Playground Time!! . . . Sliding Your Way to a Trimmer Tummy


It's time to slide to a slimmer & tighter tummy! Here's playground exercise #3 from the First for Women Article -

Tip 3 - Slide into a Flatter Belly – the next time you sit down at the top of a slide, place your legs together while bending them slightly. Before takeoff, lift your feet off of the slide about 5 inches while engaging your core, keeping your weight firmly on your “sit bones” in your... tush. Place your hands gently on the sides of the slide or if feeling daring, straight out in front of you for balance. This sneaky slide move will target your entire core & lead you to tight, flat belly!

And Turbo charge the exercise with some interval training....simply do 30 second bursts of running up the slide stairs, then slide down and repeat as fast as possible for 30-60 secs, then rest for 30-60 secs and repeat for 15 minutes. Awesome way to get some creative interval training in! Mark MacDonald

28 Day Jump Start to Your Permanent Weight Loss by Mark MacDonald


Get Those Sexy Arms on the Monkey Bars!!! Its Playground Time!!

Here's the second playground exercise from the First for Women article I wrote... Time to get your arms tight & toned!

Tip 2 - Firming Your Upper Arms on the Monkey Bars – lifting your kids to reach those monkey bars engages your whole body (core, legs, back, chest, and arms) – make sure to engage your core, too (drawing your navel into your spine) to prevent injuries. To target and tone your back, grab the monkey bar with a neutral grip (palms facing each other), engage your core and then slowly lift your whole body up as far as you can go while squeezing your shoulder blades together. Slowly lower back down. For a beach-ready tummy, repeat the neutral grip and let your body hang from the monkey bar with knees bent and legs together. Slowly raise your knees to your chest without swinging your body, hold and then slowly lower knees back down. Work your way up to 10 repetitions for both exercises.

Tomorrow I'll share how to Slide to a flatter belly....Lets keep making our health happen! Mark MacDonald


Your Good Health is Your Best Investment.

A Health News Flash: Mark played tennis last week with a long time New York Life/Investment Agent. He tells Mark, "From everything I've been studying and seeing from every angle over the years, the BEST investment is in your good health. You need your good health to work longer if necessary. And investing in your good health can help avoid the one sickness that drains the money invested." The solution is simple and don't mistakeningly think you have "all of the time in the world". You don't. 1.) start drinking MonaVie Juices to protect those red blood cells. Easy. 2.) if you are over weight, lose it permanently by using MonaVie RVL products and eating to stabilize blood sugar. 3.) if you are at a proper weight, eat for keeping your blood sugar stable and include MonaVie RVL products for that. 4.) Daily Fitness. Get with a Trainer or with a friend who already works out. 5.) Control Stress. Use MonaVie Vigor for support. 5.) Get enough sleep and restoration. 7.) Your budget should include money for management of your good health BEFORE entertainment.

Swing Your Way to Trimmer Thighs . . . and Hang w The Kids.

 
Swinging Your Way to Trimmer Thighs – most of your muscle is located in your lower body, so, targeting hamstrings and quadriceps during swinging is a fun way to sculpt lean, sexy legs and boost your entire body’s calorie burn. Try squeezing your quads while you swing forward (concentrating the burn at the very top) and then squeezing your hamstrings on the way back to really target those muscles. To accelerate your calorie burn and strengthen your core, pull your navel into your spine and hold gently.
