What a long title=)! How are you feeling this morning?
Since we are talking about workouts and doing activities I thought I would honor the upcoming sports season! Tis the season! If you haven’t been to our template gallerey yet you have to check it out for all the sports projects they have completed that you can just modify and customize to fit your teams image. Template Gallerey So digitally scrapbook your team’s season and save ToNs of money and time. Quick idea. open one account for the team and have everyone log into the same account to load their photos all into the same spot! If you are deciding to make team cards out of the decks of cards here is a website you can go to for the Lanyards
Now for the workout. We have worked on lower and upper body so far. It is time to work specifically on stomach. I like to work with a ball that i can throw to my kids as i do a sit up, or have them sit on my feet, or give them a high five as i make my way up after another sit up. Have them cheer you on and they can practice counting with you! Make a goal for yourself and work your way up to do a couple sets. I LOVE This one: on your hands and knees, back flat, stomach tucked in, lift your right leg (like a dog would=) and lower and lift and lower, do this 20 times with each leg. Next put your leg out beside you at a right degree angle and push it out behind you and bringing it back to a right angle. Try and keep your knee and foot in line with your back. 20 times with each leg…. your not done yet. If you need some motivation.. have your child lay on the floor close to you and lift your leg over them and have them help you count… lift your leg at a right angle, keep your knee in one spot and kick your foot out toward your shoulder or towards the head of your body. THIS ONE IS A BUTT BURNER…yep.. 20 times to start. Make it your goal to get up to 40 each time. YOU CAN DO IT!!!! Just give it a try and see how you do! Do as many as you can, if that is only 3, that is great, build from there. I like to add this workout on to any other work out I do.
Each time you do a little more movement with your body you will feel stronger and want to do more activities that will get your heart pumping. I would love to hear your ideas about what to do with your kids. I once new a girl who was a leader at Stroller Strides. Stroller Strides is a fun place to meet people with an exercise focused on you but with your kids. Find one in your area and get movin this spring!
