Maria Menounos Workout With Harley Pasternak
When not working out with Andrea Orbeck, Maria Menounos is working with Harley Pasternack. Harley Pasternak is famous for claiming he trains half of Hollywood. Here is Maria Menounos’ workout with Harley Pasternack:
- Skater Lunge
- Lying Tricep Extension
- Alternating Superman
- Spider-Man Plank
- Trunk Twist
As you can see this workout focuses on the important parts of your body. It focuses on the legs and core, but also hits the arms in the triceps area.
Do 20 reps of each move. Then, move onto the next exercise without stopping. Maria Menounos repeats this workout three times in a row (a.k.a circuit training) for a simple yet complete, workout with Harley Pasternak.
Skater Lunge
The Skater Lunge works your legs and core.
- Stand with your feet shoulder width apart, toes pointed slightly outward if you want to focus on your booty.
- Step your left foot behind your right leg and bend both knees to lower into a lunge, with your left knee directly behind your right heel (shown).
- Press through your right heel and bring your left foot back to the starting position.
- That’s one rep. Continue by repeating on the other side.
Lying Triceps Extension
- Lie on your back and hold a pair of dumbbells over your chest, arms straight and palms facing each other.
