Wednesday's Workout

Hey Everyone!
This week has been pretty crazy!
And because of the stinkin weather we have been stuck inside this week.
But I haven't forgotten about the Wednesday's Workout!
So the first workout that I'd love to share with you is...
Well...I'm sure there is a name for it but I don't quite know what it's called...
I've been doing it for awhile and love what it does.
I guess it's a leg lift but standing up.
You can hold onto a chair, one leg planted on the ground, lift the other leg as high as you want and take it back down next to your planted foot but don't put it down.
I usually lift my leg to a 45 degree angle.
I do one set of 60 lifts then switch legs.
I do 2 sets each foot.
If you have good balance, you can do these without holding onto anything.
And you can really do them anywhere.
I do them whenever I brush my teeth, do the dishes, etc.
They really don't take much from you to do.
And they work the outside of your glutes.
After the second set you will feet it.
I'm working on getting my camera fixed so you'll have to take the phone pictures for a little bit.

The second workout I chose also works your glutes and hips.
It's called the Swinger.
  • Start on ground on all fours; for extra counterbalancing support, prop left hand up on fingertips and bend left elbow slightly.
  • Extend right leg behind you at hip level, toes pointed; then, keeping hips still, bring it directly out to side.
  • Hold for 1 count; return to start.
  • Do 8 reps. Switch sides and repeat. Do 2 sets.
This one is a new favorite.
These two workouts are so easy to do and don't take much time to do them.
Maybe...5 minutes?
You could even add last weeks workouts to these two and have an awesome lower workout!
We are going to get those tooshies ready for summer and swim suits!

Report on last week:
On Thursday, my inner thighs felts amazing!
I love the feeling of being sore.
My arms were sore and I could really feel it when I went to lift my baby above my head.
I could only hold him for a few seconds before my arms started to shake a little.
I'm hoping to do my reports on Thursday but something came up last week.

Take 5 minutes to do these two workouts. 
You will not regret doing them :)

I love this!
Walk, run, crawl...Anything!
And this doesn't have to specifically be about running/walking!
It could be about anything that you are trying to do.
Slow is better than nothing.

Happy Wednesday!
