My new “Bored?” exercise jar. I found a similar jar on Pinterest in which parents would put activities for their kids to do, and it just made sense to me: if I’m trying to get in shape and I have nothing to do/am bored, why not have a list of things to do, cut it up, and choose one from a jar?
i love this :)

![Hip Raise
Works: Glutes
The benefit: It targets the muscles of your rear end, which can help make your belly flatter. The reason: When your glutes are weak—as they are in most women—the top of your pelvis tilts forward. This not only places stress on your lower back, but it causes your tummy to stick out—even if you don’t have an ounce of fat. Your fix: the hip raise.How to do it: Lie on your back on the floor with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor [A]. Now brace your core, squeeze your glutes, and raise your hips so your body forms a straight line from your shoulders to your knees [B]. Pause for 3 to 5 seconds—squeezing your glutes tightly the entire time—then lower back to the start.

Handbag workout
No equipment? Accessorize your workout with stuff you already have! Use a handbag and put heavy things in it, like for example packages of rice (I put 4kg -8.8 lbs). Books and dictionaries will also work too, no excuses!
Here is a suggestion for a glute-targeting circuit:1- Squat trust & lift
2- Pass-through lunges
3- One-legged bridge on the right leg
4- One-legged bridge on the left leg
5- Squat press
6- Donkey kick right leg
7- Donkey kick left leg
8- Froggy glute lift
9- Back lunge push-out right leg
10- Back lunge push-out left leg15 repetitions per exercise, perform circuit 3 times. It takes about 10 minutes to complete the circuit one time.
NB: this is not a real Louis Vuitton bag, it’s a fake… If I had a real expensive designer bag, you bet I’d not use it as workout equipment! ^_^
Exercise descriptions can be found on my wordpress-blog: www.fitnesstreats.com/2012/05/handbag-workoutMy purse will totally work. When I put it in the passenger seat of my car, the seatbelt light comes on.
genius. i am in love.

I call these, “Pistol Squats”
Find your balance on one leg and slowly squat down. This move is actually pretty tough. I can only do 5 reps at a time. If you can’t do this, just stick to regular squats with both feet on the ground.This move will strengthen your balance, core, quads, glutes, and hamstrings.
My right leg is definitely weaker haha.
This just makes me wanna do it and get better!!!! :)
Do this sometimes when it’s goalie training! We do them on benches to get even better balance and get lower, and I freaking love/HATE them!
I just tried these, & def failed. I want to work up to it though!!
these are killers!

Plank is a great exercise for working the abdominals, the arms, and the shoulders. It’s similar to a push-up position, but the goal is to keep your abs in and your entire body in a straight line. Having a mirror nearby can help you check to make sure you’re not sagging your stomach or sticking your butt up. Also, make sure you don’t allow yourself to sink into your arms; lift your weight up and our of your shoulders and arms. To make it easier, keep your head in line with your spine and reach out through the heels and the head.
Starts tomorrow! You in?
CHALLENGE ACCEPTED.

10 seconds, no problem! I LOVE THESE!!

Some short workouts to target strength-training in certain areas. (Remember that you can’t spot-reduce or only lose fat from a certain area!) Most of these are bodyweight exercises, but some will require a dumbbell or a jug of water/milk.
I should start making a workout schedule. These moves are definitely going to be in there! ^.^
