Yay! I did my workout! I was able to hold my planks for a minute each and was able to do 30 of my leg lifts. Anakin missed it all. "Sorry, Daddy. I was sleeping!" #workout #Anakin #planks #leglifts https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpvg52PuU1W/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
#coreworkout #situps #plank #leglifts #crunches #russiantwists I normally don’t share my core workout because of the low volume but you need a strong core to do the big lifts! https://www.instagram.com/p/CkIzGuGga71/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
It's time for YOU to get on that LIGMA GRINDSET!!1!
WAKE UP at a reasonable time so you are WELL RESTED but still have time in the day to BE PRODUCTIVE and do the things you want to do!
EAT a good breakfast, preferably NUTRITOUS but don't feel bad if you only have time for some thing quick! Eat what will make you FEEL GOOD and SATIATED until you can eat again!!!
If you take a shower in the morning, DO IT!!!1! Make the water a TEMPERATURE that is comfortable to you! DON'T FORGET to put some antiperspirant or deodorant on after so you can FEEL FRESH ALL DAY!!
WEAR CLOTHES that make you feel COMFORTABLE/GOOD, but are still APROPRIATE for the weather and what you plan on doing!!
If YOU GO TO WORK, school or another place during the day, pack your bag with anything you think you'll need! Bring a lunch and some snacks! Bring a water bottle!! Do you or your friends have a uterus? Pack some pads just in case! Going sports? Take a small first aid kit or at least some bandaids! Grab your phone charger!!! Maybe take a jacket or some other extra layer! GET a fold up umbrella!
Before you start your day, MAKE A LIST!! Write down any important tasks YOU WANT TO GET DONE! YOU CAN'T DO THEM IF YOU FORGET! Set your GOAL AND EXPECTATIONS for the day, but try and keep them reasonable and relevant! Keep S.M.A.R.T. goals!!
IF you have SOMEWHERE TO BE leave early enough so you can BE ON TIME!! A TRUE LIGMA respects peoples time and isn't LATE!!
If you are BUSY, continue to update YOUR LIST as you COMPLETE YOUR GOALS and SET NEW ONES!!
MAKE AN EFFORT to EXERCISE a little bit EACH DAY! If YOU WANT TO BE A LIGMA try to improve yourself a bit each day. Breaks are good to take but on a typical day you should be working to make your life better, even if that just means walking to the store store instead of driving, or adding some extra vegetables to your meal to give it a bit more nutritional value. With starting a regular exercise routine , it is to set small goals that you can do now and a larger end goal, slowly increasing what you do each day until you meet your end goal (ex. "I stronger abs, I want to do a 5 minute plank" -> "I will do five situps and five leglifts today, and a 15 second plank, but tomorrow I will do 6 of each and hold a plank for 16 seconds"). A LIGMA cares about their HEALTH and IMPROVING their quality of life.
When IT IS TIME for bed, try to set your alarms/do anything you need on devices first, so that you can put it down and not look at it until tomorrow. BRUSH YOUR TEETH and (if you are not in a rush to sleep) FLOSS!! IF you don't take showers in the morning you should before you go to bed!! PUT ON some CLEAN pjs! It is also you to READ often, and before you go to sleep is a good time to do that! Try to GO TO BED at a reasonable time so when you WAKE UP you have gotten A GOOD AMOUNT OF SLEEP!!1!!
I do 10 slow extension side kicks on each side, holding for 5sec each, and 40 each of something that probably has a technical name but I just call it the "floppy fish exercise" where you extend a kick and then hold it out while hopping your leg slightly higher and back down over and over.
When starting out I would recommend 10 slow extension but for 3sec, and 20 floppy fish. Start low and increase the height of the kick as you increase the numbers. Also, make sure you do split stretches at some point in the day before doing these. You won't be pushing the limits of your flexibility but it keeps you from pulling a muscle.
🤔What is she doing now??🤷♀️ ▫️ 👀 Got any hip flexors mate?! I do not after this little finisher!!🤣 ▫️ 🤸♀️ Im no gymnast and this is VERY gymnastic-y, but with great cross-over benefits for anything requiring lower abdominal strength and hip-snap. So leg lifts, hollow body, toes-to-bar, Olympic lifting handstand control, skin the cat, back lever....etc.. If you're looking for those action man hips (definition in your lower abs/obliques, or inguinal crease if we're being fancy🤷♀️) this will switch all the right things on! 🙌💪 ▫️ 💪 The further away the hands are from the body, the harder the movement.....I know, I'm working on it!! The hardest part for me is concentrating on only using the correct muscles (mind/muscle connection) and not recruiting my back or upper abdomen to do the work (or my traps!!🙄🤣) causing a pike motion each rep, drawing my head down and using my bodyweight.🤦♀️ ▫️ Give it a go and tag me in your videos👀 🙏Thanks @rhymen for the inspiration 🙌 ▫️ #gymnasticsdrills #calisthenics #stalderleglifts #legseleven #leglifts #stalder #straddle #hipflexors #hipflexorstrength #mindsetforfunctionalathletes #mindsetrxd #mindsetforfunctionalathletes #girlswithabs #gainstrain #stayathome #covid19 #lockdown #lockdowntraining #Lsit #yogablocks #iamnotagymnast (at Lytham St Annes, Lancashire) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_602gVHB1q/?igshid=smjaho3bdc0z
