5. Statue Toner
Stand on your left leg, knee slightly bent, and extend your right leg diagonally behind you, toe touching the floor. Hold the rope taut with both hands and bring it overhead, keeping your arms straight (a). Slowly lift your right leg off the floor by squeezing your glutes, and reach your arms up and over, as if you were trying to touch your right toe (b). Pause, then return to start. That's one rep. Do 50, then repeat on the other side.
6. Lat-Pull Pli?
Stand with your feet two to three feet apart, toes turned out, and rise onto your toes, holding the rope taut behind your head as if you were holding a bar on your shoulders (a). From that position, sit back and bend your knees to lower into a squat as you press your arms overhead (b). Pause, then pull your shoulder blades down and together and straighten your legs to return to start. That's one rep. Start with 25 and work your way up to 50.
