Cindy’s Fitness Blog

I just attended a weekend of 12 classes at a fitness conference/clinic.  I’ve always felt that posture is so key to a well put together body, and this concept was further pressed upon the entire weekend.  It seems most of us do not even know what truly good posture really is anymore.  Too much sitting at computers, watching TV, and general sedentary living.  So here it is:  stand with the chest lifted, roll the shoulders down and back, belly button drawn in as in zipping up or pulling your belly away and in from your pants, take the tail bone down toward your heels, soften your knees, slightly draw the chin back, and this should create a nicely alligned body with the ankles, knees, hips, shoulders and ears in a line. Now breathe.  Ta Da! That’s it! Loads of pressure is now off the neck and spine.

Hello everyone!  Monday workouts can be the best of the week.  You may have rested yesterday and/or just done some fun recreational playing around.  All good stuff!  Now it’s Monday, and you’ve got energy for a great workout, right??!!  Today, I spent an hour supersetting legs and shoulders, with very little rest between sets.  I want to work hard and fast to get the best calorie burn.  I am going to Tucson next week for vacation and would like to trim up a bit.  I finished legs and shoulders with obliques and upper abs.  It was great!    What is your workout today?  Let me know!
