Weekly challanges Feb 3rd through Feb9th.

Options
Ok, for those who asked, here is the list for this week! Good thing, because I have slacked off since I have been ill and this is a good way to ease back into my routine. Thanks pals for asking about these, as I need them~


Mon: .......laying on the floor or the bed on your side, raise your leg up and hold for a count of 5, lower, repeat. Do as many as you can. Then lay on the other side and do the other leg.

Tues: Stand facing a chair, hold the chair and lift your leg up and out to the side as far as you can, hold for a count of 5, lower, repeat. Do both legs.

Wed: standing jacks. For these you stand feet hip width apart and as your raise your arms over like in jumping jack, you lower your butt, as in a squat. Hold for a few seconds, stand back up lowering arms, repeat.

Thurs: lay on the floor knees bent and push the small of your back to the floor. Hold for a second, release, repeat.

Friday: Planks, can be done on knees or straight out planks.

Sat: sideways stretch brings arms up hands touching, then bend to the side, hold for a few seconds. Do other side.

Sunday: take it easy today and drink, drink, drink the liquids.

    Californiagirl, you are the best! These will jumpstart my exercising again--like many of us, I haven't done anything for a long time.

    Thanks Wooken for the illustrations. I love the cat dringing from the glass.

    The two of you are reinspiring me and I really need it.:flowerforyou:

    @rbeckner711, you are welcome and most of these are from all the PT I have had over the years, for my spine. Glad you like them. Hope that back feels better ASAP! No fun at all when they hurt.

    Leg lifts done! I am really out of shape and have a head cold, so I only did 5 with each leg. But, at least, I'm getting back into the swing.

    Thanks, Californiagirl.

    I Tuesday and repeated Monday. Sometimes this is how I build up a routine or just get back into exercising. Just what I need.
