Too Tired to Workout?

If you could commit to 15 minutes each day that's all it would take to give you a boost of energy - and makes you want to keep going.

Morning/evening:  sit-ups/crunches, planks, or leg lifts of all sorts are just a few of the things you could do.  These are especially great if you're trapped in doors a great deal or live in the city.

Sit-Ups:  above all, protect your lower back and upper neck.  Lay on you back and put your feet on a chair, sofa or your bed and do crunches.  Do not use your arms to force your head/neck forward or you'll cause damage.  Instead, clasp your hands behind your head, elbows out to the sides, and lift with your stomach muscles ONLY.

Planks:  Lay flat on your stomach then lift up with your toes and forearms.  Keep your entire body straight as a, well, plank.  Back should be flat and straight, no sagging in the middle. Try to hold for as long as you can. NOTE: if you have cronic neck or back pain doing a Plank will only irritate those areas more. Omit this exercise.


Leg Lifts:  Side lifts, inner thigh lifts, back kick and back leg lifts are just a few.  I found a great link with better instructions for you to try.

Sculpt your legs and butt and surprise everyone when you emerge from the wintery depths in the spring and show off your hot bikini body!
