Ok, here it is, this months work out challenge!!
Ok, so you will notice some abbreviations and things you may not be familiar with. I ran out of room in my blocks and had to shorten some things. Cardio, there is no specific activity listed, but you can walk, jog, run or even do jumping jacks....suggested time is 20-30 minutes. RC stands for reverse crunches, PU is short for pushups and SB is for side bends.
Everthing is pretty standard and most of you should know what they are except for the twists. These are done by sitting on the floor, legs stretched out, knees bent with feet flat on the floor. You will need to lean back slightly. I hold 3-5 pound weights while doing this, about 8-12 inches away from chest. Then you will twist moving your arms from one side to the next almost touching the floor, twisting to both sides equals one. I was unable as of yet to find a video of this to share, but I will keep searching. I am also going to try and get links up to all the exercises shown, if you need some help until then, just let me know and I will help you get started.
I ended yesterday with my results of June which are now my beginnings for July. You can find those HERE. If you joining in or following along, let me know. Would love to see your results and get some feedback!
Alright, lets do this thing! Goodluck!!
Good luck dear! I think I may as well print this and do it too. Need more weight to get rid of :)

ReplyDeleteThanks! Im really working hard on this......hoping to knock five pounds out this month!
DeleteThese are known as Russian twists try searching for a video using that. I love Russian twists and do them with both hand weights, usually 5 lbs, and also a 8 lb medicine ball, not at the same time of course.
ReplyDeleteThankyou so much!! I updated the post adding a link to a demonstration video. I have done these before at the gym but had no idea what they were really called!
DeleteThanks for sharing this info with us. I love "challenges" and at the moment it's been a challenge just getting to the gym 4 times a week.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing at Tuesdays with a Twist! Hope to see you again.
