Workout Tag

I've noticed that most of us don't have much to blog about lately and that a lot of us are expressing our dissatisfaction with our healthiness and exercise routines, so I am starting a tag to get us all blogging again and to help each other out with new ideas on exercising. So....tag, you're it!

1.) How many days a week do you workout? I do cardio 3-4 times a week and right now I've been doing toning 5-6 times a week trying to get ready for shorts and swimming suits.

2.) Favorite Cardio Workout(s) - Eliptical because it doesn't hurt my knees and because it works my upper body too.

3.) Favorite Ab Workout(s) - I'm not sure what it's called, but I balance on my "bottom" with my legs bent and out in front of me and my arms in front of them, then I push my legs out and straighten my arms, repeating as many times as I can. (I saw this while subbing in a weight lifting class, it really works!)

4.) Favorite Arm Workout(s) - I like to do dips (you get a chair and get in front of it and squat like you're going to sit in it but you don't because you're in front of it, put your arms on the chair and lower yourself and raise yourself back up) because they work the backs of my arms where the flabbiness is.

5.) Favorite Leg Workout(s) - I do lunges and toe raises. The lunges work my upper legs and the toe raises work my calves.

6.) Favorite Glut (butt) Workout(s) - The lunges are also good for your butt, but I also will just stand there and flex for as long as I can, I know that sounds funny, but I heard somewhere that to contract and hold a muscles for a long time is better than flexing and releasing it over and over again.

7.) Favorite Outdoor Workout - I like running by myself, but I like riding bikes with my husband and kids. I also walk a lot during the summer with my friend that lives next door.

8.) Anything else that I may not have thought of that you think may be useful for the rest of us!
