Mommy Moves

This blog is inspired by all the women out there who want to be strong, healthy & sexy, but spend most of the day changing diapers, wiping snotty noses, cleaning up messes, preparing meals, folding laundry, and only showering on the very best days. :) And its dedicated to ANYONE who wants to get healthier. period. May we all find a few minutes a day to dedicate to ourselves and our own bodies and create some endorphins to increase our self-esteem, energy, and patience levels.

THE PLANK

THE HIGH PLANK

One of the most basic and good for your whole body moves that you can do. Its an essential one. There are about 100+ variations and rotations to mix it up (but we have to save some for later). The high and low planks are about the same, but emphasizes some different arm muscles in each.

THE LOW PLANK

HOLD PLANK (high or low or a couple of each) for 30 sec. to 1 min.
One LONG rep. Do 3 - 5 sets.

Don't forget to BREATHE steady throughout the hold.

Motivational Tip

If you are a list person, write down 5-8 exercises a day on your list along with everything else you want to accomplish. That way when you get a few minutes here and there, you can do a move or two AND cross something off your list (which feels great - that is the reason you right the list in the first place, right - for the feeling you get when you cross things off).

If its easier to set aside 30+ minutes for exercise. . . just do it around the same time everyday. The kids will get used to your routine and may start to join you, which is cute and rewarding to know you are teaching them how to live a healthy lifestyle.

Figure out what works for YOU and YOUR family and YOUR personality. Otherwise, you won't stick with it.
