Super Effective Shoulder Workout - 6 ways

At the gym, some lady and I were sitting near each other lifting weights. We got to talking and she showed me her favorite shoulder workout: 6 ways by John Meadows. You basically do it until you can't do it anymore. Definitely had me struggling lifting Christopher the next day.

Treadmill Workout - The Side Run

I enjoy running. It's a statement I never thought I'd say. I dreaded running the mile when I was in Elementary and Middle school. I joined the track team in High School and learned to sprint and relay. Since then, my love for running grew. I don't run with music like the rest of the world. I enjoy the fresh air, letting my thoughts run wild and hitting the pavement. Running is therapy.

While I prefer running alfresco, running on a treadmill isn't bad. The treadmill allows me to do things I can't necessarily do or wouldn't want to do outdoors. For instance, on the treadmill, I can run on a super high incline whenever I want. I can also do the side run. I don't see myself doing this outdoors in public. I'm sure there's a proper name, but I call it the side run.

I can't take credit for this. I learned this move from Shonda. I copy a lot of a exercises from her. She makes it look so easy. I haven't yet attempted to run backwards. I know myself all too well. It's public humiliation just waiting to happen.

Toothbrush Workout Series- Abs

This toothbrush workout is easy for anyone to do. I do it at random times; while driving, cooking, and even now as I write this blog.

Flex your abs and keep them engaged the entire time you're brushing your teeth.

Easy, right? It's easy to forget and relax though, so keep that in mind.

Toothbrush Workout Series - Squats!

I've really been trying hard the past few weeks to workout on a consistent basis. I've done well, but this week, I'm really struggling. This morning, I did one of my toothbrush workouts. They're really simple to do.

You're supposed to brush your teeth for 2 minutes, right? So for those 2 minutes, instead of just standing there, do squats!

I don't have a picture of me doing this, but I will have CJ take a picture soon, so I can upload one.

Happy brushing (and squatting)!!
