Lifestyle Core Fitness

It's not enough to do abs crunches or sit ups.

You need to exercise a variety of muscles from legs to arms to hips to shoulder.

I am not your best teacher for this. But core fitness has been beneficial to my everyday

work activity.

Core Strength Fitness is fitness from within.

What we have here are core resistance tubes in color coded strength:

Red for Light

Gray for Meduim

Blue for Heavy

We will use the light strength for now and move on to medium once we are toner and stronger in the coming weeks.

May you be a working professional, or a freelance do-everything yourself girl like me or a supermom to your super kids and full time wifey and in-charge of the house.

Take some quick time to some quick strength exercise daily.

Some benefits of good core strength:

1.) a strong core reduces back pain

(i am a full time makeup artist and designer - stylist, this is one major ouchie we normally feel esp if we run here and there on our heels or big styling luggages or makeup trolley.)

2.) A strong core improves athletic performance

3.) a strong core improves postural imbalance

4.) a strong core develops functional fitness and protect you from injuries

Here are a few things you may need for your daily activity.

A weighing scale for record. 
I used to be 122lbs, now Im down to 115 lbs unless this machine is broken. lol! ;p

your trusty rubber shoes, or you can go barefoot, but if you are going running like what I do you need your trusty rubber shoes.

a good support socks, your comfy gym pants, some core fitness resistance tubes, your mat and belt.

  So lets go, lets help each other and do this activity together.

All fab wifey and mommies out there. Ladies are tough woman that no one can topple them down. ;-)

1.) Chest Press -up

Lie on a floor mat with your knees up.

Place the resistance tubes around your back.

hold the handles on each side of your chest then press upward.

Keep your elbows slightly bent while doing the upward press, then lower them down slowly until your upper arms are parallel to the floor. 

Exhale as you press up and inhale as you lower your arms down.

Repeat 10 - 12 times, as much as possible, without stopping.

2. Biceps Curl

In a comfortable stance with the resistance band anchored under your feet, hold one end of the resistance tube in each hand. Slowly bend your elbows, curling your hands up toward your shoulders. The palms of your hands should be facing your shoulders.

Repeat 10 - 12 times, as much as possible without stopping.

Using your left arm, pull one end of the resistance tube while the other end is being stepped on by your left foot. Make sure to parallel the resistance tube with your leg during exercise. Keep your back straight. Repeat 10 - 12 times. Repeat the whole process on your right side.

With band anchored under your feet, slowly lift both arms directly out to the side until your arms are parallel with the floor while exhaling. Keeping your elbows slightly bent as you lower your arms back down.

Repeat 10 - 12 times, if possible without stopping.

Lie on the floor mat. tuck the tube under your left foot. hold the handles of the tube and slowly stretch both arms directly out to the side until your arms are parallel with the floor while exhaling. Lift your left foot up at the same time. Repeat 10 - 12 times as much as possible without stopping, then repeat the whole process on the right foot.

Back and lat pull

Sit on the floor mat with your legs straight apart. Tuck the tubes under your feet while your hands hold one end one each end. Exhale as you pull up and inhale as you lower your arms. Repeat 10 - 12 time, as much as possible , without stopping.

Cool down with some hula love

for the belly and back.

You can do this routine when watching TV, early morning before getting your shower before going to work or meeting to give you all the hyped energy you need.

I may not have the perfect ideal body a 30 year woman is but I sure do have all the pump up energy that I needed everyday with my crazy call sheets and schedule.

 Plus all the eating daily that I get, its good to know I have something to balance it out and not do the starving diet option.

How about you, what is your fitness routine that you can share with me/ us?
I will share with you other activities I do in the coming entries.
