30 Days of ABS: Days 4 and 5

Hello!
Today marks the 5th day of your 30 Days of Abs challenge. Yesterday, I did not post a blog but I'm curious, did you stick with it? Did you do an abdominal exercise? I did.

I went to a Hot Power Yoga class where my teacher made us do some seriously tough ab exercises slowly, while keeping the integrity of yoga. So, that's today's challenge!

Lay down! Put your feet up in the air....rest your arms by your side.
Now, put your left leg down but DO NOT touch the floor! Let your leg hoover over the floor by two inches!
Put your arms behind your head.
Now, reach up and try to touch your (right)  knee! Do not move fast!
Do this six times.
Put your right leg down,  the same way your left leg is and lift your left leg.  Repeat what you did on the right side.

After one set, DO NOT put your feet down. Lift your legs in the air and rest for five breaths.

Now, keep your legs up and lift your torso, try to reach your feet. Hold it for one breath. Do this this six times. When your done, drop and rest for a count of two breaths.

Now... Lift your your shoulders off the floor.and lift your legs from the floor, pick your arms up too and let them hoover for a count of five breaths.

Tell me, how did you do?

30 Days of Abs- Day 3 Sit-up twists!

It's Labor Day! Most of you are probably taking the day off from working out. Who can blame you?

If you do want to get your ab exercise in, here's a fun sit-up with a twist.

Do your sit-up but once up, twist to the right and let your left elbow touch your right knee.
Lay down.
Sit-up- twist to the left and let your right elbow touch your left knee.

Do this set for 15 reps.

After one set, turn over and do a plank.

Now, repeat this set two more times.

30 Days of ABs- Day 2: SIT-UP!

Not only is it a Sunday, it's Labor Day weekend! You're probably sleeping in, relaxing, or going to the beach.
The last thing on your mind is working out. But it's Day two of the Ab Challenge ...so what do you do?

Play calming music.

Find a spot on your floor, and lay down. Stretch your arms above your head. Stretch and hold. Breath in, breath out. Slowly. Inhale. Exhale.  Then put your hands behind your neck. Put your feet on the floor, your knees will be bent.

Slowly - SIT UP! Do this 15 times for three different sets!

When your done, lay there still and inhale...exhale. Close your eyes. Inhale. Exhale.

And then, PLANK!

When your done...go out and enjoy your day!

Other ways to have fun with doing sit-ups, challenge your friends. If you're at a party, this could be a cool drinking game. Play a song, do some sit-ups and the one that does the least has to drink!

If your watching sports of any kind (football, baseball, racing, golf, etc) see how many sit-ups you can do during commercial breaks.

HAVE FUN and BE SAFE this weekend!
