Protractor Chess Press = lie on your back and raise straight legs together and hold 6 inches off ground; then perform air bench presses with both hands to full extension, to completion while keeping legs still at 6 inches throughout (courtesy:  Spamalot).

Undertow Bench Rows = sit on end of a bench or planter with nothing under your legs but a bench or some support behind your back; lean back, put hands on bench behind you with legs extended forward, straight and together; with legs together, bring knees to your chest and then return to full extension; that is one repetition.  The repeated motion works the abs and the whole core and feels something like a rowing motion (courtesy:  Undertow).

BONUS — Ways to remember the exercises:

  • Chopt — chop that salad with your feet
  • Moe’s — may cause (side) squats
  • Rite Aid — you will need medicine after the Burpees
  • Dewey — push those tempting cake squares away from you
  • Talbots — Talbots and Mike Tyson go together like, well, Phil Collins and Mike Tyson…
  • Planters — new exercise (bench rows) at a new spot
