Happy Monday!!
How was your weekend?! Did you exercise? :D Did you try the jump rope routine?! It's a great way to get in some cardio even if you're not home! Bring FIT on...lol! The photo at the top of this post is my daughter Cameran! She had surgery this past weekend to correct a severe curve in her back caused by scoliosis. Her surgery ended up taking 9 hours! YES...9 hours!! She had 2 rods and 24 pins put in her back. She grew 1 inch taller and her back looks FABULOUS! It's amazing what surgical procedures can be done now days!! I have to admit though, watching my daughter in pain as she recovers is TOUGH! The mom side in me, wants to take away the pain by switching places with her! The personal trainer in me, wants to take her body out of the hospital bed and get those muscles moving ;) Going through this crazy crazy crazy experience (lol) has really made me appreciate the tools that are available for us to live a healthy AND fit life! Last week, I posted a stabilization exercise routine. Did you do the routine 3 days?! :D This week, I want you to do the same routine AND add extra sets (up to 4 sets) and/or do more reps (up to 20 reps). Again, do the routine 3 days this week. Those of you who aren't beginners and want something more challenging, you can do the following exercise routine 3 days this week: 30 Jumping Jacks; 5 Pushups; 25 High Knees; 7 Burpees; 10 Crunches; 7 Squats; 5 Pushups; 10 Crunches; 5 Pushups; 7 Squats; 30 Jumping Jacks; 5 Pushups; 25 High Knees; 1 Minute Wall Sit. Repeat 3 times. I enjoy doing body weight exercises because the only equipment you need is yourself! This week while I'm sitting in a hospital chair, I'm going to be figuring out how I can pull off these exercises in my daughter's room :D If you have any questions OR comments, I'd love to hear from you! Have a great FIT day! Bring it on!! See you on Wednesday :)
