Abs Diet: Total Body Workouts- Chopping  

Diagonal Chop

Hold a 6- to 8-pound medicine ball or plate in front of your chest and stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Pivot on your right foot and rotate 90 degrees to the right, while raising the ball up and to the right. Make sure to keep your left knee aligned with your toes to prevent it from twisting. Next, pivot on your left foot and bring the ball down toward that foot. That's one repetition. Do 10 reps, then switch sides.

 

Vertical Chop

Raise a 6- to 8-pound medicine ball straight above your head and stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Chop down between your legs with the medicine ball, but don't let it touch the floor. Keep your hips, knees, and feet aligned as you would for a squat. Do 10 to 12 repetitions.

 

Reaching Lunge Chop to Overhead Reach

Stand holding a medicine ball over your head with your arms straight. Lunge forward and bring the ball to the instep of your front foot. Pause when your back knee is about an inch off the floor, then push back to the starting position. Do a set of 10 reps with one leg before lunging with the other.
