Strength Training Moves to Try

I'm feeling so bored with my strength training routine lately, so I asked FitSugar readers to share their favorite moves so I could spice up my workouts. Here are some you suggested, and I can't wait to try them out.

• RunnerLeash1 says, "I like the curtsy lunge . . . I especially like to do it backwards, really works the sides of my butt!"
• "Medicine ball chops and squats!" — michlny
• GlowingMoon is all about classic moves like deadlifts, crunches, chest flies, bent-over rows, shoulder presses, and biceps curls, because they're "simple and effective." But her all-time favorite move is the push-up.
• TiVo loves back moves like "the seated cable row."
• "Walking lunges always work for me." — tlsgirl
• Advah is a fan of squats and "the plank."
• Aside from push-ups (she's up to 60 a day!), Spectra says "Also, I love doing planks where you rest your elbows on a stability ball and have your feet on the ground. Those will really kill your abs!"
• Meowphotog says "Hanging knee raises rock your abs, so I love them."
• Reader lydialee_home loves these three moves: clean and press, plank, and push-ups.

You all really like strength training, so to learn more of your fave moves keep on reading.

• MandeeLei says "Any type of squat. I also love pull-ups/dips, chest press, and military press. Push-ups of course. I stick to the basic moves and focus on form and lifting heavy."
• "I'm a big fan of the side plank." — imLissy
• Try this move suggested by jultritz: "Upside-down Bosu squats with hand weights are great all-over strengthening. To take them to the next level, I will alternate arms straight out in front, tossing the hand weight back and forth while doing squats."
• Kaliden says "I love Turkish get ups. The way my core feels afterward, I'm ready to kick butt!"
