Crazy Cardio
“I use basketball first to get my heart rate up,” says Bellamy. Using your own body weight as resistance, there’s a number of cardio exercises you can do, such as:
Alternating knee lift
Standing tall, bring one knee toward your chest without collapsing rib cage; twist opposite elbow toward knee. Alternate sides.
Side-to-side leap
Place any long, thin object (such as a broom) on floor. Leap sideways over object, landing with feet together.
Booty Call Squats
The term that first made Bill famous is also the inspiration behind these butt-blasting workouts to shape, lift and firm the buttocks:
Dumbell Deadlift Squat
Set a pair of dumbbells on the floor in front of you. Bend at your hips and knees, and grab the dumbbells with an overhand grip. Without allowing your lower back to round, stand up with the dumbbells. Then try exercise while lowering the dumbbells to the floor.
It’s said the keys to good health are sweating and laughing every day and Bill Bellamy is certainly proving this sage advice works.
