BodyWeight exercises

My schedule is pretty crammed sometimes and getting that extra little pump really helps get through the day and keep your energy and activity levels up.  I keep a pair of free-weights handy whenever possible to get some reps in when my daughter is in the shower etc.  Bodyweight exercises can also be a great way to tone up your abs and you can do them anywhere, anytime.

Bodyweight exercises are also a great way to tone your core and i really need to build up my core.


 My favorites:

1. V-ups - From laying position, touch toes, balancing on buttocks
2. Russian Twists - Trunk twists while sitting on floor with feet out in front
3. Flutter Kicks - Raise your feet off floor while lying on your back
4. Bicycle Kicks - Cross-over situps alternating elbows to opposite knee
5. Plank - 30 seconds on your elbows
6. Side Plank - On one elbow
