Messy Curls //
I was in a mega hurry this morning to work and my hair was being so crazy so I quickly put some curl in it (these photos are 13 hours later after I got home from work) and secured it back with a couple bobby pins. I got lots of compliments on it today so I thought I would share it with all of you!
I hope you're having an amazing week!
Football Season is Here //
We've got our Broncos Jerseys on! We've got our Broncos Jerseys on! I've been singing that in my head since I got home to put it on. =]
Since it is the first game of the season AND the Broncos are kicking it off we decided to have a cheat day and get our favorite pizza - Barros! and Troy of course got his buffalo wings.
I'm on a mission to make a cute football wreath of some sort. I'll keep you posted on how it turns out!
Presley parked it on the couch with us too! =]
What's your team? =]
Sore To The Core // Abdominal Work Out
Abs! Abs! Abs! It takes dedication to have a great set of abs! Keep up the hard work and don't let your muscles get comfy with the same ol' workout.
Frog
Sit Ups – 30 seconds
15 seconds of rest
Toe-Touch Sit Ups – 30 Seconds
15 seconds of rest
Side Crunches – 30 seconds each side
15 seconds of rest
Reverse Crunch – 3 sets of 15 reps
Your
core is compiled of 4 different parts; Rectus Abdominus, Oblique, Intercostals,
and Serratus. It’s imperative to work each of these muscles in order to achieve
a solid core. The following exercises will target each of these areas so you
can start seeing some washboard abs!
Rectus Abdominus:
§ Location: Covers
the area from sternum all the way down to the pelvis bone.
Oblique:
§ Location: Side
of the waist.
Intercostals:
§ Location: Between
the side of the rib cage. It comes into play when you flex the torso and twist
from side to side.
Serratus:
§ Location: Between
front abs and lats.
*Keep
in mind that your diet and cardio will need to be in check in order for you to
see abs.
Your
core muscles repair quicker that the rest of your muscles allowing you to work
them daily without muscle deterioration.
Hard Core Workout // No Pun Intended
I know we're headed into fall and winter - however that's no reason to start slacking on the washboard abs. Just because you won't be religiously spending your weekends at the pool or on the lake anymore doesn't mean that you get to start ignoring these muscles! Get busy!
Cable Crunch – 30 seconds
15 seconds of rest
Side Bends – 30 seconds
15 seconds of rest
Crunches – 3 sets of 15
Reverse Crunch Curl – 3 sets of 15
