Continued from Nancy O’Dell: Weight Loss and Diet.

What’s your exercise routine with Jeff like? I start on the elliptical and get five minutes of warm-up, and then we do twists, which is kind of like disc throwing. It gets your bum, your abs and your arms because you’re holding the ball at the same time.

We do arms after that, but they alternate every other day. In between, I’ll go down and do push-ups. I’ll do another muscle group so that we’re not wasting any time. And the hour, believe it or not, goes by so quickly. I’ve [also] been running at least 30 minutes.

Nancy O’Dell’s Workout

Lunges with arm curls Jeff calls this a “hybrid exercise” where Nancy works her upper and lower body at the same time. With five-pound weights, she does lunges and arm curls. Jeff advises three sets of 15 reps with each leg.

Swimming ballerina Start with your arms straight out in front of you (with three-pound weights). In one movement, lift your upper and lower body and bring your arms back. Lower and lift again. Do three sets of 15 reps. “It hurts like heck,” Nancy says.

Get a leg up “I created this move,” Jeff says. “It stems from ballet.” Lift one leg with your toe pointed in. Lift a three-pound weight with the opposite arm. Your elbow should stay at 90 degrees. Raise the arm overhead and down. Do 15 reps without lowering your leg and then switch sides. Do three sets of 15 with each leg.
