6 Slam Ball Exercises for Stronger Legs and Glutes
Tighten and tone your glutes and booty with these inventive weighted ball exercises.
This is a partial workout. You can find the rest of the moves at Life by Daily Burn.
When you look at a slam ball, leg and glute exercises may not be the first thing that comes to mind. But incorporating this soft weighted ball into your booty routine will work your lower half hard. Weak hamstrings, glutes and hips can lead to knee and back pain. So if you’re looking for a way to strengthen these muscles, while building power, the slam ball can kill two birds with one big, squishy ball.
Gerren Liles, PROJECT by Equinox master trainer and Reebok ONE Elite ambassador likes to use it for a quick leg workout. “The slam ball is a simple tool that allows you to move in multiple dimensions and directions, and can serve as a load to develop strength and power,” Liles says.
In addition to tightening and toning, the slam ball creates an unstable environment that forces your body to work harder to balance weight. (Stability challenge, anyone?) And because you’ll move in different planes of motion, you’ll work your core, legs and arms, too.
“The ball can be used as a prop to challenge your stability, as you’ll see in the Bulgarian squat and soccer tap drill. It can also be used as a form of resistance in the squat with front push and hamstring curls,” Liles explains. Check out just how versatile this space-efficient piece of equipment can be in the six exercises below.

6 Slam Ball Exercises That Build Lower-Body Strength
These moves will not only blast your lower half, they’ll help improve your ankle mobility, agility and reflexes. Add some intensity, and they’ll get your heart rate up, too, Liles says. Do 8 to 10 reps of each exercise for two sets.

1. Bulgarian Squat
This variation of the squat challenges your balance. To keep your foot from rolling off the ball, engage your core so you can move with more control, Liles says.
How to: Stand with your feet together in front of a slam ball. Step your right foot back and place your toes on top of the ball (a). Keeping your weight in your left heel, slowly lower your body into a lunge, bending your right knee towards the floor. Your left knee should form a 90-degree angle to the floor. Be sure your left knee is stacked above your ankle (b). Straighten both legs and return to standing (c).

2. Lying Hip Bridge With Hamstring Curl
Take your glute bridges to the next level with this variation that also strengthens your hamstrings. The lack of surface area on the ball is an added challenge to making the movement slower.

How to: Lay on your back with your hips lifted off the floor and your calves and heels on top of the ball. Plant your hands on the floor at your sides (a). Draw your heels in toward your butt with control, bending your legs. Your hips should elevate even higher as you squeeze your glutes to bring your heels in (b). Slowly extend your legs back out to the starting position (c).
3. Lying Quad Extension
Your quads, hamstrings and glutes are some of the biggest muscles groups in your body. This simple move fires up all three, helping you torch more calories per workout.
How to: Lie flat on your back and place the ball between your calves with your knees bent. For an added core challenge, you can lift your head off the floor and bring your chin towards your chest (a). Without moving your hips, bring your legs straight up towards the ceiling (b). Then, bend your knees until the ball touches the back of your legs. Remember to press your low-back into the floor throughout the entire movement (c).
5 Moves, 30 Minutes: Your Ultimate Kickboxing Workout
This article originally appeared on DailyBurn.com.
It’s time to give your cardio routine a kick in the you-know-what. Just like other cardio workouts, kickboxing offers all the benefits of a high-intensity routine, including better coordination, mobility and strength. You’ll not only knock your muscles into high gear, but you’ll squash the stress of the day.
RELATED: Undefeated: Kickboxing Workouts to Get You Strong
Anja Garcia, one of the lead instructors for Daily Burn’s new Undefeated kickboxing program (available now), guarantees this is one workout you can’t fake. “The choreography combinations force you to stay connected throughout the entire workout. And let’s be honest, punching and kicking helps get out any aggression, fear or sadness.”
Although these kickboxing moves will knock out major calories, they don’t skimp on strength either. “The punching and kicking helps to strengthen everything from your shoulders and back to your abs and legs,” Garcia says. “As with all your punches, it isn’t just about the upper body. So much of the punch also comes from your legs. You are working your abs and lower body, too.”

5 Kickboxing Moves to Squash Calories and Build Strength
Before you jump in the ring, take a few minutes to review proper boxer’s stance. “Your foot positioning is super important as the power of the punch actually originates from the glutes,” Garcia explains. The traditional boxer’s stance is with your left foot forward, feet shoulder-distance apart. “Your feet should be in a staggered fighting stance with your back foot slightly out to the side so that you’re able to use your hips through the punch,” Garcia says. Next, bring your fists up to your cheekbones and keep your elbows in by your sides — also known as guard position. Your fists should be close enough to your cheekbones that your thumbs can touch them.
Guess what? You’re ready to rumble. For the kickboxing workout below, perform eight reps of each exercise and repeat for as many rounds as possible in 30 minutes.

1. Jab, Cross, Hook, Uppercut
Throughout the Undefeated program, you’ll do different variations of this classic combo. But to help you maintain form, here are a few pro pointers: “In the jab, the punch comes straight out from the shoulder. Imagine the point of contact being someone’s nose,” Garcia says. For the cross, utilize power from your back hip to strengthen your punch, and for the hook, keep your arm at 90 degrees, Garcia adds.
How to: Get into guard position (a). Jab: Extend your left fist straight with your thumb pointed toward the floor. Pop it back to guard position (b). Cross: Turn your right foot inward and bring your right hip and shoulder forward. Keep your elbow in as you punch your right fist straight out with your thumb pointed to the floor. Pop it back up to guard position (c). Hook: Lift your left heel off the ground to shift your weight to your right side. Bring your left elbow up to shoulder height, forming a 90-degree angle, with your thumb facing up. Pop it back up to guard position (d). Uppercut: Turn your right hip and shoulder forward. Punch upward with your thumb facing you. Pop it back up to guard position (e). This is one rep.

2. Sweep, Squat, Kick
The sweep squat is a new take on the basic squat, engaging other muscles in your glutes and quads. But adding the kick also fires up your hamstrings, Garcia says. “The great bonus in this move is that the sweep down engages the core a bit more.”
How to: Get into guard position, feet shoulder-distance apart (a). Sit into a deep squat, while keeping your hands by your cheekbones (b). As you come up to stand from the squat, sweep your arms laterally to your left side and kick your right leg straight out (c). Repeat on the left side (d). This is one rep.
GIF: Undefeated
3. Jab, Cross, Slip
This move is all about good offense and defense. Here, Garcia says to step into the punch and then defensively slip back and duck away from someone else’s potential punch.
How to: Get into guard position. Stand with your feet shoulder-distance apart facing forward (a). Extend your left fist straight out with your thumb pointed toward the floor. Pop your fist back into guard position (b). Bring your right hip and shoulder forward to punch your right fist straight out with your thumb pointing the floor. Pop it back up to guard position (c). Keeping your hands in guard position, sit into a squat and duck your head, slipping it to your right side (d). Repeat on the left side. This is one rep.

4. Front Kick, Back Kick
Control is everything during this combo of kicks that also demands flexibility and mobility in your hips and hamstrings. Garcia recommends starting your kicks low at knee height before gradually going up to hip or chest height.
How to: Stand in guard position with your hands by your cheekbones and your feet in a staggered fighting stance (a). Kick your right leg forward, and then your left leg back, while maintaining upper body form (b). This is one rep.

5. Uppercuts
Uppercuts are deceptively lower body moves. The real power behind them comes from your shoulders, back and legs, too. “Firing up these big burners helps increase your metabolism and makes kickboxing a total-body workout,” Garcia says.
How to: Stand with your feet shoulder-distance apart (a). Pivot your right hip and shoulder forward (b). Keeping your elbows in, punch upward with your fists. Be sure your thumbs face you (c). Right then left is one rep.

Katie Austin’s 15-minute Resistance Band Workout
We love fitness influencer Katie Austin for her super-fun, high-energy workouts–and her special attention to toning the all-important booty. Next time you need a quick workout that you can do anytime, anywhere, follow along with the video above. All you need is a resistance band–and you can still do this 10-minute sequence even if you don’t have one.
This short but efficient routine starts with a warmup complete with jumping Jacks and dynamic stretches. Don’t forget to inhale and exhale deeply as you get your body prepped to sweat.
Next, grab your resistance band (we like this set from Theraband) If you don’t have one, though, it’s totally okay to keep following along using just your body weight. Or, Austin says, grab a couple of hand weights or even cans from your pantry to make the moves harder.

With your arms straight in front of you, gently pulse them away from each other, stretching the band, to warm up your upper body.
Extend your arms over your head and pull down on the band one side at a time to start working your back muscles. Once you’re comfortable there, add a side lunge to the move to up the intensity.
After a few lunges on each side, extend your arms behind you, with a slight bend in your knees, and once again pulse the arms in and out.

Next, Austin shows you how to wrap the resistance band around your ankles (and later, your thighs) for a series of leg and booty exercises. Each one comes equipped with an easy addition to get your arms working, too.
Finally, you’ll remove your resistance band and make your way down to the floor or your mat for abs, a few final booty exercises, and a quick cool-down and stretch as your heart rate slows.
Finish by rolling out your shoulders to shake off the workout–and any stress or worries you’ve been carrying that day, Austin says.

“No matter how much time you have, you are going to feel it,” she explains. “It allows you to strengthen and lengthen your muscles at the same time, and the use of the Swiss ball, which incorporates stability work, forces you to really be engaged.” Even better, you’ll never use time (or your lack thereof) as an excuse again.
1. Swiss Ball Pike
Get into a high plank with hands on floor under shoulders and feet on ball, laces down. With abs engaged, tuck chin and lift hips up, rolling ball forward until toes are on top of ball.

2. Swiss Ball Push-Up
Get into a high plank with hands on floor under shoulders and feet on ball, laces down. Bend arms, keeping elbows tucked into sides, and lower chest down as far as possible while keeping back flat. Push back up to high plank.
3. Single Leg Swiss Ball Squat

4. Swiss Ball Hip Lifts
Lie face-up with knees bent and heels on ball; palms facedown. Ball should be a foot away from butt. Dig heels into ball and lift hips. Slowly lower back down.

Heat Illness: Symptoms and How to Treat It
When your body has to work extremely hard to cool you down, you can develop heat exhaustion. During heat exhaustion, the body’s core temperature is usually less than 104 degrees Fahrenheit, but blood pressure is low and the heart is not pumping blood as efficiently as it should.
At this stage, the body is still doing what it’s supposed to. “You’ll be very fatigued and sweating a lot and thirsty—so those natural defenses against heat and dehydration are still working,” says Peter Shearer, MD, associate director of the Mount Sinai Hospital emergency department in New York City.
Heat exhaustion does not necessarily lead to heatstroke—but it could, says exercise physiologist Michael Bergeron, PhD, president and CEO of Youth Sports of the Americas. Bergeron describes exertional heatstroke as “a clear medical emergency affecting multiple body systems,” which usually occurs when the body’s core temperature rises above 104 degrees.
Heatstroke causes the central nervous system to malfunction. It can also damage the brain, heart, liver, kidneys, spleen, and muscular tissue. “Your body loses the ability to thermoregulate, so at that point it’s much more difficult to reverse itself,” says Dr. Shearer.
6 Times Jenna Dewan Was #FitnessGoals on Instagram
We. Are. Not. Worthy.
What can we say about fitness queen Jenna Dewan that could ever do our woman crush justice? It’ll never be enough. Dewan, star of Step Up and host of the NBC show World of Dance, is known for sharing heart-thumping, sultry dance videos of herself on social media, as well as Instagram photos showing off her impressive workout moves that inspire total #fitnessgoals.
While most of us haven’t professionally trained with Janet Jackson in our teens, and some of us may not even be able to touch our toes (keep working at it!), we can still appreciate Dewan’s passion for keeping fit and healthy by constantly pushing her body through dance, workouts, and yoga. Here, six times she basically sent us running to our next workout.
When she hung upside down in a split while wearing the cutest set of bordeaux-inspired spandex
We wish, like Dewan, we had this kind of motivation on Mondays (instead of snoozing our alarms, debating our early AM workouts).
That time she embraced nature and sunshine in a crop top and high waist leggings
Only Dewan can come out of a hike or run looking like a glowing goddess instead of a sweaty mess (me).
When she made us think to pack medicine balls in our beach bags
Note to self: pack adorable workout clothes, medicine ball, and fave APL sneakers for next beach outing. Also, bring friend to snap photos for Instagram.
The moment she fooled us by making this yoga stretch look way too easy
We are so not on the floor by our desk trying to unsuccessfully to mimic this stretch. Nope, not us.
When we knew we wanted her toned arms… and her matching floral sport bra and leggings
But, really, what exercises do I need to commit to for Jenna-Dewan-arms?
The time she got real about what keeps her healthy
We wish we could be Dewan’s gym BFF, or at least channel her during our next sweat session. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, right?
While we may not be able to twist our bodies into these poses like Dewan, we can still mimic her workout style: Dewan, who is a Danskin ambassador, has been sporting these comfy, high-waisted leggings from the brand in many of her social media posts lately. We’re officially believers, too: Not only do they fit your booty like a glove, but did we mention that they’re a whopping $24 on Amazon, so completely affordable? Score.
People Are Shocked I’m a Dancer Because I Was Born Without a Hand
“You don’t have to be the stereotypical person to do the things that you want to do.”
This video is part of Health’s #RealLifeStrong series, where we are celebrating women who represent strength, resilience, and grace.
When Sydney Mesher tells people she’s a dancer, they’re often surprised, she says. The 20-year-old was born without a left hand, but that hasn’t stopped her from pursuing her dreams in an industry known for its rigid body standards: “I get to be that person that kind of breaks that barrier, of that mindset.”
Mesher’s left arm ends at the base of her wrist due to symbrachydactyly, a rare condition that causes the underdevelopment of limbs in the womb. “Growing up, I dealt with a lot of bullying,” says the Portland, Ore., native. But she eventually recognized that the way people reacted to her was really all about them: “What’s happening is someone’s acting out of their own fear.”

Mesher is currently studying dance at Pace University in New York City. “With dance you are constantly growing. There’s no stopping point,” she says. “There’s always a place to be better.” After college, she hopes to become a Rockette or a backup dancer for Lady Gaga.
“I’m very grateful that I’m at a time in this industry where we’re starting to accept different body types,” she says. “I know I am different. Especially as an artist, it’s so important to have those differences.”
Her individuality shines through her work: “This is part of who I am. It’s not who I am, but it’s part of me. I want to share who I am and what I love, and celebrate that.” For more of Mesher’s story, check out the video above.

The 7 Moves Tracy Anderson Swears by for a Perkier Butt
Score a firmer, rounder backside with these moves from Tracy Anderson.
Sure, a toned butt looks amazing in your cutoffs, but the benefits of a sculpted rear go way beyond the visual—like protecting your back, helping you run faster, and amping up your body’s overall power. That said, sitting at a desk for long hours each day can wreak havoc on those buns, leaving them weak and unable to fire properly. The good news: This strengthening series will bring those lazy glutes back to life, no ifs, ands, or butts about it!
Do 30 reps of each move in the series on one side, then repeat the sequence on the other side. Tracy also recommends 30 to 60 minutes of cardio six times a week.

The HIIT Workout That Anna Kaiser Swears By
Perform this routine at least three to five times each week depending on your goals.
We all know the effectiveness of high intensity interval workouts (HIIT). They get your heart rate up, work all of your muscles and serve up some serious results pretty quickly. That’s why we’ve enlisted Anna Kaiser, the founder of AKT in Motion and the celebrity trainer behind the bodies of Kelly Ripa and Shakira, to create a custom HIIT workout for you. “HIIT workouts are one of my favorite ways to get fit,” Kaiser says. “It’s hard, but since you’re only exerting yourself for a short period of time, it flies by pretty quickly.”
Even if some of these moves seem too challenging for you, don’t be discouraged, says Kaiser. “You can keep this routine low impact and still get most of the benefits by simply holding the weights, taking out the jumps and moving with intention,” she says.
RELATED VIDEO: This Physio Ball Workout Gets Anna Kaiser’s Celeb Clients in Top Shape
This routine will engage every muscle in your body, increase your aerobic capacity and challenge your stability, endurance and stamina. “Once you’ve mastered HITT workouts,” Kaiser says, “everything else will seem easy!”
TIP: For the squats, make sure that you’re using your full range of motion and really try to get your booty down to a 90-degree angle from your knee. When you’re twisting and punching, make sure you’re engaging your obliques, so that you’re not compensating with your back.
Perform this routine at least three to five times each week depending on your goals.
These 5 Fitness-Star Tips Will Keep Your Workouts From Getting Boring
Steal these small tricks from the pros to shake up your exercise routine.
We all have that little thing that gets us through a workout. Maybe it’s a personal fitness goal, a pair of leggings that makes you feel unstoppable, or a dynamite playlist. But if you’re looking for a new source of inspiration, these five fitness stars have some simple–yet totally brilliant–advice.
The common theme? Keep things interesting. No one likes a predictable workout, and mixing up one or two things each time will keep you motivated and alert. Here are the smart tips you’ll find in the video above.

Vary the type of exercise
Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. While it’s great to have a routine, Jeanette Jenkins suggests always adding a new element to your exercise regimen. If you do yoga one day, try kickboxing the next. It’ll keep things fun and work different parts of your body for an all-encompassing workout.
Just dance
Who says exercise has to be all work and no play? Lacey Stone recommends adding some dance steps into a routine (especially when your favorite tune comes on). Dancing can amp you up—and remind you to have fun with it!
Burn sage
Taking a moment to yourself and getting into the right mindset can make all the difference. That might mean setting up your equipment a certain way, concentrating for a few minutes through meditation, or making the room aromatic and relaxing with sage, like Nicole Winhoffer does, or another incense.
Listen to a new playlist
Cueing up the same playlist every day can get really boring, really fast. You might have your go-to “running” playlist, but try making a few more, says Anna Kaiser. If you don’t want to make an entirely fresh list, at least hit shuffle for a new order each day.
Shake it off
At the very beginning of a yoga class, Hilaria Baldwin likes to take a few minutes to dance it out. The release will not only get you warmed up, but excited too!
