The American Council on Exercise (ACE) asked 17,000 ACE-certified Fitness Profressionals to name the one exercise they could not live without.  Their number one choice?  Squats.  Squats help strengthen the glutes, hamstrings, calves, and quads . . . muscles that we recruit for a variety of sports and everyday activity.

The following round out their top 7 choices:
1. Squats
2. Running
3. Abdominal exercises
4. Lunges
5. Walking
6. Push-ups
7. Yoga

If you’re looking to spice up your current fitness routine, then try incorporating these 7 exercises into it.  Not only will a diverse routine keep your mind from going numb, but it will also help you to achieve a more balanced and flexible body.  In other words, an avid runner would do well to balance out her strong quads with some push-ups for her not-so-strong arms.
