❝ The smell of her hair, the taste of her mouth, the feeling of her skin seemed to have got inside him, or into the air all around him. She had become a physical necessity. ❞

  • The jumping jacks and jump ropes are pretty self explanatory.
  • The mountain climbers are performed by starting in the pushup position with your right leg tucked up by your hip. Next you lightly push off the ground with your legs and switch the position of your feet so that your left foot is now tucked up by your hip and your right leg is straight behind you. That’s one repetition.
  • The punch combination is a four punch, one knee combination. First punch is a straight left. The second punch is a straight right. The third punch is a left cross. The fourth punch is a right cross. And the fifth move is a knee raise, as if you were to hit someone in the groin. Repeat this 5 move combination 12 times for a total of 60 moves.
  • The burpie is performed by standing up right then quickly squatting down and placing your hands on the ground. You will then kick both feet out behind you and land in a pushup position. Quickly kick your feet back toward your hands and stand straight up right again. That’s one repetition.

Why You Should Jump Rope

#1. You can do it anywhere. Inside, outside, on a flat roof, in your hotel room, on the backyard deck — you can jump rope anywhere that has high enough ceilings. Even if you are on a trip, your jump rope and shoes can fit easily in your suitcase. You don’t need to sign up at a gym or join an exercise class to start jumping rope. If you’ve got a rope, you’ve got all that you need.

#2. It works the whole body. There are few better exercises that work every part of your body. Your upper body will be getting a workout from swinging the rope (and an even better one if the rope is weighted), your heart gets the benefit of reaching your target rate, your stomach muscles will need to be engaged during the jumps and you’ll be able to tone your legs as well. It also helps develop speed, quickness, agility, balance, coordination, bone density, aerobic and anaerobic conditioning while toning and trimming the buttocks, tummy and waistline.

#3. No specific training needed. Well, if you can jump in the air, you can certainly jump rope. The best part about this exercise is that you don’t need a fancy personal trainer to help to exercise. Just you and the rope will be enough for an entire exercise regimen. Of course, if you want to do a Dutch or Double Dutch, it will be as fun as you had when you were a kid.

#4. Probably the least expensive workout ever. A mere $15 or so will get you a jump rope that lasts for years. Compared to other cardio equipment, it is certainly no match. Very inexpensive, relatively easy, and extremely effective, jump roping is one of the best pieces of fitness equipment to have on hand. It takes up no room in your bag, and very useful for a quick workout.

#5. No more worrying about the weather. Say goodbye to all the times when a rain or a snowfall dampened your fitness plans. If you’re jumping rope, you can still do it inside, provided you have enough ceiling clearance and the proper flooring to avoid injury. You’ll never have to worry about the weather cutting into your workout again. Now you know all about the immensely useful, largely popular single-equipment exercise. Jumping rope is a lesson in coordination and timing, whatever your skill level may be. The key: short, quick contact with the floor, staying light on the balls of the feet. So what are you waiting for? (via Why you should Jump Rope? – Healthy Times Blog

How I get rid of my love handles

1. Oblique twists: I usually use a 10 lb weight and do 4 sets of 30

2. Dumbbell side bends:  I use either 10 or 12 lbs weights.  I don’t really count when I do these.  I just kind of do them until I feel it.

3. Side planks:  I hold these for 15 seconds and do 3 reps on each side

Elbow-To-Knee crunches

Hey guys, one of the most frequent questions I get is how to get rid of that annoying “lower pooch” or the ”lower donut” that girls commonly get.

It’s REALLY hard to get rid of but this is one of the BEST exercises to work your entire stomach and will help get rid of it!

I don’t know about you, but i don’t want a greasy donut IN MY STOMACH or ON MY STOMACH!

Yes, they’re painful… BUT WORTH IT!
