Thanks Lulu Running!
After an exhausting weekend of field hockey, some of us learned that maybe our stretching techniques were not as good as we all expected. Check out these yoga inspired running stretches to help release lactic acid and stretch out those running muscles.

Being athletes, we tend to strive better with competition and little goals that lead to big results. I introduce Week 1 of the Ab Challenge. As any good exercise regime, it starts small, easy even, and builds up.
Week One May 7 - May 13 2012 Monday May 7 : 5 sit-ups (feet on ground, full sit-up), 5 V-sits (isolations), 5 scissor kicks, 5 bicycle kicks, 1 min plank Tuesday May 8 : 6 crunches, 6 left knee touches, 6 right knee touches, 6 half bent knee crunches, 6 crunches w/ a bum lift, 6 crunches with flat legs Wednesday May 9 : 10 sit-ups (feet on ground, full sit-up), 10 V-sits (isolations), 10 scissor kicks, 10 bicycle kicks, 1.5 min plank Thursday May 10 : 8 crunches, 8 left knee touches, 8 right knee touches, 8 half bent knee crunches, 8 crunches w/ a bum lift, 8 crunches with flat legs Friday May 11 : 15 sit-ups (feet on ground, full sit-up), 15 V-sits (isolations), 15 scissor kicks, 15 bicycle kicks, 1.5 min plank Saturday May 12 : 10 crunches, 10 left knee touches, 10 right knee touches, 10 half bent knee crunches, 10 crunches w/ a bum lift, 10 crunches with flat legs Sunday May 13 : 12 sit-ups (feet on ground, full sit-up), 12 V-sits (isolations), 12 scissor kicks, 12 bicycle kicks, 1 min plank In lieu of the 12 Days of Christmas, the dedicated ladies of the Pink Panthers participate in what is trending as a favorite workout known as the 12 Days of Fitness. The idea follows the Christmas carol. Here was our routine we did on Saturday Morning.
1 - water break 2 - stairs (1 down + 1 up = 2 stairs) 3 - mountain climbers 4 - squat jumps 5 - sitting roll backs 6 - burpees (everyone's favorite) 7 - lunge touches 8 - jumping jacks 9 - plank lifts 10 - high knees 11 - lunge pulses 12 - scissor kicks This particular version focused on legs and abs/core, but we have done a variety of different exercises. The ladies battled through and we were done in 30 minutes, an intense and wonderful workout. |
