Fit Tip

Don't forget that eating right and exercise are what make a healthy and hot body.  So, as Christmas is just about here, your diet might be on the fit cliff so don't let exercise, or lack thereof, be the push to send you over.  So no excuses, here is a circuit to hit in the living room (or anywhere!) for the next week.

Do all of these exercises for 60 seconds each with no rest in between moves:

1. Jumping jacks
2. Squat to curl (no dumbbells?  use 2 liter bottles, canned foods, shampoo bottles...)
3. Push-ups (use a stability ball if possible, hands on ball/feet on floor)
4. Single leg cobra (stand on one leg, dumbbells in front of body, lean forward slightly.  pull arm opposite of stance leg back and down-keep thumb pointing up.  pause and return to start.) switch sides after 30 seconds.
5. Burpee
6. Stability leg curl (if no ball, use a riser available, stair, ottoman, stacked books...and perform hip extensions/bridge)
7. Alternating dumbbell row
8. Single leg lateral raise (stand on single leg, toes pointing forward, knee slightly bent.  raise one arm out to shoulder level, palms down.  pause.  return to start)  switch sides after 30 seconds
9. Mountain climbers
 

Add this to your schedule this week.  You know how to reach me if you need help with the exerises or just have any questions (or complaints! ho-ho-ho!).
