FITNESS FRIDAY!

It's Friday....time to celebrate and enjoy time off from work. I do love my job, but man were the kids a handful this week! Although today I got to make "Cat in the Hat" hats with my three first graders which was fun! It was so cute to see them wearing their hats :)

So I want to make Friday's: FITNESS FRIDAYS!

That means that on Friday's my posts will be about fitness.

Today I want to share a workout that will help tone your lower abdominals and help get rid of belly buldge. To do this exercise you will need an area of carpet and two paper plates. If you don't have paper plates, you can try using hardwood floors and two paper towels.

Here's what you do. Put each foot on a paper plate. Bend forward and put your hands on the floor and get into downward dog. If you don't know what downward dog is, basically get into plank position and bring your feet forward (keeping your legs straight) and stick your butt in the air. From downward dog, slide your feet back so that your body is straight (in plank position). Now slide your feet back in to downward dog keeping your legs straight. Repeat these steps for 20 reps.

Position 1 (downward dog)

Position 2

Doing this workout and other ab workouts alone will not get rid of belly fat; You need to incorporate cardio. So after doing twenty reps of this move, get out and walk your dog, or go for a twenty minute jog or run, or do 100 jumping jacks, 20 jump squats, and 20 rotating lunges.

READY? GET MOVING!!

And if that didn't get you motivated to workout, here's something that might:
