Sunday Fun Day: B is for …

As applies to yours truly:

Brains + Brawn / Buff Bod / Beast + Beauty = Badace♠!

Add this comic relief to the mix:

So, B also is for Beer!

Above, this “expert” brings up valid points!

Workout while getting dolled up!

• Lunges & squats while blowdrying my hair {1 set = 1 stance}
• Curls: hold dumbbell and work bicep toward you with one hand, hold curling iron and style hair with the other! {1 set = 1 strand}
• Extensions: hold dumbbell and work tricep behind your head with one hand, hold mascara wand and extend lashes with the other!
• Abs: lay on mat/soft surface and lift legs with core and lower back while keeping arms at your side to dry your nails!

No brainer, am I right?

Makeup moves WON’T work in a car if you must hold up your phone/mirror/compact with your other hand {as a passenger ~ NOT while you’re behind the wheel}

Seriously, though, you may not want to try this at home unless you’re extremely coordinated and can master multi-tasking!

We workers and scholars all can witness our fitness at our desks ~ which I’ve had my students do during long class breaks:

• Neck rolls clockwise and counter-clockwise
• Shoulder rolls forward and backward
• Arm circles forward and backward
• Leg extensions (quads) while seated
• Leg curls (hams) while standing
• Stretches ~ to ease ergonomic tension
• Jumping Jacks ~ for ♥cardio♥ to bring the blood flow to the brain

Workout Wednesday: Aaliyah Abs

♪♫More Than a Woman♪♫

In spirit of my favorite 1990s-early 2000s R&B artist, Aaliyah, who was finally portrayed in a film that debuted on air this past weekend (no comment on my thoughts of the biopic), let’s pay tribute to the best abs in the industry!

This street but sweet superstar had fab, flat abs ~ so how did she rock them out in her midriffs?

As an Aaliyah ab-mirer and also an ab-rocker, here’s what worked for her and me …

* Dance it off ~ All those twists and turns work that core + other cardio to melt off fat and flab!

* Planks {especially rotating on alternate sides to engage the obliques} stabilize for balance!

Sideswept bangs and shades also were Aaliyah’s trademark that inspired me!
