SiG MT 93 TRAINING TIPS By Tamara Podry Photography by Jim Wells Shape Up For Summer ummer is right around the corner. Time to cast all those excuses aside and put in the work so you can reap the rewards as the weather warms up and the shorts come out. You don't have to spend countless hours in the gym to get the summer body you want. All it takes is 24 minutes done 4-6 days a week to get stronger, leaner and fier! Let's Do is! S Starting with feet together, bend knees to a squat then explode up landing in a wide stance or sumo stance. Go straight into a squat and jump up again landing back in the narrow stance. Repeat for the entire interval. Starting on hands and toes in an extended plank position, bring one knee up toward your chest tapping the toe on the floor (but not puing weight on the foot). Replace the foot and repeat with the other foot quickly, almost like a horizontal run. Li through your belly buon and each time you drive your knee up, think of it like a crunch. For the Everest Climbers, you would start in the same position, but bring your knees up to the outside of your torso, touching knee to elbow and foot to the ground. Laying on your stomach with arms and legs extended, li through your lower and mid back so arms and legs are off the floor, being sure to keep your neck neutral. At the same time, drive your elbows down toward your ribs like you're doing a pull up and squeeze your heels in toward your bu for a hamstring curl. Stretch arms and legs out and repeat. #1 • In-Out Jumps (or squats) #2 • Mountain Climbers (or Everest Climbers) #3 • Superman Pull Downs & Ham Curls Do each exercise for 20 secs work, with 40 secs to recover (to increase difficulty, do 30 secs work, 30 secs to recover or for a crazy intense burn do 40 secs work, 20 secs to recover).
