Marta's Favorite Exercises

<strong>Pull-ups: </strong>Controlling your body, pull your chest to the bar. (Andrew Meade Photography)

<strong>Push-ups: </strong>Keep your body straight with your hands just wider than shoulder width. (Andrew Meade Photography)

<strong>Kettlebell swings: </strong>Use  your hips (not your arms) to thrust the kettlebell up. (Andrew Meade Photography)

<strong>Back roll over on the physioball to push-ups: </strong>Extend the back while keeping the back straight, hips aligned and core tight. Roll into a push-up position. Do a push up and extend all the way back. This is really hard. (Andrew Meade Photography)

<strong>Burpee: </strong>This is the classic squat thrust with a jump added at the end of the movement. (Andrew Meade Photography)

<strong>Medicine ball throw: </strong>Throw the medicine ball down hard and catch it right away to keep the tension high throughout this exercise. (Andrew Meade Photography)

<strong>Squats touching the bench: </strong>Sit back to squat until your rear touches the bench. Push the weight up through your heels. (Andrew Meade Photography)
