Exercises for April 14-20

I took last week off. Hope you all enjoyed it. NO more though. We are back at it!!

Monday: wood chops. Stand feet shoulder width apart. Bring hands together then up to your right shoulder, then swing down as if chopping wood. Do 10 each side.

Tues. Knee strikes. Hands up over head, as you bring your knee up, swing arms down along your side. Do each knee at least 10 times

Wed. Kicks. Gentle kicks out in front of you. Be careful not to lock your knee up. Bring your knee up then kick straight out in front of you. Do 10 each leg.

Thurs. March in place for 3 minutes.

Friday. Do the hokey pokey. Come on put your left leg in, put your left leg out, put your left leg in and shake it all about, do the hokey poky and turn yourself around, that's what it's all about.Hokey Poky.

Sat. Go for a walk around the house or outside. Do 5 minutes times 3 walks

    Don't know how many of these I'll get done this week, but I sure am going to try. The rest of this month will be filled with family fun and very busy, but these exercises help to keep me to keep me limber and that's why I love the.

    Thank you California girl for doing this for us. I had not found this until right now - don't know how I missed it.

    How do you record these in the exercise diary?

    Thanks

    Thank you for this. It is Tuesday April 15 (TAX DAY!) so when I get home I will do Monday's and Tuesday's exercises. I need to get my butt into gear. I need to lose at least 50 pounds. Everyone have a great day.

    @Tobybear1, you are welcome.

    @Rebamae, you too are welcome. Glad you found it. To record it, go under aerobics and record how ever many minutes it took you to do them. I have to tell you though, the calories burned here on MFP are off according to my HRM.
