New Year Total Body Toning Workout
Happy New Year! We’re so excited for this year and all the amazing things it has in store for you.

Over the next six weeks, the Tone It Up community will be getting stronger with new workouts, nourishing our bodies with delicious, healthy meals, and focusing on positivity and light with mindful meditations and motivation. Join us in the Love Your Body Series HERE!
We’ll also be doing 42 reps of the Toning Moves every day to sculpt every inch of your gorgeous body. You can break the reps up however you like; just get ’em done! Today we’re sharing a total body toning workout that sculpts your bod from head to toe. These are compound moves, so they work multiple muscle groups at once, which helps boost your metabolism.
Go through one round of the circuit below. You’ve got this!
1. Squat + Shoulder Press
Tones your booty, thighs, and shoulders!
Stand with your feet slightly wider than hip-width apart. Hold the dumbbells up by your shoulders as you squat down until your knees reach a 90-degree angle. Make sure your knees don’t go over your toes. Straighten your legs and stand tall as you press your arms into the air above your head, palms facing forward. Keep your core engaged throughout the move.
Do 42 reps.
2. Single Leg Deadlift + Fly
Tones your hamstrings, booty, back, and shoulders!
Begin holding a dumbbell in each hand, palms facing each other and arms in front. Shift your weight into your left leg and allow for a slight bend in the knee. Hinge from the hips and lower the dumbbells down while lifting your right foot behind you. Maintain a neutral arch in your low back. Maintaining a slight bend in your elbow, open both arms out to the side until your hands are in line with your shoulders. Slowly lower your arms and return to start.
Do 42 reps on each side.
3. Bikini Walkout + Plank Jack
Sculpts your core and shoulders and boosts your metabolism!
Begin standing with your feet hip-width apart, hands by your side. Hinge forward from the hips and walk your hands down your legs until you reach the ground. Walk your hands out into a plank position. Jump your feet out to perform a plank jack and then jump them back in. Walk your hands back to your feet and return to a standing position.
Do 42 reps.
4. Triceps Dip + Leg Raise
Strengthens your triceps, lower abs, and hip flexors!
Begin with your hands planted on the ground. Bend one knee in front of you and extend the other leg straight as you bend your arms at the elbow to lower your body down until your arms form a 90-degree angle. Extend your arms to return to starting position.
Do 42 reps.
5. V-Sit + Biceps Curl
Tones your core and biceps!
Begin in a v-sit position with your core engaged and a dumbbell in each hand. Curl the weights towards your biceps to perform a bicep curl.
Do 42 reps.
