Keeping up with Beyonce requires stamina. After all, Queen Bey is quite the
busy bee as part of a power couple, a toddler mommy, a designer of multiple
fashion lines, a recent partner in the vegan food biz and ... oh yeah, that little
pop music thing she likes to do every once in a while. If you’re out of breath just
reading that, just wait until you see the 33-year-old singer exercise.

Celebrating the 5th anniversary of Let's Move! #GimmeFive @michelleobama
A video posted by Beyoncé (@beyonce) on Feb 25, 2015 at 1:52pm PST
While fitting in fitness may not be as easy as hitting fast forward, Beyonce’s fullbody targeting moves proves you don’t have to be in the gym all day to be
bootylicious.
"Beyonce got it right!" says Joey Gonzalez, celebrity trainer and partner of
Barry's Bootcamp. "You’re actually better off working at a high-intensity level
for a short amount of time than doing moderate activity at the same intensity
level for a long session. Short bursts of very high-intensity moves are effective in
raising the heart rate and boosting calorie burn."
Ready to cut some time from your fat-cutting routine? Gonzalez gives you six
moves to get you trim in 6 minutes:
1. Curl and lunge: Alternate bicep dumbbell curls on both arms with standing
single leg lunges for one minute.
The move: Stand in place with dumbbells in each hand against front of legs,
palms facing forward. Power up biceps to curl the weight up and toward the
chest. Lower back down and step either leg into a low lunge. Step back to the
starting position. Repeat the two movements, alternating lunging legs.
2. Flying lunges: Ditch the dumbbells and do flying lunges for 30 seconds.
The move: Start with arms at sides and feet about hip-width apart. Step forward
on right leg and lower into lunge position while at the same time raising arms
out to shoulder height. Lower arms and step left foot up to meet right in standing
position. Repeat, alternating legs as you go.
3. Shoulder press squats: Squat and press weight overhead for one minute.
The move: Hold a weight in each hand near shoulders with palms facing
forward. With feet below hips or slightly wider, sit back as if sitting in a chair

through to a standing positioning, finishing by pressing the weights overhead.
Lower the weights back to shoulder height, then drop into your second squat
and repeat.
4. Hop squats: Drop the weights to hop and squat for 30 seconds.
The move: Using bodyweight, go into a low squat. Rise up, and instead of
stopping at the top of your extension, jump straight upward. Land lightly on both
feet and drop right back into the squat position. Repeat.

5. Row push-ups: Blast your upper body blending pushups and rows for one
minute.
The move: Start in a plank position. With weights in each hand on the floor
aligned directly below the shoulder, lower until arms are bent at 90 degrees.
Keeping core tight and body in one straight line, push up back to the starting
position. Using right hand, pull weight up and toward body until bicep is parallel
with torso, then release back toward the floor. Lower back to the ground and do
another pushup. When you come back up, raise the weight on the left side.
Alternate arms as you continue.
6. Burpees: Do this intense jump and drop exercise for 30 seconds.
