Monday Workout: Improvise!

This week’s workout has a couple exercises that would be improved by a little bit of stuff, but it should be stuff that is relatively easy to find around the house.  For the woodchoppers and Russian twists, find something that weights a couple of pounds (if you have a dumbbell that is less than 10 pounds, that’s perfect, but even a quart bottle of water would work; hold the ends.)  For the hop or jump ups, a sturdy box, stool, bench, chair, or step works.  Lower things are easier, obviously, and use appropriate care!  If hopping and jumping are not appropriate for your body, step up instead.  Do three or four rounds of the top exercises and finish with a set or two of the ab exercises.
