Muffin Top

I am so excited it is Monday. I love me the some Sundays, because it is a time of resting and I know my body needed it. Do you know that the best workout is cleaning and working in the garden? We just helped a friend move and man it made me want to deep clean my home. Then I got home and realized I will never get the clean I want until we move, because as soon as I clean, my little Tornado of a son will come right through and mess it all up again. I cannot wait for a nursery room to keep all of his toys.... only one more semester!!!

Anyways, I had to give away my favorite pair of skinny jeans, you know the ones you put on and think "I look good!" I keep hoping I can fit into them again, but since my son was born, I have become a solid size 4, no more maybe size 2... sad sad day! So it got me to thinking, how are my muffin tops looking? Quite muffiny? So, here is today's workout. It comes from http:From Flap to Tone Up

Again, I mixed it up a little bit:

Butterfly

Start                                                                     Finish
Steps: Hold in start position for 10 seconds.
          Lift up into finish position, hold your bum nice and tight for 10 seconds
          Go back to start position.
Repeat 10-15 times.

Genie

Steps: Lunge right leg out to right, toes pointing right, left leg straight. Press palms together overhead with 
                elbows bent about 90 degrees out to sides (like a genie).
          Reach with extended arms and torso toward right. Hold for 3 count, then pull torso back and 
                bend elbows to return to side-bend start position.
Do ten  reps, change sides, do ten reps and repeat once more on each side.

Kneeling Leg Circle

Steps: get in the same position as the picture and circle legs ten times one way then switch ways.
          After, switch sides
 Repeat 2 times on each leg

Alternate V-Sit Roll

Start                                                                                             Finish

Steps: Beginning in starting position 
          Slowly roll down spine onto your left side, extending legs and reaching arms overhead, palms in.  
                    (finish  position)
             Reverse the movement back to start position
Do 10 reps, rest for 10 seconds, and repeat 2 times. 

Bend and Stretch

  
Steps: Start in downward dog position, hold for 10 seconds
           Shift hips back slightly and bend knees toward chest as you round back into a tuck, pulling belly
                   button toward spine. Hold for 10 seconds

Repeat 10 times, rest or 10 seconds and repeat.

Repeat sequence 
 
So, was it good for you?
