A person is said to be considered, 'fit', if able to do at least 27 push ups without stopping! |

Need to work on the triceps often, if you want a 'firm' look! |

Up the challenge by only having one foot on the flat surface. |

This little boy took up the "walking up the steep stairs" challenge! |
|
 |
...he told his mother, "Please stay back, I can do this", and he did!
What's your excuse for not rising to the challenge?! |
|
 |
Even dogs try the "dreadmill" otherwise known as the treadmill! |
|
 |
"Okay - I walked, where's my treat?" We deserve a treat when we challenge ourselves! |

Yeah, I'm on my mat, what's next? Ha ha.. |

So not in the mood, but I just finished walking anyway...tired, now. |

|
 |
This says it all! With me as your PT (Personal Trainer), you can do just about anything!! |
|
 |
Stationary bike with a comfy 'seat back'. Hold on to handles for further stability. |
|
 |
Challenge yourself. Do not hold on to the handles and pedal even faster! |
|
 |
Do not just sit and start to pedal. Improper seat positioning can hurt your knees and strain your lower back. |
|
 |
Is that all...? |
|
 |
Want to strengthen/stabilize your core, hips should NOT be sagging like this |
|
 |
Way too low for a 'good plank' |
|
 |
Getting there, but not quite... |
|
 |
Butt way up in the air, nope...incorrect form |
|
 |
Here we go..flat back, tummy tucked in tight, hurts so good...PLANK IT |
