This workout is part of Kelly Ripa’s regular exercise regimen.  If this is how she keeps that rockin’ bod in shape then I’m sold.  All you need is rudimentary knowledge of the alphabet and a medicine ball.  It’s a great way to work on your core and upper body strength. Here is how you do it:

Take a 5-20 lb medicine ball (depending on your strength level) and extend your arms out in front of your body. Proceed to slowly spell the entire alphabet with the ball in the air in front of you.  Have your kids grab one of their numerous balls that are surely scattered throughout the house and join in the fun.  They will get a workout too and maybe finally master that tricky alphabet.

*To make this exercise even more challenging, do the Alphabet Workout while in a lunge or squat position.  I personally opt not to.
