EXERCISE OF THE MONTH: DECEMBER.

Plie

TIPTOE PLIÉ SQUAT

Benefits:
Targets your inner thighs with a ballet-inspired move. Going on tiptoes also tones your calves, and strengthens your glutes.

How to do it:

  • Stand with your feet wider than shoulder-width apart, with your toes pointed out at 45°.
  • Engage your core and hold your arms in front of your chest for balance.
  • Lift your heels off the floor and squat, keeping your knees above your ankles. Pause, then squeeze your glutes to stand up and slowly lower your heels.
  • Start with 2 sets of 15 reps. This can be increased as you improve.
