Happy Friday!!!
It's funny but....Let's get one thing straight first, beans are not vegetables--they are legumes!!!...and corn is a grain!!!
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.

Thursday's Total Body/Cardio -- GymRa's 30 Minute Intermediate Full Body Workout
Today's workout comes from another new channel I discovered on YouTube called GymRa. It's kind of fun to workout to a British accent--love it.
The warm up is kind of short--you may want to do a bit more.
One word on form--while doing the plank--keep your butt down--her's is up just a bit.
One other note--while it is a good idea to have something to eat after a workout, ignore the ad for the drink at the end, and do a longer cool-down/stretch instead. Then eat some real food or drink a smoothie that you make yourself using real ingredients.
