If tomorrow is going to be rainy - I'm going to the gym. I can just sit in front of my TV. It's my off day - but there's no reason for it. I'm feeling great.
So - what are some muscles that we never work out that I should do tomorrow?
I'm going to do some abductor and adductor because I didn't have time for them today.
Any suggestions?

    Have you ever done butt burners on the bosu... with one knee up on the ball and extend the other one straight back. Switch legs. 20 reps each.
    Then 20 reps of the leg going slightly back and out.
    Then the next 20 with your knee bent but bring it straight up to the side so you look like a (peeing dog!) Seriously good burn! You'll def. feel your toosh and upper thighs!

    HMMM IDK Steph you have a pretty solid routine all ready. What part of the body did you last do? I do same body parts different kinds of exercises. IE One day of core work will be mat work and the next will be standing/ cardio core. You can always do a good pilates or yoga session to get a nice long stretch.

    When I fancy a bit of a change up I do my weights on the balance ball. Particular favourite of mine is to take a 15kg weight and do squats on the balance ball (the half ball with the flat bit on the bottom). It's firmed up the insides of my knees beautifully (as well as my *kitten*!). Other ones are to balance on one leg, straighten out the other leg at a 90 degree angle to the floor and, using light weights, stretch out my arms (as if I was doing a reverse fly) and hold for as long as possible. Works the small muscles in the middle of the back like you wouldn't believe!

    My vote is for spinning or get back on the stairmill and get the competition rolling again! Have a complete rest day if your muscles need a break otherwise I say go for it! Or go and do a class!
