The 50's are a sandwich generation of fitness; we don't want to work out like we did 15, 10 or even 5 years ago, yet we aren't ready for the "senior" classes either. I'm revamping this blog to be a blend of health and fitness tips that I hope all of you "fiftysomethings" will find helpful.

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.
Today I'm posting two workouts because I missed yesterday. I found a new channel on YouTube called XHIT Daily. Both workouts are from here. No warm up or cool down are provided, please do those on your own. You need a stability ball for a few of the exercises.
The first one is an abdominal workout consisting of 7 exercises, each done for 1 minute.
The second is a beginner upper body routine that consists of 13 exercises each done for 15 reps. Because she does one exercise right after another with little rest, this has a bit of a fat burning/cardio element as well. You need a ball, or bench/coffee table to lay on and a set of dumb bells.
One note, when she is doing chest flyes, the heading says she's doing upright rows. She does those later and they are labeled correctly.
