Exciting night last night of a few rain drops and that has made for a slight break in the temps! Perfect timing because we are almost done with our 10 days of 100 reps!! YES!!!
Today's challenge is going to be working on the abs. I often call this area the last frontier with visible weight loss. It comes down to the right program with a balance of diet and exercise. This particular exercise is a good core strengthener that can also benefit you if you swim or play golf....Russian twist.
To perform this exercise you will start in a sit-up position on the floor and your feet should be kept together and slightly above the ground or put under a stable surface. The torso should be kept straight with the back kept off the ground at a 45 degree angle. Arms should be held together away from the body in a straight fashion and hands kept locked together like a ball or you can hold a weight to increase the difficulty. Next, the arms should be swung from one side to another in a twisting motion, with each swing to a side counting as one repetition. The slower the movement of the arms from side to side, the harder the exercise becomes, working the abdomen that much better. When moving your arms during the exercise, it is crucial to not stop between repetitions or else you will lose the effect of working the abdomen.
Excellent tummy burner to help you say good bye to the last frontier!:)
