Ok, all, I gave us 2 weeks off, so back at it!!
Monday. Lay flat on your stomach, Then pull your stomach in and hold. We are working against gravity and this is supposed to be good for our abs.
Tues. On our backs, bring both legs up knees bent. Then lower one leg as close to the floor as you can, hold to a count of at least 5, repeat with other leg. Do as many as you can.
Wed. on our back, knees bent, feet flat on floor. Then slide on leg down, slide back up. These are called heel slides. Repeat each leg, Again, do as many as you can.
Thurs. on our sides, left leg up as far as can, down then out to the side. Do each leg at least 5 times.
Fri. on all fours, hip extensions. We have done these before. Raise leg straight out behind you, hold for a count of 5, back down, then do other side. If you can, also bring the opposite arm straight out in front as you do the leg. They are hard when you first do them, trying to balance. lol
Sat. on our back again and do the bicycle. Remember how to do these? knees bent, legs in the air, then just air cycle. Pump, pump pump.
Sunday. on our back. knees bent. push the small of your back to the floor, cross arms across chest, then raise your shoulders up off the floor slightly, hold for a count of 5, down, repeat. Do as many as you can.
Good luck and have fun!

Monday done...and I have to say - it has made me more aware of holding in my stomach ..... not just during the exercise but as I am walking about too......

Looks like a "tough" week for us lightweights. But I can do them without complaining, I think. Seriously, they look like good exercises to start off the month.0

Yea!!! Been watching this thread for several weeks and waiting for this post. I really, really need to exercise and these daily tasks should...I mean WILL ...be my motivation. This has not been a good summer for me in terms of losing the weight.....great intentions BUT just not following thru. Anybody want to be a friend/cheerleader would really, really be appreciated!!! Need to lose this weight for my health, and my daughter's May wedding. Thanks a bunch...0

Feel free to add me as a friend...I can't promise to inspire you - but we can help each other along the way.....this is a good group to be part of :flowerforyou:

@Jean. so glad you are happy to know you will try and if you don't I get to YELL at you. Oh boy. You best report in each day or else.
LOL
@walkswithart, they can be very hard and I always say, modify them anyway you need to. I don't want anyone hurting themselves.
@kdbug414. Welcome to our group! We will love having you here joining us in these daily routines. As I said to walkswith, modify if you need to.
Now, I best go do today's or you all can YELL at me!
Happy Monday everyone.0 -
Tuesday done.....no need to yell today lol
:bigsmile: :bigsmile:

Thanks, Californiagirl, I really need these as I haven't exercised since Thursday. These are motivation to get me going.
kdbug, feel free to add me as a friend. We can all use a little cheerleading.0 -
@gramanana, you are so welcome for these. Glad you enjoy them.
@ Jean, darn, I was so looking forward to yelling too! lol
As for me, I admit, I can not do the leg lowering ones. I can with the left leg, but not the right. I can't lay my right leg flat since it started bothering me last year. But, I do what I can and that is all that I can.0 -
Wednesday done and dusted! :bigsmile:
Jean0 -
Should have done Thursday's exercises this morning....now after a small surgical procedure I have been told to take it easy......I will add Thursday on to Friday or Saturday....:bigsmile:
Jean0 -
Finally caught up and just did Wednesday and Thursday. Got lost there for a couple of days! :laugh:0

@ Jean, I hope you have a quick recovery and I will excuse you from the exercises for the rest of the week! LOL Sounds like when we had PE in high school and almost always had our "friend" so we did not have to go in the pool.
@gramanana, Good job catching up!
Now, I suppose I should go do mine huh?0 -
Wow I just read this and I am going to start today did Thursday...great idea to keep us in check thanks a lot. LInda Beals0

Californiagirl......I am years past that "friend" but today's procedure reminded me of those days..... :ohwell:

Couldn't keep up this week because yesterday I was lifting some stuff and pulled a muscle in my leg. So I'll be taking it easy, again, so a few days. I was really looking forward to the air bicycle, too. Oh well. Next week is a new week and I'll try again.0
