Five Simple Exercises For the New Year


The holiday office party and the New Year's Eve festivities with family and friends will probably do nothing for your figure. Ladies, if you're not quite ready for that new party dress--or men, if you want that shirt tucked without the jelly-belly bulge--don't fret. Here are five simple exercises you can do at home, or even at your office, to get yourself looking spectacular in the new year.


Dancing. Dancing is an excellent cardiovascular exercise and it doesn't require a lot of work to do.

Lower Body Exercises. These exercises are simple to do and don't require fancy equipment. Just make some space, grab a chair, and let the lower body toning begin.

Upper Body Exercises. If you're going to be showing those arms, these exercises are crucial.

Stretching. You can do some basic stretches at home that will give you the same calming results as yoga. Try this first thing in the morning or after a long day. You'll love it.

Abdominal/core exercises. There are many ways to work your mid-section that are perfect for flattening your front.


Most importantly, keep in mind that the holidays are a time of good cheer. Use the merriment of the season to rejoice in your loved ones and yourself. It's never too late to begin to change your life, so start today by adding these simple moves to your routine and jump-start your new year!
