☼Sun☼ Out, Buns Out!
In this case, I don’t mean the buns-in-the-oven that I mentioned recently, unless you have one (or more on the way) ~ at which case I suggest that you consult with your physician about the upcoming physical activity!
Once upon a time (a decade ago), someone told me that I have a bubble butt ~ he meant that as a compliment: that my behind looked lifted and firm!
Flashback Friday: My BFF & I rock out the same EXP ReRock Jeans! #2greatMindsThinkAlike
So, our ☼sunny☼, sweaty series goes down to the derierre to round out all of the ☼summer☼ routines!
As Ice Cube raps:
♫Put your back (or another word) into it!♪
~ from the Save the Last Dance soundtrack
Bottom Moves to Get YOU into Tip-Top Shape
- Squats (legs): try variations of stances (wide/plié, hip/shoulder width, narrow) and my 1K challenge!
- Deadlifts (legs & back): while standing with your legs hip/shoulder width apart and holding your choice of resistance down in front of you close to your body, lower the weight toward your ankles then raise it up to your hips ~ lift with your knees, NOT with your back, and DON’T lock your knees!
- Clean Press (my personal favorite for legs & shoulders): start at deadlift position, then squat while lifting the weight over your head!
- Standing Extensions (quadriceps) & Curls (hamstrings): while standing with your legs together, lift one leg directly in front of you (quads/front of your thigh) then bring it behind you (hams/back of your thigh) ~ 3×20 each leg
- Vic(tory) Kicks: kick your legs up to the sky!

Have you ever chopped wood before?
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.

Merry †CHRISTmas† Eve!!! Trim the Tree!! & your Body!
S is for … Shopping * Supermarket * Slimming * Santa’s Helper * Starbucks * Skinny Latte * Sippie / Sippy * Selfie
To me, shopping can be a necessary evil …
Unless I can turn it into a positive experience!
Imagine pushing this giant cart around! I saw this after my venture to Farmers Market. Then I got creative with the pumpkins that I picked from both…
As †CHRISTmas/HOLYday† shopping draws to a close, here are ways we can benefit ~ by burning both our wallets and calories at the same time:
- Cart Press ~ Low Impact (Chest and ♥Cardio♥): Push your cart to work your chest and briskly walk around for ♥cardio♥ on the store floor
- Curl with Both Arms (Biceps): Lift heavy object (i.e., box of soda cans below*) up for a few repetitions at a time; I recommend 10-12
- Single-Arm Curl (Biceps): Lift light object (i.e., bottle below*) up for a several repetitions per arm; I recommend 15-20
- Cart Lunges (Thighs): While standing at an aisle and leaning onto the cart handle, step back and drop your knee, one leg at a time
- Cart Calf Raises (Calves): While waiting at the checkout line and holding onto the cart handle, step on your tippie toes then rock to your ankles for your calves
- Cart Press ~ High Impact (Chest and ♥Cardio♥): After you unload your groceries, push your cart to work your chest again and run to park it for more ♥cardio♥!

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 Girl Meadow
* 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!
Big Sis Sylvia
Baby Beast Mode Time! 👊
Oh yeah, and if you’re pregnant, please check out my recommendations to stay Pretty Fit!
