This is a quick workout you can do at home from the main workout of the December 2010 30-minute workout. Clear off some space on the floor in front of your computer and do it along with me.

Quick Workout At Home
4 exercises in a row, doing each exercise for 30 seconds (15 seconds on each leg of the One-Legged Wall Hold). After doing all 4 exercises, rest 30 seconds, then do that circuit again. Rest another 30 seconds, and then do that circuit one more time.
Kneeling Offset Pushups - 30 seconds
1. Get at the top of a pushup position by resting on your hands and the tips of your toes. Both hands should be shoulder width apart, but one arm is straight down from your shoulder and your other arm where the bottom of your hand would be in line with your nose. Make sure to keep your body in a straight line from your shoulders to your feet and to not sag or raise your hips.
2. Drop your knees straight down on the ground without moving them closer to your stomach.
3. Lower yourself down until your nose is only a few inches from the ground and make sure that your hips do not sag. Also as you are lowering, pull your shoulder blades together as far as they will go and make sure that your neck stays in line with your spine.
4. Pause for a second, then brace your abs and keep your body in a straight line from knees to shoulders as you push through your chest, shoulders, and triceps until you get to the top of the position.
5. After doing two repetitions, switch hand positions and do another two repetitions. Continue switching hand positions after two repetitions for the recommended number of total repetitions or time.
Step Out - 30 seconds
1. Stand with your feet just greater than shoulder-width apart and your hands clasped together in front of you. Raise yourself up on your toes as high as you can and keep them that high throughout the entire set.
2. With your abs braced and butt muscles squeezed, start the movement at the hip joint and push your hips backward and "sit back in a chair." Make your hips go back as far as possible and lower yourself as far as your range of motion will take you.
3. Starting on the right side and staying in the squat position, step out to the right side (your body with turn as well), so that you form an "L-shape" between your two inner thighs.
4. Bring your right leg back in towards your body, and do the same thing on your left.
5. Once you bring your left leg back into your body, stand up from the squat position.
6. Continue this movement of squatting down and alternating legs until you have completed the recommended number of repetitions or time.
One-Legged Wall Hold - 15 seconds on each leg
1. Stand in front of a wall (about 2 feet in front of it) and lean against it.
2. Slide down until your knees are at about 90-degree angles.
3. Lift your right leg off the ground and extend your knee so that it is completely straight while at the same time keeping your hip in the same position.
4. Keep your back straight and do not lean forward or place your hands on your legs while holding the position.
5. Hold for the recommended time and then complete the same hold on the left leg.
Cross Body Mountain Climbers - 30 seconds
1. Start at the top of a push up position.
2. Bring your right leg up and across your body as far as you can go so that your right knee is point towards your left elbow.
3. Return your right leg to the starting position and repeat the movement using your left leg.
4. Continue alternating legs until you have completed the recommended number of repetitions or time.
