Alison Sweeney's Couch Workout

Flamingo Dip exercise
Andrew Southam

Flamingo Dip

Targets: Triceps and quads

  • Stand with feet hip-width apart with your back to couch and place both palms on edge of cushion or armrest, fingers facing forward.
  • Keeping arms straight and elbows close by sides, bend knees about 90 degrees and then lift left foot a few inches off floor, knee bent, to get into start position.
  • Flexing left foot, bend elbows behind you 90 degrees and simultaneously extend left leg so that it's parallel to floor.
  • Straighten arms and bend left knee to return to start.
  • Do 15 reps.
  • Switch sides and repeat.

Trainer's Tip: "Think of your heel as added resistance," Sant'Angelo says. "The greater you flex your foot, the more you'll work your quads."

I am very disappointed at the airbrushing and/or lighting of this photo. Whether it was done with photoshop or lighting, Alison looks like she has a "dent" in her stomach which is clearly unnatural.
