Alot of people I know say they don' t have time to workout. I say they are crazy. You have to make time in order to br successful in anything that you do.
You don't have to be a whole hour. There are plenty of workouts you can do in 30-45 minutes. Shit they even have 10min workouts. There's walking, dancing, hiking, biking. Do anything thats gonna make you sweat. Have sex, that will help you burn calories. Just put in the effort. Start small if you have too, but just start.
Here are 5 five moves that will help you widdle that middle.
1. Obliques bench crunch
2 Reverse crunch
3. Side plank with overhead raise
4. Single legged plank
5. Weighted windmill
Obliques bench crunch targets internal and external obliques, and rectus abdominis. If u don't have a bench, an ottoman or stability ball will do just fine.
Reverse crunch targets transverse abdominis, rectus abdominis. Reverse crunches help prevent upper back rounding and also strengthen the lower back to counteract long sessions of sitting.
Side plank overhead raise targets rectus abdominis and internal and external obliques. Beginners should keep your bottom hip on the floor and perform without weights. Lift your hips when you get stronger.
Single legged plank targets transverse abdominis, erector spinae, and gluteus maximus. If you are starting out, try staying on your knees.
Weighted windmill targets internal and external obliques. If your flexibility doesnt allow you to reach far, aim for your calf. As you complete each rep, initiate the action with your torso, rather than pulling with your top arm.
Though these moves will tighten your tummy, a clean diet and regular cardio are needed to get the job done. Luv & Blessins!!!
Did you see the picture of my weight? Omg, I'm so excited. My clothes are not extra tight, and I'm feeling good. If I keep this up, I can probably reach my goal of 145lbs by christmas.
I'm slowly weaning off the soda. I know I can do it, cause I gave up drinking Red Bull for 6 months now. I would have so much energy from drinking it, and I would crash about an hour later. I also realized it was making me bloated. So I replaced the Red Bull with mango juice, green tea, and cranberry juice, and water.
If I can drop this weight, I know you can too. So keep it up. Luv & Blessins!!!
Ok, so today is day 7, of my lose 5lbs in a week with Jillian Michaels dvd. When I started I was 184.7lbs. As of today, I am 180.2lbs. So losing only 4lbs was still great.
Will I continue this strive to lose 5lbs in a week? You bet! I've already been successful in losing weight. I weighed 236lbs three years ago, and I was so unhappy. It takes time and patience. For me, the results were worth the wait, and worth the effort.
So let's continue to workout, and strive for a healthy life. Luv & Blessins!!!
I have gained a pound, but thats ok. I know working out aint easy. When I get stressed, I like to turn to caffeine. I know it's wrong of me, and I will not make excuses.
So today I will have 2 cardio sessions. I will do Jillian Michaels this morning, and tonight I will do Dance Central on Xbox Kinect. No soda for me today. Well, I know I need to cut the soda out period. I love cranberry juice, and I'll only drink water if it's ice cold. I have my gallon of water ready. This is what I'll be drinking on all day to aide in the shedding of this one pound. So wish me luck, and we will see what tomorrow brings. Luv & Blessins
