I've Fallen, and I can't get up!!

I've Fallen, and I can't get up!!


Fitness needs to be interesting, or else most people won't stick with it.  Here at Optimizing You, we make it interesting, and we keep you moving around, while getting an effective workout.  So you never have to scream out "I've Fallen, and I can't get up!!" we've got all these exercises that will get you working your legs, arms, and core, to make sure that you can always lift yourself off the ground!



Exercise #1

- Elevating one leg with the other at a 45 degree angle, lying flat on the ground you'll want to post on the side  of the leg you have raised, and with the opposite arm, reach up and grab that leg. Now that you've done that side, let's switch legs!

Exercise #2
        Full body extension (With leg spread)
- Extend your body all the way out, hands past your head, feet of the ground.  Bring your arms all the way through the length of your body, and spread your legs apart in a V.  Use a weight to make it more challengin, or feel free to just reach your hands through your legs if you don't have a weight. Remember to SQUEEZE at the end so that you get the most work in those abs!

Exercise #3
       Pushup with double roll
-This one is simple, straight forward, and is going to work your chest, and core!  Do a pushup, drop down, roll over twice keeping your arms close to your body, and then do another pushup. Double roll back, and that's one rep!

Exercise #4
      Side reaches
-Flat on your back, leg 45 degree angle, extend your arms and reach from side to side extending your body as far as you can.  Once to both side is going to be one rep. Don't cheat yourself! This shouldn't be easy. SQUEEZE!



As always, with these exercises you have two options. Set an interval timer (Here is one you can use online) for 50 seconds on with 10 seconds rest. IN this case you will have 5 exercises, 3 rounds. So this should take only 15 minutes!

If you need to go at your own pace, then do ten reps of each. This part is for beginners, and you should work your way up to the interval training, because INTENSITY = FAT BURNING! and Interval training, is INTENSE!
