FITMOM Durham's Motivated Monday

Hey Mommy Mavens,

Welcome to the start of another great week and Motivated Monday Post.

This week I am challenging you to focus on your core, paying special attention to those obliques!

Here are some simple, yet effective core exercises that you can do in under 15 min.  There is not always time in your day to fit in a full body workout, but spending a few minutes every day with some effective core exercises will go a long way towards helping you build strength, reduce lower back ache and feel fit.  A great time to do these exercises is while your baby is doing some 'tummy time' on the floor. 

§  Plank x 30 seconds (knees for beginners)

§  Side Plank R 30 seconds (knees for beginners)

§  R Lying side crunch x 16 (10)

§  R Lying side triceps press up x 16 (10)

§  R Lying side lower leg lift x 16 (10)

§  Side Plank R 30 seconds (knees for beginners)

§  REPEAT on L Side

For those of you who have been exercising regularly you can try to get this workout in 3 times over the course of your week.  If you are brand new to fitness, then aim to complete this mini workout once this week.
