This week’s core exercise covers the most “forgotten” areas of the core region.  The exercise is called “The Rockettes”.

Watch this week’s video to find out what that is!

Enjoy!

WEEK #5 - LEG DROP

This is personally in my top 2 of favorite core exercises of all time.  No other exercise can cover your core as well as this one - physiologically, mentally and physically from your sternum to your pelvic/pubic bone - this one ROCKS!  I can’t put it any other way.

Enjoy!

This week, I’ve added a “disclaimer” to my core exercise of the week, just to give you an important reminder about having someone (besides me) support you in your core training regimen.  If you don’t work with me, you’ve got to have a support network to help guide you through this journey.  Doing it on your own is setting yourself up to fail.  I’m not saying you may not do some of these exercises well on your own, however, I am saying that having a professional help you (trainer, physical therapist, chiropractor) will give you a huge leap in being much more successful than on your own.

Check out the disclaimer first and then the exericse.  Enjoy

“When life hands you lemons…..”

There are usually three ways people will respond to this one. 
A.   Look at the lemons and wonder what to do next - or what the point of having the lemons in the first place is
B.   Cut the lemons open, taste the sourness and scrunch up their face, maybe adding a few choice words in protest
C.   Get out the lemonade fixins and make the sweetest lemonade ever made

When my husband and I got off the plane on Wednesday, August 26th, landing in Minneapolis, MN, for our week long vacation.  We chose option C.

That was our response to the phone call we received that told us (on our first day of vacation no less) that my husband, Dee, had been laid off from his job, leaving us both wondering “what’s next”?  

One of the best lessons I learned from my sage Midwest family members growing up was to make hay while the sun shined, or otherwise, make lemonade when life hands you lemons - because you never know what the future held or what was next around the proverbial corner.

Instead of worrying about what the future held or what we would do about finances or complaining about the situation, we completely shifted our mindset and looked for the ingredients of that lemonade - the sugar, even more lemons and the tools to stir together and make the best lemonade as possible.

In less than a week, we decided to make the move to Minneapolis/St. Paul - to make it our new home - to be closer to family and friends in the Midwest.  On that vacation we found a new place to live and had four job leads by the time we got home in California.  The lemonade was flowing and we were overwhelmed with the blessings that were coming because of that.

Now, we still have a few lemons in figuring out the final move details and the unknowns of what our job situations will exactly look like once we get to our final destination….but we are enjoying the fruits and lemonade of our labor and are excited about those unknown solutions that will inevitably add to our recipe of sweetness.

Next time, when you feel as though life has handed you some lemons, know that whether or not you feel as though you have the resources for making that lemonade (and option A and B are looking mighty tempting - heck, we’ve all been there many times), remember this story I shared, for the lessons that we have learned in this short period of time are a great testimony to the possibilities that are there for you if you at least see what you can do - we pass that along to you with the hope that you’ll be drinking lemonade eventually too.   Feel free to share with me your recipe of lemonade - you never know how it might help us the next time we have some lemons.

If you haven’t already seen this on YouTube, here is week #3’s core exercise of the week!  This one helps give the “buns of steel” look, as well as tones the thighs, hips and tummy - all at the same time.

Enjoy!
