My favorite exercise of the Week
posted on 12/14/08 6:11 am
Yeah I've been slacking in the blog dept. Sorry! Anywho, I'm going to start posting these in here for people who keep asking. Feel the burn :)

I am by no means a fitness expert, nor am I in super great shape, there are SO many here who are better at the workout thing than I... but I get alot of PMs and questions about what I do in my workouts. So I thought I'd share a few of my favorite exercises and if you want some variety you can try them with me :)

A good place to look for exercises to work various parts of your body is about.com, they have lots of workout routines, with pics and video, for all fitness levels and fitness goals.

Anywho - my favorite this week is a core exercise. A strong core helps you with every single other exercise you can do, as well as overall health. Good back, oblique and abdominal muscles can help with back pain, posture, and even respiration. This is one that almost anyone can do, no equipment required! It works your lower back without back strain, and your butt - you'll feel it I promise, even though it looks super-easy.

Supermans

Lay on the floor, on your stomach and stretch your arms out in front of you, feet straight and heels flexed, face towards the floor. You can put a rolled up towel under your waist to support your back and one under your face if you want to, for comfort.

There are two ways to do this, its up to you. First is alternating:

Lift your left arm straight up off the floor, along with your right leg. Squeeze your buns as you do this, keep your feet flexed (toes NOT pointed) and don't forget to breathe! Hold for 5-10 counts (up to you). Return to start. Lift your right arm and left leg, hold for 5-10 counts (you can increase this as you become more comfortable). Return to start. You should pause in between and don't do this fast. It's a slow and controlled kind of movement and hold. I do 40 of these, so its 20 for each side, you can do 10/10 to start or whatever is comfy for you.

Alternating Superman Exercise

Option 2: Non alternating:

From the same start position as above, lift BOTH arms and BOTH legs, making a small curve with your back, and hold for a 20-30 count. Remember to squeeze your butt muscles and keep your feet flexed. Return to start. Wait a beat and do it again.

Pretty easy huh? I was surprised at how much I felt this when I did it.

Have fun :)
