Exercise
Hi I've been doing this workout routine and so far I have 4 things I've been doing, crunches, squats, and lifting weights to work my arms to diff. ways. But I want to vary it up some time so what are six other workouts that work generally any part of the body? Thanks for advice!

If you want more professional workouts without a class, you might want to opt for workout tapes, but without using those or the ever cle shay "bowflex" and things of the like, there are several things you can do. (six, since you requested)
1.)(for your back and abdominals) Lie flat on your stomach on the ground with your body aligned and your hands clasped on your back. Lift your torso as high as you can without using your hands and keeping your feet together and on the ground, hold for three seconds and release. Next lift your legs (while keeping them together and keeping your torso on the ground) as high as you can, hold for three seconds and release. Alternate five times. Do two to three reps.
2.)(for your inner thighs) turn in your feet. bend one leg until you can touch the ground with one hand. Lift the other leg, keeping it turned in, and bob it quickly up and down 20 times. alternate twice. I reccomend only 1 rep.
3.) (for flexibility) sit with the bottoms of your feet together and touching the ground. Pull your feet closer to yourself and try to gently force your knees to the ground. Apply pressure for 30 secs and release. Do 3 reps.
4.)(very good for obliques and back muscles) Lie on your back with your knees drawn toward you and your feet on the ground, and put your hands at your sides. Lift your hips up and hold for 3 secs then bring them down without letting them touch the floor. Do this 20 times. Do 2 or 3 reps.
5.) (good for abs and obliques) Lie on your back and bring your legs up so they are in a 90 degree angle with your torso, then bend them so your calves are at a 90 degree angle. Lift your neck and the top of your back slightly and bring your arms straight out in front of you. Push down your arms rapidly exhaling and counting every time. The counts are " 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10, 2 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10..." etc until you finish. Do 1 or 2 reps.
6.) ( good for arch and foot strength) Stand with your feet parallel, (you'll probably have to hold onto something.) rise up on your toes and lower quickly, but don't slam down, try to roll through your feet in a controlled manner. Do this 10 times then do five slowly. Do 3 reps.
Well, I've certainly left you quite a novel here, please enjoy, and I hope I have been of assistance!

well, i say: run, pushups, squat thrusts (if you know what these are), and thats all i can think of at the moment. oh and try to find some where to do pullups. like on a tree branch or something. they are good for your arms. and you could also try to jump rope. just some ideas. hope i helped.

If you lay on your back, with your arms flat by your side, and place your heels on the edge of a chair, then use your muscles to lift your legs, rear, & lower back off of the floor while keeping your hands flat on the floor - it really burns at first, but it tones your rear, stomach, & the tops of your thighs.
Just remember to drink plenty of water and don't get too extreme with your work-outs!
