I have experienced the AMAZING benefits working out on a consistent basis can give you and I feel a strong desire to share some of the ideas and things I have learned with others so they can start getting in their own routine and feel some of the same benefits. Exercise is just one step on the path to better health, which I believe we as a whole are in real need of. Every step counts and you will find as you take one step and begin to feel successful you will find it easier to take more steps.... "not that the nature of the thing has changed but that our power to do has increased." (Ralph Waldo Emerson) I am beginning this blog with this end in mind, to help you take a step; or, if you've taken the step already, to keep on going!

Legs, Gluteus, and CORE

Today I grabbed this CRAZY LEGS workout to do with friends, but first, we started with some jump roping and these 10 core exercises.

1. Sit-ups (Regular, old fashioned, Rocky style sit-ups)
2. In and Outs
3. Mini Bicycle Forward
4. Mini Bicycle Backwards
5. Crunches with your legs at a 90 degree angle
6. Heels to the Heavens
7. Regular Bicycle
8. Side Crunch Left
9. Side Crunch Right
10. Russian Twist

We do these core exercise almost every time we meet (2x a week) We started out with 10 reps each time until we could do most of them, then moved to 15, then 20. So you can pick your own pain. ;)

Arms, Booty, Core

OUCH! These are all labeled as beginner, but I'm thinking that's not really so. Plus she manages to stay perky through the whole video. Impressive. These are simple but very effective workouts. Good ones to build into your routines two or three times a week.

I did these with a jog outside today. There's a chance of rain and it's beautiful, not to mention the fantastic smell of the desert on a rainy day. Oh happy me. :)

*Form is important. If you can't do the exercise with the correct form, then modify to avoid injury.*
