Summer Break is Almost Here

I have a friend who I can’t stand right now cause she lost a lot of weight. I know I shouldn’t since she worked her ass off all winter trying to do it just in time for the bathing suit season this summer. I am proud of her too because it wasn’t through any crazy diet fad or a “miracle” pill promising to shed unwanted pounds. It was all hard work.

So like her I’m going to try and do the same thing. In between teaching classes, taking classes and applying for a consolidation loan, I’m going to start working out more. 

Here is a list of the some of the top exercises recommended by Shape Magazine to get in shape this spring before the warm summer months ahead:

Kneeling Rotating Twist – Strengthens the abs, particularly obloquies, and back; stretches middle back and rear shoulders

Squat to Overhead Reach – Strengthens the quadriceps, hamstrings and butt; stretches front torso, front shoulders and hip flexors

Side Lift – Strengthens the obloquies and lateral hip flexors; stretches sides of torso

Overhead Leg Toss – Strengthens the hamstrings, butt and quadriceps; stretches hamstrings

Squat Dive – Strengthens the quadriceps, butt, hamstrings, chest, shoulders, triceps, abs and back; stretches inner thighs and lower back

Leg Circles – Strengthens the quadriceps, hamstrings, butt, inner thighs, upper hips and abs

I think I’m up to it! This blog and hopefully summer marks the beginning of a new me. I’m going to stop hiding behind oversized T-shirts and butt-camouflaging sarongs. This summer I’m buying that two-piece. Oh yes, it’s the summer of bikini confidence.
