Like leg raise!

1. On an exercise mat, lie on your back, arms alongside your body, palms facing downwards. Stretch out your legs in front of you and press your feet together.
2. Contract your abs and slowly raise your legs from the ground. Stop when you’ve formed a 45-degree angle.
3. Gently lower your legs until they’re two inches from the ground, and bring them back up to a 45-degree angle.  http://www.divine.ca/en/health/exercise-finder/c_266_i_23/leg-raise-1.html?do=single_exercise&part_id=1&muscle_id=

 

I did 30 yesterday! That counts!  So now I’m up in 130 total for the week.

470 left!

I think I have to do a lot more today.

Keep it up!!

Sit-ups

Just got home from the gym. 100 sit-ups done, only 500 left for the week challenge . Nice!
How is it going for you?

Today I did my sit-ups with a exercise ball, its fun and easy.

Stability ball are more effective for the stomach muscles than lying on the floor. It also doesn't hurt your back and it also great for the balance!

 Here is a good video that shows how to do it proper http://www.videojug.com/film/how-to-do-crunches-with-an-exercise-ball

 Good luck skinny girls!

Count blocks

A tip for your daily walk.

Make a mental note of a number of blocks that you feel would be a good morning or evening walk for you.  For example, every afternoon, I walk a 16 block route home from the office.

This very simple tip is perfect for incorporating into your daily routine to and from work or wherever you need to go.

Try adding on 2 blocks every week to push yourself!
