Happy Monday everyone! Here's another Jillian Michael's workout to start off the week!

Start with a 10-15 minute warm up on the treadmill or bike

Goblet Squat

Works: Butt and legs

Stand with feet slightly wider than shoulders and hold a dumbbell in front of face, fingers clasped. Squat until thighs are parallel to the ground [A].

Lower butt toward the ground [B], then rise up to starting position.

2. 

Crescent Kickback

Works: Butt, legs, and triceps

Stand with feet a stride’s length apart, left foot in front of right, and hold a dumbbell in each hand. Bend left knee 90 degrees, aligning it over ankle, and bend elbows straight back behind you, drawing weights toward your sides with palms facing each other. Extend arms as you rotate palms toward the sky [shown]. Return to starting position. Switch legs on next set.

3. 

Warrior-3 Fly

Works: Butt, legs, core, shoulders, and back

Stand holding a dumbbell in each hand at sides. Shift weight to left leg as you raise right leg to hip height behind you, hands under shoulders and palms facing each other [A].

Raise arms out to sides [B], then lower to starting position. Switch legs on next set. (Video: See the move in action here!)

Make it easier: If you can't perform this exercise with proper form, try a less advanced variation like the one demonstrated here.

4. 

Long Jump Around

Stand with feet shoulder-width apart and arms at sides, palms facing thighs. Bend knees as you reach arms behind you [A].

Jump up and forward [B] as far as you can. Turn around and jog back to starting position.

5. 

Running Man

Stand with feet staggered, left in front of right, knees slightly bent. Bend elbows and raise right arm to shoulder height in front of you as you extend left arm behind you (as if you were running) [shown]. Jump up as you switch arms and legs. Jump back to starting position.

6. 

Shoulder Stand Reach

Lie faceup with legs extended on the ground in front of you and arms at sides, palms on the ground. Raise your legs straight up as you lift your back [A].

Lower your back and legs to the ground, sit up, and reach hands toward toes [B].

Reverse motion to return to starting position.

7. 

Tornado Crunch

Lie faceup with arms extended out to sides at shoulder level, palms on the ground and legs extended over hips. Lower legs in a circular motion to the right [A], center [B], and left [C].
