- Exhale as you straighten your legs and use your abs pulling toward the sky to initiate the motion
- Come into a full crouched position with your heels raised
- Inhale as you bend your knees

- Focus on the glutes and hamstrings lifting the leg
- Keep your core engaged
- Do not let your back sway to lift your leg
Print It: Total Body Yoga Flow
If don't have the time or money to make it to a studio for a yoga class, you can practice yoga on your own. My Total Body Yoga Flow Sequence is a nine-posture series that will work your legs, core, and upper body. It's a great sequence to do after a run, in the morning to warm up, or in the afternoon for a pick-me-up.

Get It Up, Your Heart Rate, That Is: StepMill Intervals
At my gym, the StepMill is usually vacant. You know — the cardio machine that resembles a mini-escalator. It is large and intimidating; plus, it's hard to cheat when working out on a StepMill.
I Tried It: Shape's "Drop 10 Pounds This Month" Circuit Workout
I like to head to the gym with a plan of action so I don't unconsciously skip some difficult exercise that I have not yet learned to love. I printed out Shape magazine's workout and headed to the gym.
The workout, from the article Drop 10 Pounds This Month, promised to burn 400 calories in 30 minutes.
