There have been some fantastic internet workouts posted over the past few weeks. Some of these workouts have become part of my weekly routine, while others are super new to me, and super fun. Can you guess which I have become addicted to? Hint, I have been ridiculously addicted to bum and abs workouts of late.
Extra TV Fitness Challenge
Cassey over at Blogilates is a genius. This easy to complete fitness challenge is super fun and gives you they chance to be a star on Extra. Blogilates and Extra have teamed up for a sit-up challenge. See if you can complete more sit-ups than Mario Lopez or Maria Menounos while being distracted. Record your distracted 30 second sit-up challenge and send it in for a chance to win a spot on Extra!
8 Minute Abs 2.0
Do not let the title fool you, this ab workout is short, but boy is it intense. Nicole, from Pumpsandiron.com is great at making yummy foods and fantastic ways for us to burn it off. This workout is not exception. The entire thing takes (you guessed it) eight minutes and works the core, oblique, and lower abs. It also gives some extra toning to the bum and thighs. Yes please!
This workout is great, but what really caught my eye were her fantastic Nike leggings. They are gorgeous!
Yoga for Knees
It has been a while since we talked about yoga videos available online. Honestly, my new running schedule has taken the drivers seat and reduced the amount of yoga I have been doing each week. Mistake. If you are doing the 10K training along with me, I would totally recommend doing this flow after your run. This flow totally reminded why we need yoga, especially when we are doing abnormal, rigorous activities.
You may have guessed it, but strong knees are a bit important for running. This flow works the knee muscles and increases flexibility, making your legs more sturdy and increasing range of motion!
