Keep it going!

Don't let the wintry weather stop you from getting that workout in. Remember the "quick fixes" I've shown you? Here are some good full body workouts to do in a few minutes:

- 20 Jack Squats, 20 Mountain Climbers, 20 plank rotations (on your elbows, working your obliques) **Repeat sequence 4 times**

- Do 10 8-count body builders (the ones with the pushups).

- While you're heating up your hot chocolate tonight (usually takes at least a minute) do a set of squats holding your baby for extra weight.

- While you're watching that Christmas special this evening SIT ON THE FLOOR! Do some crunches, hold the boat pose, and do some leg lifts (on all fours).

- Finally, while you're brushing your teeth (again, usually for at least a minute) do some squat kicks and finish up with calf raises while you're flossing. :)

You know I love you girls!!

FINALLY!


I have long admired Helen F. for her ability to sport the headband at every workout. I have always wanted to wear headbands, but I've never had luck with them staying "put". Well ladies....I have found our answer (I know we've talked about this). Check it out! They really work...they STAY PUT! Find them at your local Target store. :)
