Regardless of reports on her separation from Gavin Rosdale of Bush, this 🎼rockstar’s still got it ~ from raising 2 boys, still singing🎶 amazing solo or otherwise & looking dayum good + influencing fashion👛 (i.e., her iconic 👑bindi) including super shoes👢 like stilettos👠
How does she stay so 👙svelte? Where does she seek her sweet escape for a hot physique?
📺Take a look👓 for yourself: she does mad push-ups! 🚻*
Push-ups are the ultimate toning move because they work your upper bod & core stability for strength & balance!
Gwen Stefani can work her body
Check out Gwen‘s form …
… All the way down, nose to the ground!
I dare you to do these pushUPs to ♫Settle DOWN♪ ~ the 1st No Doubt single after she flew solo for awhile
🙅🏻Rough ‘N’ Tough👊🏽 Recommended Routine: 100 GSAs (Gwen Stefani Abs & Arms) = 100 Push-Ups {20 reps each of the following}
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!
Jumping Jacks ~ for ♥cardio♥ to bring the blood flow to the brain

S is for … ☼Sunday☼ Sippy Selfie Somewhat Throwback: South Padre Island for my homecoming en el Valle! ¡Salud!
So, I suggest the second series during study sessions and when you tune into your TV!

S is for … Sippy Selfie ☼Summertime☼ Sappiness Somewhat Throwback Thursday: Mango Paleta at Zoo on Field Trip with my ☼Summer☼ Speech *Superstar* Students!
For me, my peak-of-☼summer☼ primetime shows (new episodes all air at 8PM Central time) ~ during which I can do these sets of moves ~ include
No, I’m NOT talking about arming ourselves with ammo ~ despite the recent open carry law in my state (that caused controversy and healthy debate among my ☼summer☼ speech students)
I don’t shoot at moving targets ~ simply for sport!
Enjoy these moves that target both at the same time:
Seesaw (20 reps each side)
On your side, bend the bottom leg and extend the top leg while placing the palms of your hands on the mat/floor with your arms facing each other 45*
Then press your arms to engage your tris while you raise your top leg to engage your thighs; switch sides per set
Clam Dips (20 reps)
While seated, ring the soles of your feet together in butterfly/clamshell position and the palms of your hands on the mat/floor with your arms straight back
Then bend (dip) your elbows to lower your back to contract your tris while you bring (press) your thighs together
Butterfly (20 sec)
Keep your soles together and stretch out your thighs by lowering them to the ground
Stretch your tris by alternating your arms behind your head, holding the palm of the outstretched arm
Flashback Friday: The mild weather of early ☼spring☼ (now) and pre-♣fall♣ (then) plus being in *beast beauty mode* takes me back to my 10-year h.s. reunion when I worked those *tris* and *thighs* (with my military brat bestie Nora to my left)
My brother in †CHRIST†, Joe, says that he got a great workout from it growing up.
We who aren’t lumberjacks, like Paul Bunyan or my bro-in-law, still can reap the benefits of slicing and dicing …
mañana!
At least with going with the motions!
With legs slightly bent, bring your hands together, sweep upward then diagonally down while turning your core.
Therefore, you’re working out your arms and more: lunging with your legs, as well as trimming your waistline!
Interesting timing that my hometown just had an incident involving ax violence. I wrote this before hearing that news and by no means condone aerobic activity for crime. Best wishes for the victim and hopes for the suspect’s repent.
Get set to do push-ups: get on plank position with both palms and sets of toes on the ground ~ narrow arm width to work your triceps or wide for your chest, lower yourself then raise yourself back up.
If my cats are chillaxing on the carpet, then my baseline to meet would be from their spots, and I give them a kiss each time I reach them!
Take a break from studying (like yours truly ~ after working both jobs today and before teaching Religious Ed at Church today) then go low to the ground!
When I had my speech students brainstorm topic ideas today, one suggested speaking on different push-up techniques. Therefore,
Actually, more like upper bod ~ arms, shoulders, chest and back ~ plus core ~ abs and lower back ~ to be exact! So, make that haste and blast your bod from shoulders to waist!
Upper Bod
Resistance: pair light dumbbells or water bottles (1 in each hand) for minimal weight during series of reps in these 10 sets
100 Oblique Twists ~ standing while holding resistance 100 Bridge Presses ~ laying while raising hips with resistance on tummy
{No weights for remaining series}
100 V-ups ~ hands & legs extended to start then bring together 100 Bicycle Crunches ~ alternate elbows & knees together 100 Side Planks Rainbows ~ full version on hands and feet OR modified on elbows and knees while dropping and lifting hips to the side (alternate 2×25 each)
From my Double A to yours, let’s make it a great Workout Wednesday!!!
I can’t work out because I can’t take time away from my Baby👶.
Rather than saying, “I can’t,” say, “I can,” and do take your Baby!
Here are 3 sure-fire🔥 ways that both you and Baby can exercise together!
* Push the stroller while jogging! {like my friend, Amy the Birthday Girl, did with her son, Nathan the Birthday Boy}
• The stroller with your Baby provides resistance, in particular for your arms! 💪
• The jogging provides cardio, while you tone up your legs!
* Do sit-ups while showing your Toddler flash cards! {like on my novela📺 Be Careful with My Heart💖}
• The sit-ups work your abs!
• You’re teaching your Toddler new words at the same time!
Baby GirlMeadow
* Do lunges with your Baby on your knee! {like mi Cuñada Janet with her Baby Girl Meadow (5mos) ~ mi Cuñado Ray suggested that I do them with their daughter Toddler Sylvia (18mos) for the more advanced version}
• Lifting your child helps your upper body and core as you switch legs ~ therefore, this turns into a total body training session!
