See you next week.
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. ***I am not a doctor or nutritionist. Please consult your physician before performing any exercises or following any tips shown on this blog.

Saturday's Stretch and Flexibility -- Relax with Me
It's Saturday! Time to stretch!!! Today's routine comes from blogilates. I usually post her crazy challenges, but thought this would be a nice change.
She's exactly where I want to be...on the beach, soaking up the sun (sigh)....
Remember, when you are stretching, take it only as far as your body wants to go, do not force it.

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.
