Today’s Workout
60 min pilates class
30 min stair master
If you are doing this 30 day fitness challenge, I want to encourage you to keep going! Think of this more like a daily practice and act of self love rather than asking yourself ,”When will I see results?” Moving your body is a privilege. I have had the honor of working with people who just beg for the ability to walk again.
To give you some perspective, I wrote a blog titled: “MEET DREMA“. It’s a story about me helping a woman walk again after being bed ridden for over 28 years. After reading that it seems strange that we take our able bodies for granted.
When I was a child I LOVED gymnastics! However, once I got midway through high school I was no longer practicing and I lost all my gymnastics strength, and range of motion. I haven’t even attempted gymnastics training until today!
I did my best to remember a beginner workout and to share it with you!
I have to admit my yoga practice gave me a little help since I see yoga as gymnastics without the plyometrics!
I can’t wait to get my flexibility and strength back! Who says at 35 that it is too late to train your body to move in ways we did as kids? I am saying NO LIMITATIONS BABY!
Today’s Workout
45 min of playing around with gymnastics
NOPE, you aren’t mistaken there is no video for today. I already talked in other videos about how I love yoga and Zumba so I passed for today and gave myself a little video break!
I worked for several hours today on the fitness guide that I am putting together and I love it! I can’t wait to have it ready for YOU! 🙂
Today’s Workout
60 min Zumba
60 min Yoga (back bends class) My back feels incredible from all the back bends and chest opening exercises today!
60 min walk
I have always loved jumping on the big trampoline with my kids, but a couple years passed that I hadn’t bounced. One day I decided to go and jump on the rebounder and I was stunned with how sore my lower abs & pelvic floor muscles were! I couldn’t remember the last time those muscles were so sore! I wonder if it plays a role in improved sexual performance and pleasure. Hmmm… 🙂
Some of the Many Benefits of Rebounding
Bloating puffy water retention is eliminated/reduced
Rebounding enhances digestion and elimination processes
Eases menstrual discomfort
Low impact- easy on joints
Fun
Brings variety to exercise regime
Massive lymphatic flush (which in turns puts the body in major clean house mode and improves immune function) Vigorous exercise such as rebounding is reported to increase lymph flow by 15 to 30 times.
Strengthened pelvic floor muscles
Your face gets firmer!!! Each cell of your body is like a balloon. This exercise puts them repeatedly under stress as they need to resist the increased G force (when the balloon reaches the maximum elongation). With time, the cell’s membrane get thicker, thus firmer, and gains elasticity.
Results from Rebounding
People who rebound find they are able to work longer, sleep better, and feel less tense and nervous. The effect is not just psychological, because the action of bouncing up and down against gravity, without trauma to the musculoskeletal system, is one of the most beneficial aerobic exercises ever developed.
Tight Firm Booty (no more saddlebags or saggy booty)
Sexy Abdominals
Strong Healthy Back
Improved Range of Motion
Prevents and Heals Back Injuries
I have always admired the long lean bodies of the people who do pilates. Today I took a great class and really felt my muscles engaging! I hope you try the froggy exercise and the modified bridge exercise in the video and let me know what you think!
If you are running through life feeling overwhelmed and not really making the impact you know you want, or wishing you felt alive and filled with passion then you are going to LOVE me!
