Hello friends!
Fitness Wednesday is changing just a bit, Marshall’s schedule no longer permits him to be part our posts. Bummer, huh?! No need to fret though, we will still be sharing weekly posts, but they will most likely be more about the images.
I feel that I can guide y’all through the work-outs, but unfortunately I am not really qualified nor confident enough to write the why and how’s of each one, as I surely don’t want to mislead with incorrect information!
So that being said, today’s post I am starting a 4 week series on ab workouts! I have always enjoyed working on my core, and now is the time to get to work on them for swimsuit season that is literally just a few short months away.
You absolutely don’t need a gym membership for the next few week’s post, so let’s get to it.
Weighted Sit-ups, y’all!
I am using a medicine ball to demonstrate, but grab anything that has weight to it from around the house!
Here is your starting position: notice my hands are directly over my shoulders.
End position: notice my hands are still relatively over my shoulders, not pitched forward- when you try this you will notice a difference in intensity.
You want to keep it really controlled, no bouncing, watch your posture- try to keep your back as straight as possible in this position.
Lastly, don’t forget to breath.
Now it’s your turn, grab a coffee table book or if you have some dumbbells, grab one and hold it with both hands.
Give me 3 sets of 15-20 sit-ups and then let me know how it went!
xoxo, Tamara
