Move # 3
Move #2
Move #1We'd like to include a variety of things on our blog. We'll see what works and if there's something specific you'd like to see, let us know! These will include a new workout move every month, reviews of diet and exercise books and programs, fitness and nutrition tips, workout routines, information on athletic events, healthy recipes, diet and exercise myths and more.
January's move of the month is a 3 part ab workout from Shape Magazine. Core strength is so important. So many people suffer from back pain that can be alleviated by building a stronger core. To build a sculpted midsection you need to do more than just crunches. Do this routine 2 to 3 times a week. Do one set of each, in order, rest briefly in between and repeat twice.
Move # 1- SEATED KNEE TUCK
Sit with your knees pulled into your chest, feet raised, and hands on the ground out to the sides and slightly behind you; round your back slightly and engage your abs. keeping your chest lifted, slowly extend your legs in front of you, off the ground, as you lean back. Slowly return to the starting position, bringing knees in, and repeat. Do 6 to 8 reps.
Move # 2 - SIDE PLANK
Lie on your right side and support yourself on your right elbow; place left hand on hip. Extend legs and place left foot in front of right on the ground. Contract your abs and raise your hips so your body forms a straight line from head to feet. Hold for 20-30 seconds; switch sides and repeat. Do 2 on each side.
Move #3 - TWISTING JACKKNIFE
Lie face up with legs straight on the ground, arms out to the sides. Raise left leg and reach right hand toward outside of left ankle, lifting right shoulder blade. Lower to starting position and repeat with opposite arm and leg to complete 1 rep. do 6-8 reps.
