love22step

I've seen the mind and nutrition challenges, but not our exercise challenge for the week. Do we have one yet?

vold94

I don't see Ansley1 or my name on the list... is that because we already registered as partners?

EXERCISE WEEK 1:
Here goes nothing:

PREFACE:
I AM ASSUMING THIS WILL BE AN ADDENDUM TO REGULARLY SCHEDULED EXERCISE ROUTINES FOR BETTYS. IF YOU ARE UNDERWHELMED, LET ME KNOW AND I WILL GET BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD. ROCK AND ROLL LADIES!

TOP HALF: CHANGE YOUR GRIP
Your biceps are the strongest of all arm muscles and make a great curve just above the elbow. Make sure to perform bicep curls with three hand positions: palms up, palms down, and thumbs to the side. Perform 12 repetitions to the front and then 12 repetitions of each to the side.

BOTTOM HALF AND MORE:
TURKISH GET-UP
I'm pretty sure that not all Turks are men and yet I rarely see women trying this move. But it's great for your arms, core, shoulder, legs and coordination so you should add this one to your list. Lay flat on your back with the kettlebell (I would say weight optional ‘til comfortable with this move) in your right hand. Press the kettlebell straight up and bend your right knee. Keeping the kettlebell above you, use your left arm to push yourself to a seated position. Bring your left leg behind you to a lunge and then stand up. (Video - if ever an exercise needed an explanatory video, it's this one) Dude tip: Keep your elbow locked out. Trust me, you do not want to conk yourself on the head with the kettlebell.

Hope these serve us well! In Bettys we trust.....

Hope everyone enjoys the exercises! They are a lot of fun after doing 30 DS level 2. Highly recommended. I did 3 sets of 12 each upper body exercise with 2# weights. Then did the turkish anhiliation with 2#. Only did 5 on each side. (What a wimp, lol). Have a great day everyone!

Good Morning all. I just checked in - a day late. :frown: Was not feeling well at all yesterday, still not 100% today but ok. I am travelling today and at a conference the rest of the week. We will be staying in a hotel and eating out for about 4 days straight. :ohwell: Wish me luck!!!

I understand that, I have been dealing with illness & injury for the past month. Am finally getting back to it. I have faith in you, but good luck!

Is there a video for the second exercise, and can I substitute a dumbbell? I'm having a hard time picturing this.

KimberlyBryant

Good morning! Maid4richie and I will be partners sooo excited to get this started!

mamabearr

Is there a video for the second exercise, and can I substitute a dumbbell? I'm having a hard time picturing this.

As am I lol

vold94

well I did the bicep curls sets of 12 of each direction with 8 pound weights. Did not do the turkish exercise as I am not exactly sure how it's suppose to be done. I did add 500 crunches and am heading to the gym to do circuit training.

Have really been watching more what I am eating and it's driving me crazy. While I'm really trying to keep my sugar levels down, while doing that, all of the food I'm trying to substitue it with is higher in sodium. What is a girl to do?

As for the meditation. I'm going to try to sit in quiet later tonight, but never have been very good at sitting and doing nothing.

nomerebutterfly

Getting going on the right track. I'm not succumbing to my TOM cravings that make no sense for the nutrition of my body. I need more veggies and protein today, but otherwise I think I'm doing great. I feel skinny. As far as exercise, I needed to change up my normal routine over the past few weeks anyway. I welcome this change in grip. Keep it up, my bombshells!
