I opened up my online newsletter for Oxygen Women's Fitness & saw this great move to share with you. This exercise targets so many different groups and you can do it at home or the gym... hey, you can do it at the park too! See below for a description of how to do this move. It works the quadriceps, glutes, shoulders & more!!!! Also check out the link in the paragraph below for a full body workout. If you are a beginner, it may be a bit tough for you but intermediate to advanced should have no problem. It helps with your balance too. If you have shoulder problems, do be careful with the push-up exercise.Reverse Woodchop: Target more muscles in less time with our brand new full-body workout, only at oxygenmag.com. But first, try out this compound move, exclusive to newsletter readers.
Set Up: Stand with your feet wider than shoulder width apart and hold a medicine ball with both hands. Lift the ball above your left shoulder as you twist your torso towards the left. Let your head follow your body. Action: Lower the medicine ball across your torso toward your right knee, keeping your arms extended as you squat down, activating your leg and glute muscles. Repeat. Complete the set (8 to 10 repetitions), then switch sides. Do three complete sets.

This looks like a really great exercise, challenging too! It is similar to many of the things I do in my Pilates class.
Forgot to ask you my question in my last post...you mentioned balance and I wondered what you know about using a Bosu ball? I understand they are very helpful in improving your balance.
