A minor back injury and the holiday hustle and bustle kept me from working out for 12 DAYS!! Ugh…that was torture. BUT, I'm healed and back at it. Remember to listen to your body and give it rest when it is telling you it needs time off!
Now…lets get to the POST HOLIDAY WORKOUT….
Start at the top left side of the "V" working down and then up ending with the right upper side corner:)
REVERSE CRUNCHES: - lie on your back, hands can be tucked under the hips or out to the side for stability. Raise legs straight up with feet flat. The goal is to raise your lower body straight up as if you are trying to stamp your feet to the ceiling. You could raise anywhere from 1/2" to 2"+, whatever you can do as long as you are doing your best. This exercise focuses mostly on mid to lower abs.
DUMBBELL SWING/KETTLEBELL SWING: - if you have a kettle bell use that, if not you can use a dumbbell if you can get your hands around each end. Stand in a wide open stance with toes slightly outward, dumbbell or kettle bell between your legs, squat slightly and thrust the hips forward while swinging the DB or KB upward; only to shoulder height.
JUMP OVERS: - place an obstacle for yourself. It can be a bench, stool, box, ball, whatever works for you. Jump over, turn around and jump back to where you started. That counts as 1 rep.
