Summer Fitness Goals

Hi Dolls!

Summer is here and in full effect and we are all trying to get that summer bod now that we are shedding our winter coats.

We want everyone to know that whatever shape you are in is perfect for the summer! It's so important to love the skin you are in even when trying to improve. 

Working out doesn't always have to be at the gym! We have a few moves in a 20 minute workout for the days you just can't get to the gym.

Trust us this 20 minute workout will make you feel a lot less guilty from totally skipping the gym!

_______

1.) Jump Squats - 30 reps


For toning up those legs and booty. 

Begin the squat by bending your knees once lowered you innate the jump and, jump as high as you can!

A few of those will really give a great burn.

2.) Plank - 3 reps of 30 seconds 

Planks are killer for your abs!

Start in push up position lower your forearms to the floor with elbows positioned under your shoulders and your hands shoulder-width apart.

Start holding at 30 seconds and everyday add more time on. Try and see how long you can hold after a weeks time. You'd be surprised with yourself at how strong you're getting.

Place your hands about six inches apart, and firmly grip the edges of the chair. Slide your butt just off the front of the chair so that your upper body is pointing straight down. Keep your abdominals pulled in and your head centered between your shoulders. Bend your elbows and lower your body in a straight line.

When your upper arms are parallel to the floor, push yourself back up, being careful not to lock elbows
