FCG: Week 7 Exercise Challenge: Alterna-LUNGE!
Ok everyone,
We are talking July now, it's summer just about everywhere so we are picking out a good alternative lunge to work the glutes. A body sculpt video I did last week had this and I thought it was a good alternative to all the basic lunges I have been doing recently. Do it with or without the dumbells.
FCG: Week 27 Exercise Challenge: Tricept Raises
Hi everyone, Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving. I did our challenge and got my butt outside for a run before eating the big feast on Thanksgiving. It had been a while since I hit the pavement, so I took an easy pace and told myself since I was doing it slower, I would honor the distance of my typical loop from my parents house, which is somewhere between 2.5 and 3 miles.What is a Superset?
There may be a time when you have little time to get in a good workout, a superset is a great way to get in a butt kicking workout in a short period of time. A superset is when you perform two or more exercises in a row with no rest. You can superset any body parts together but its best to use opposing bodyparts, such as chest and back, biceps and triceps.
FCG: Commerical Time Fitness
Yet another way to squeeze in some fitness... When you are watching TV, spice things up by doing some exercises during each commercial break. This will make the commercials fly by and help you sqeeze in some exercise even when you are being a couch potato.FCG: Week 13 Exercise Challenge: The Pike Walk
Ok, so I tried to post this yesterday but the site was acting up, I hope this works! I'm on the road with my laptop so I don't have the picture for it, but I found a great new move for this week. I will do my best to remember how it went and then later will post it more officially: Pike Walk Works arms, core, legs Take 2 dumbells and use them as handles as you go into plank position.mymaria's workout log: Fri-Sun July 20-22nd

:Star: She was not only committed to her work, but she also knew that, along with work, it was a part of her job to be fit and look good. So, Marilyn devised her own workout plan.
