Tuesday's Trunk & Core -- Stability Ball Core Workout

Today's workout comes from .  It is Day 23 of her 30 day workout challenge.

All 10 exercises use a stability ball.  If you don't have one, she gives an alternate workout on her website, benderfitness.com.  The exercises are done for 50 seconds with 10 seconds rest.

No warm up or cool down are provided, please do those on your own.

If you have back issues, don't do the back-bend over the ball--too much risk.

Thursday's Total Body/Cardio -- Shape It Workout

Today's workout comes from Melissa Bender.  It is Day 17 of a 30 day challenge she is doing on her YouTube channel. 

The workout is about 15 minutes long.  No warm up or cool down/stretch are provided.

Here are a couple of modifications:

If the table top knee touch is too difficult, just alternate lifting up your legs and leave the arm movement out of it.

For the heel tap leg lifts, as soon as you feel your back arch, stop the legs.  You really don't want to take your legs much past 45 degrees, more than this puts a lot of stress on your lower back.

Wednesday's Wild/Warrior Workout -- Cardio HIIT

Well, yesterday was Fat Tuesday, so it's only appropriate that the wild/warrior workout be set for today.  I hope you didn't have too many Pazckis!  Thankfully, I don't like them.  So, if you ate it, negate it!!!

Today's workout comes from Melissa Bender.  It is day 2 from a 30 Day challenge that she has on her YouTube channel and website.  It is a 16 minute HIIT (high intensity interval training) routine.

The first video is a tutorial that goes through each exercise you will do, which is nice.  I recommend watching this first.

The second video is the actual 16 minute workout.  Neither warm up nor cool down/stretch are included.  Please do those on your own.
