You know I love to spice things up with … my Fitness CLASS! Haha. But jokes aside, I make my class try out Crazy Cotter combinations at least once week. It keeps us all on our toes and challenging our bodies. Some are hit and some are miss, but at least we’re trying it!
Which leaves me today. I’ve recruited a ton of FIT FRIENDS to share their favorite LATEST and GREATIST fitness moves.
Get ready, you’ll want to try these. I’d start off trying 10-15 reps of each 3x through or I’d time the exercise, maybe 30 secs to a 1 minute (2-3x).
Kindal’s boat pose with Kettle Bell!
My push press to ninja tuck (a favorite to get HR up).
Want more balance work? Try my single leg squat, curl, and mountain climber.
Katie’s awesome TRX move!
Kristin’s Killer 4 move Bosu series! Ouch this look hard, but good!
Kindal’s Donkey Burpees –> these are a favorite of mine!
But what about new workout styles? I’ve got that covered too!
Kaila’s Mix it UP 1000 rep workout
Or how about UTLIZING the ROWING machine?! I love this one.
And let’s not forget TECHNNIQUE!
Laura’s Fulls and Partials –> her instructions from blog below
These are really great for moving past “sticking” points where the weight feels heaviest. You can move past the sticky point because the that part of the muscle group is exhausted, but that doesn’t mean all ares of that muscle group are exhausted. Partials allow you to essentially work beyond failure by working in smaller ranges of motion. Perform 10 full reps of a movement, followed by 10 half reps. Do 1st and 3rd sets on the bottom half, and the 2nd and 4th on the top half.
Ex Standing Leg Curls- Start with a lighter weight, as this machine can put some strain on the knees. Adjust the pads so that they are in a comfortable position around the ankle – you don’t want the pads too high up the calf. Grasp the support handles, then lift the pad upward as far as it will go toward the butt. Lift and lower the leg in a controlled manner to complete one full rep.
Note: You can perform this exercise on a lying leg curl machine too.
Well, what will you try first?
Have any new moves? Do tell! I’ll be sure to do this series again if we get more submissions!

So I just got up and tried a ninja tuck … you make that look so easy! And I dig your single leg sequence. I love wearing down one side at a time !
haha it’s kinda fun, yes?
These are some great moves! I am doing Piyo right now and everything so far is new to me. 🙂 I love it! And I love being able to learn new things too.
🙂
oh i’ve been dying to try piyo!!
I’ve been loving the bosu at the gym lately, that new series of moves looks INTENSE! I always love new moves to mix into my workouts so thanks for sharing.
i was looking for some new ideas for strength training and you have got me covered! thanks 🙂
I’m tired from reading!!! 😉
Dude.
Whoa.
These are some serious moves!
You balance sequence looks like ballet to me. TECHNIQUE!
Can we pleeeze haz a video of you doing donkey burpees? Pleeeeeze?

OOOO Must try boat pose with kettlebell! I also like the donkey burpee idea to mix things up!
Love this! Pinned to my fitness board immediately. I’m trying those donkey burpees. Tonight. With my kids in the living room. They will love it!
oh please video!!! hehe i must see
What a fantastic list! I did the donkey burpees tonight at the gym. So crazy!
I did them in my class yesterday! Loved it!
You know I love all your workout moves. We even did your push presses to ninja jumps in our tabata class. It about killed us all, and I loved it.
oh i love it! burns, doesn’t it? good burn
The kettle bell boat pose looks good, tricky, but like I could do it.
So many fun moves all in one place! I’m so using some of these! Thanks for putting it together Lindsey!!!!
These are fantastic! Thanks for sharing! I grow bored of exercise routines very quickly, so I can’t wait to throw these into my next routine!
Gah – that “single leg squat, curl, and mountain climber” looks KILLER!!! I cannot wait to give it a go tomorrow – along with the 4 move bosu series! Burnsiferous! 🙂
Thanks for these Lindsay – definite HITS in my eyes!
Oh – you know I love this post!!!
I’m always looking for fun new moves to try!!!
I’ve been making my clients do Warrior III while holding a dumbbell in one hand and doing rows on each side. Great for balance and strength!
Those burpee variations look MUCH more up my alley than regular ole burpees. I’ll have to give those a shot!
i kinda am addicted to them. haha
Dang… that donkey burpee looks a little intense! haha!
Omg those donkey burpees look insane! Great post!
Standing leg curls are definitely on my to do list.
I’m currently sitting in the middle of Starbucks and seriously tempted to jump up and try out one of those donkey burpees… just to see if I could do it. Hmmm…
not gonna lie, it’s kinda fun. Like when you run like a kid! haha
Yowza that boat pose with kettlebell! I’m always trying to improve my core strength and boat post is usually a good move for me to do but still a struggle. I’ll have to try it out.
If there’s anything that could make me hate burpees more… it’d be adding a donkey kick. They’re so effective though!
I’m loving the donkey kick burpees! Those will be a must in the next workout I do at home.
Oh I need to try the boat pose, your ninja things and the crazy burpees! I wish I had a TRX too.
I really like that kettlebell boat pose! The other day I did an overhead press (on my back) into a russian twist… my abs KILLED ME after!
oh nice one!
Awesome ideas! Thanks 🙂 I’m loving trying out new things! I’ve been trying to workout on that TRX move (hello core) & yesterday we did this tricep ball exercise.. my arms are crying this morning ha! Oh how I wish I could workout with you!!! x0
You are a fitness genius girl! I need to study this!
These moves are making me so excited to work out again!!
These are leaving me feeling like a wimp! But I am also inspired to try some. Great roundup from some great trainers!
Ooh I really like the kettlebell/boat exercise, and the donkey burpees look killer! Can’t wait to try some of these!
Love all of these! I am going to do the row workout today or tomorrow! Killer lady! Thanks for including little ole’ me!
Thank you so much for featuring my workout!! Can’t wait to try some of these new moves out! 🙂
Thx for contributing! Loved it
boat pose with kettle bell looks killer!
must try these moves!!! so many good ones!
These are great! I am going to try all the new moves… as soon as I can walk again. Stupid ankle.
Thanks for including my butt. 😉
Great roll up! I love showing a new PiYo or Insanity move now each Monday!
OMG Those donkey burpees. I’m totally trying that the next time the gym is fairly empty. Hahaha
Awesome! I have never seen any of those! Great workout, and funny as my post today is all about being stuck in a rut with exercises, and breaking free! I wish my core exercises could have been added to this list 🙂 I am amazed you ever run out of workouts though, you always seem to have new ones 🙂
Fun! Your push press to ninja tuck reminds me of another one I love — face wall, sit down, roll back (legs over ears to ground), roll forward quickly to standing, kick up or straddle press up into handstand, kick down and return fluidly to sitting/roll back position — repeat until too dizzy to go on! Lol, I will video this one for my blog later this week 😉
yes, you need to video this!! i need to see and use for sure!
Seriously PERFECT timing. I was determined to start strength training again three weeks ago and still haven’t put together a 3 day a week plan. Since I am at a loss, I am hoping these will get me moving in the right direction. And those donkey things look good to try with The A Team for family workouts.
Wow these moves look solid! I am looking forward to trying them out!
These look fun! I am loving the donkey kick burpee it actually looks like it makes burpess fun!
i did them with my class last week–> hurt so good!
This couldn’t come at a better time…..I am over my workout split and looking at new ways to give ‘something’ to my workouts- and not necessarily using weights or machines!
Think you’ll ever try a crossfit style workout? Maybe Lucie can get you hooked when she visits! haha
