Casual Holiday Workout
(Slide Show / Regular View / 2 Columns / Thumbnails)
Presents were present, ha ha and then I decided to "create" a casual workout
Get down on your elbows, keep your hips off the floor if you can
On your hands is a great way to "plank"
Challenge yourself to get your hands completely flat on the ground, modify by starting in a chair
I'm soooo into balance
Swing to get some cardio in, good for the heart
Balance plus shoulder work...ouch but oh so good
You can modify by keeping foot on the floor
This balance move helps your hip flexors
Yes, yes and yes, I'm loving this
Time to get down to business
This is a great position to challenge your core
Ready to advance? Lift one leg off the floor
Adding weights (not weight:) will help your bones get stronger
Feeling strong is my daily goal
Arms always need attention, don't neglect
Right leg up, left arm up holding weights = balance and strength
When ready try to lift leg with bend in knee and hold for a few seconds
Do this sitting down or put hand on counter/chair instead of on shoulder
