Workout Wednesday: GSA is for …

Gwen Stefani🎤 Abs & her Gun🔫 Show Arms💪🏽

This No Doubt singer rocked out her voice🎵 & her bod🏄 (i.e., classic crop tops in the mid-90s to expose midriffs) 2 decades ago with her breakthrough 📀single, I’m Just a Girl🚺* ~ which is featured on

• My fave freshman 🎬movie, Clueless (1 of the 1st scenes ~ during Cher’s 🚗driving)
• Period 🎧Playlist📻 (popularized from 🎥No Strings Attached)

Gwen Stefani the *HOTTIE*

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

♫Gwen Stefani‘s 4am♪ ~ I’ve been staying up ’til 4am🕓 working on my dissertation lately & want to cut my hair like hers after I graduate & donate!

11:11 ~ make a Bday/BTS wish!!! ✌

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

The best way to go is to mix up your workouts and keep it interesting (to prevent plateau), for instance
