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

Fitness Friday: Tris and Thighs, Oh My!

More knock 2 muscles with 1 stone as we tone …

Our triceps and thighs!

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)
