Total Body Recharge: 8 Energy-Boosting, Muscle-Toning Moves

Tadpole to Frog

Targets: Shoulders, triceps, abs, butt, quads, and calves

Start on mat in full push-up position, balancing on hands and toes, arms extended, body forming a straight line from head to heels.
Keeping arms tucked close by sides, bend elbows directly behind you to lower chest toward mat.

Press up, extending arms, and jump feet forward so that they land outside hands. Make it easier: Start with knees on mat and lower chest. Push up and lift knees off mat to press hips up into an inverted V; walk left foot and then right foot to outside of hands. Set up again for a low push-up or triceps push-up.
Do 12 reps.
