Stressed Out? Here's Your New Workout
When you're stressed, the last thing you want to do is exercise. But these 11 easy moves will help you feel better fast
The equipment: Honeydew melon The trainer: Tom Fabbri, a personal trainer and expert climber who's currently climbing the world's seven summits
The move: Seated Russian twist
Difficulty: Medium
You'll use the honeydew melon in place of a weighted medicine ball for this move. Sit on the floor with your knees bent, feet and knees together, heels pressing into the floor, and toes pointing up. Holding the melon in front of your chest, lean back until you can feel your abs start to engage. On an exhale, rotate your torso (shoulders and chest) to one side; on your inhale, come back to center. Repeat on the other side to complete one full repetition. Do 15 reps, working up to 30 (or until your abs are completely fatigued).
