Fitness Friday- sometimes one exercise is all you need

Today’s workout was inspired by another trainer at our gym. She and her daughter do these crazy complicated workouts together and share the videos on FB. I decided to attempt one of the easier exercises included in their most recent set of videos. It’s a squat press paired with a squat tricep extension (arms & legs) done on top of a bosu ball, which activated the core to maintain your balance throughout. This move while it sort of looks simple definitely involves a lot more focus than I expected. It took a couple of attempts to find the right rhythm for doing not exercises back to back, but it was such a great feeling of accomplishment when I got it down. I did four sets of 10 reps each and my body was exhausted after that. Even though this was the only move I did at the gym today, my body felt like I had put it through many more exercises. I love finding a move that works as well as a whole circuit.
