
narrow
under
the
shoulders.
So
we're
here
eyes
are
down.
Elbows
are
just
going
to
sweep
the
body
and
come
down
and
push
up
again
focus
changes
from
the
chest
to
the
tricep
on
that
one.
A
Here,
drawing
the
navel
into
the
spine
is
a
great
one,
and
from
here
we
can
take
it
to
our
bicycle
rotating
the
shoulder
towards
that
knee
and
extending
that
leg
out
to
the
floor
to
work
those
obliques.
We
can
take
it
to
the
side,
hover
or
side
plank,
I'm
going
to
start
with
the
hover.
We
can
either
stack
those
feet,
one
on
top
of
the
other
or
bend
that
bottom
knee.
A
A
So
for
a
little
more
challenge,
we
can
take
it
to
a
full
plank
side
plank
where,
again,
our
hand
is
under
our
shoulder
and
we're
extended
up
and
just
holding.
You
can
add
a
little
challenge
here.
Also
by
lifting
that
top
leg
and
holding
well
balance
work
a
lot
of
core
work.
It's
a
very
good,
challenging
move.
A
These
are
just
some
of
the
exercises
and
body
weight,
training
that
you
can
do
at
home
on
vacation
or
away
from
the
gym
a
lot
of
body
weight.
Training
exercises
are
used
in
classes
here
at
the
community
center.
