Get a dancer's body without having to well, dance (read: no coordination required!). These easy-to-follow moves from FITNESS magazine will help tone your arms, abs and legs, plus give you the posture your mom would be proud of. The best part? All you need is a chair without wheels!

Lindsey Emery, senior fitness editor of FITNESS magazine showed us how to get the long, lean body of a dancer with five moves.

1. Teeter Totter (Targets: shoulders, arms, core, legs)
Stand to left of chair and place right hand on top of its back. Keeping back straight, abs engaged and left toes pointed, hinge forward from waist, extending left arm in front of you and left leg behind you, until body is parallel to floor. Hold for one full breath. Lower to start.
Do 12 reps; switch sides and repeat.

It's a 45-minute system of exercises that are called Tai-Sho Daruma. They are thousands of years old and they were practiced by the monks in the Buddhist temples of China, essentially, to keep there bodies young as they aged. Translate that into today, and you have something that is of great interest to the "baby boomer" crowd, who as the monks did "want to keep their bodies young as they age."

Stefan Schwarze, owner of Evolution Fitness Club, stopped by to show us a few moves. He says it helps young athletes as he practices it with local high schoolers. It's gained so much popularity that he teaches it to many international yoga groups.

• The Toe Wiggle - Exercise foot muscles for better balance
• Ring the Doorbell - Engages abs
• Static Duck Walk - Develops flexibility
• Buddhist Facelift - Develops muscles in the cheeks, jaw and neck

Rotate the medicine ball to the right and then over to the left, as if you were swinging a bat. The core should be engaged the entire time to strengthen the obliques. Repeat 20 times.
