Kathy Smith's Winter Workout Challenge
Try these exercises to get fit at home: no gym or overcoat needed
- Place your weight on your right foot and pivot your body 180 degrees back to the left.
- Land on the left foot with a wide stance, with your body facing the left wall.
- As your left foot lands, brace your core and squat down for two “pulses": Sit back into squat position, raise back up just a few inches, quickly squat back down, and return to standing.

- Do 16 reps on each side.
