1 Move That Works It All: Butt, Abs, and Arms
You're busy. We know that. That's why we're showing you tabletop reach, a sweet little bodyweight exercise that works your entire body with special focus on your arms, butt, and abs. Yes! It's an ab exercise that is not a crunch. And another bonus: you get an active hamstring stretch doing this move. Add it to your workout routine; it's great after rides or runs.

- Begin in a strong tabletop position with your hands under your shoulders, your knees over your ankles, your pelvis lifted off the floor, and fingers pointed toward the sides.
- Lift your left leg up and reach your right hand toward your left toes. Return your hand and foot to floor, lifting the pelvis back to tabletop by squeezing the glutes — this is where the butt toning happens. This completes one rep. Switch sides for the next rep.
- Start with two to three sets of 12 reps each, and work your way up to 20 reps per set as you build strength.
