fab flat abs for beginners - blogilates
insanity 20 min workout

berryhealthy:

staggering push ups : by staggering them with a ball or a stack of books,
you are throwing your center of balance off, and forcing your core to do more work!

tricep dips : perform these against a solid and stable surface, and kick a single
leg out on the bottom portion of the move to again increase the amount of work the core
has to do. keep your shoulders back and down to really get the triceps going.

kitty kat pike : get yourself into a plank position with your feet up on the bed, and your hands directly below your shoulders. just like a plank works the core muscles the best, a pike will add a spike to that by having you squeeze your abs together forcing your bum into the air. the slower your perform this move, the better.
tummy tucks : this is best performed against a desk or a solid chair - remember to keep your elbows in, and to kick one leg up at a time, bringing it as close to your elbow as possible! slow and steady wins.

Hello and goodmorning! I thought I’d share with you my work out routine since I’ve been getting asked about it quite a bit. I’m no guru, but this is just what works for me! So, to those of you who asked:

Perfect way to jump into yoga instead of paying for classes! You could also do this as a bedroom work out!

MOVE: Jiggly Thigh-Busting Ballerina Leg Lift
WHAT IT DOES: You think this exercise is all thighs, thighs, thighs (that’s where you feel the burn), but it helps whittle your waist, too!It tightens and tones the muscles while elongating the limbs. If your body isn’t burning by the time you’re through, you’re not giving it your all. “Remember, if your muscles are not burning, they’re not working,” says Bowers. “You can always stop and take a five minute stretch, but otherwise, keep going. I find it’s easier to keep it up if you don’t stop!” 
 
HOW TO DO IT (watch the moving image above to see Mary Helen Bowers demonstrating the move)
On your right side, bend your knees and bring your legs in to a 45 degree angle from your torso. Find a comfortable position for your upper body. You’ll complete the sequence on your right side, and then your left side. 
Lift your left leg and straighten it, pointing your foot as you straighten it and stretching through the knee. Bend knee back above the right leg, keeping it raised. At the same time, position your left arm so it’s parallel to your extended leg. As you bend your knee, raise your arm up over your head. Keep your hips parallel, your shoulders down and your stomach pulled in tight. Do eight counts, four sets.
Hold your leg out straight for one last count of eight.
