My workout Part Two (but don't eat the floor)

Before we continue on with today’s portion of the daily workout thingy, I will proceed to describe a dream I had to you last night:

Okay, well, I actually don’t remember any dreams that I had last night. All I remember was coming back from some awards banquet for my brothers, watching football, thinking about brownies, watching more TV and then getting knocked out the moment my head hit the pillow. Next I knew it, it was 6 am and my alarm decided to go off. I guess that means I slept well, despite the Dr. Pepper I had at the banquet.

Well, WHAT a dream.

Oh, yeah. Never mind. That really happened.

Anyway, on to our teen fitness full-body workout part two! Today we will work our back and our buttocks.

Now, lie on your stomach. This means you’re looking at the floor and your back is up. Do not taste the floor. You don’t know where it’s been. Stretch your legs and arms out, so that you are like a long rug on the floor. Okay, lift up your right arm and your left leg. Make sure that at least your chest is off the floor and most of your thigh is, too. Now, hold for 20 seconds. Switch afterwards, holding your left arm and right leg up for 20 seconds. Rest. Lastly, lift both arms and both legs simultaneously, and if you can, hold for 40 seconds. Make sure to really engage and contract both your upper and lower back. Rest again. You’re done with that!

The second and last exercise I will describe to you today is done on your hands and knees. Square your hips and your shoulders, and now lift your leg up, still bent, so that your thigh is level with your back, and then slowly lower it back down. You leg doesn’t touch the floor, just stays hovering about an inch above it. Really squeeze your buttocks as you come up, and control it as it comes down, don’t let momentum carry it. Beginners do 15-20 each side, intermediate can do 20-35 each side, and advanced can do 32-50 each side.

As I said before, please feel free to comment if the descriptions of these exercises aren’t clear. I’ll try and clear them up as best as I can.

Thank you all for your attention!

Till next time,

Jessica
