Here is a great calorie burning workout video.
It seems easy enough but keep in mind that you are supposed to do it 4 times! Eeeek!

I like this exercise because it is simple and most of us have a stability ball and a set of dumbbells included in our home gym equipment. If this exercise is challenging for you, try doing it without the weights. If it is easy, then don’t just gloat about it, add some extra weight or [...]

These three simple exercises cover most of the muscles in your upper body, lower body and your core.Research still shows that these are some of the most effective exercises to do.
