JORGE’S DAILY FIT TIP

For some – especially those with weak knees or ankles – squats can be a challenge. This exercise, which uses the ball to provide stability and reduce pressure on your joints, is the perfect solution. If you don’t own a Swiss ball, slide up and down the wall, minus the ball. Perform this exercise against a blank wall or locked door for safety.

Step 1: Position yourself in front of the wall (or door) with the ball supporting your lower back. Stand with your feet hip-width apart, about 1 foot from the wall. Cross your arms in front of your shoulders.

Step 2: Squat down through a count of 10 until you reach a 90-degree angle.

Step 3: Hold for 2 seconds at the maximum tension point. Return to the starting point through a count of 10 seconds.

Step 4: Without resting, repeat three times.

Much like the squat, the lunge also utilizes all the major muscles of your legs and buttocks and requires concentration and balance. To avoid injury, make sure your front knee stays aligned with your ankles, never crosses over your toes, and doesn’t bend past a 90-degree angle.

Step 1: Stand in a lunge position with your back straight, chest up and abs tight.

Step 2: Drop your back knee toward the ground through a count of 10 seconds.

Step 3: When your knee is about 1 inch off the ground (the maximum tension point for thisexercise), hold for 2 seconds.

Step 4: Through a count of 10 seconds, return to starting position. Repeat.

Step 5: Do 2 reps on each leg without resting.

JORGE’S DAILY FIT TIP

By Jorge Cruise, Chief Diet and Fitness Expert

Most of us are caught in the rat race Monday through Friday and are easily seduced by the convenience of fatty foods at quick-dine restaurants. My secret to eating nutritiously during the busy work week? Prepare meals ahead of time! Do as much food preparation as you can on the weekends – such as chopping vegetables, roasting a few chicken breasts or making a large batch of rice – and then refrigerate or freeze these foods for later use.

And don’t waste time running back and forth to the fridge. It’s quicker to prep for a week’s worth of meals when all the ingredients are in full view instead of taking food to and from the fridge several times. You’ll find the time you spend planning, chopping and cooking on Sunday will save you valuable minutes during a stressful, time-pinched work week.
