Are You Up For The Plank Challenge?

Check out this great challenge for one of the best exercises !I just started this so lets see how this goes...Share for others to enjoy !

If Done Correctly Planking Is a Total Body Workout.

Stomach pulled up and in. To do this, do a kegel first than pull bellybutton to spine.
Shoulders away from ears and DO NOT have chest forward. You will know if you are doing this because your shoulder blades will be close together. Instead press through your shoulder to your elbows. Elbows directly under shoulders, forearms flat on floor with hands in fist, thumbs up!
Legs straight, butt tight. I mean squeeze those cheeks like you have a hundred dollar bill between them and it is windy.
Hips level. I should be able to put a platter with hot tea on your butt and you will not spill it!
Spine straight. Do Not Look up! Head should be in alignment with spine. Your eyes should be looking between fist.
Most important breath. Inhale through your nose slowly for a count of 5, exhale through your mouth for a count of 8.

The challenge only will work if you follow proper body alignment. If you see that you are starting to lose form stretch back in childs pose and get back in plank. If you find you can not maintain proper form than do not go any further. If your best form is at 3 minutes than do that for a week before moving to next step. This is about building a strong beautiful body. Improper form will cause pain and you will want to quit all together or you will cause a long lasting injury. Most of the time it is felt in the neck and shoulders.

Warm-up first by doing something to get your heart rate up for at least 3 minutes. Jumping jacks, jog in place, turn on your favorite song and dance like know one is watching or follow one of my THB Dance Fitness Videos .

Want to really see a change? Send me your before picture and starting date and then send me your after photo. Nothing motivates us more than if we have someone who know our plans and helps us stay accountable.

Peace and Love

Don't Let Anyone Still Your Dream

Christopher Maloney Let Other People Still His Dream For over 5 years Christopher Maloney listen to other people tell him not to go on the X Factor because he would make a fool of himself. With a serious case of stage fright, Christopher Maloney took a deep breath and opened his mouth and what came out will bring tears to your eyes. Watch his story now. Did you cry? Like most of us you did. Now if you go on Youtube and search Christopher Maloney you will come across a video that looks like he won X Factor UK 2012. He Didn't! He came in third!

"Tub Talk" Tell Me Your "Why"

Tell Me Your "Why" What is Your Why? For your finances? Mine is to be financially secure enough to be able to help all the charities and individual I want. You see I started with wanting to make $5000 a month, but when I was asked to really think "why" I wanted to make $5000 I realized I wanted more. I wanted to not just be able to take care of my family, but help all of those that God shows me I need to help. I wanted to be able to travel anytime to anywhere with my family, without worrying how much it cost or if I had enough days off from work. Do you want help reaching your financial goals? See for yourself , you can make your dreams come true. Your Health? For Me it is to be as healthy as I can be. I have had three heart surgeries, a mental plate with four screws in my neck, broken bone on my foot and I fight CFIDS everyday. Did I let any of these things stop me from my "why" for being healthy? NO!! Instead I fo

Are Americans Really Agreeable?

Americans Are Agreeable In the November 2013 Issue of Readers Digest they had an article with some interesting facts. Instead of looking at everything we all like to disagree about, the Associated Press wanted to find out what we agreed upon. They found that nine out of ten Americans agreed on these 11 topics: believe in God Are very patriotic consider preventing terrorism very important foreign policy goal believe cloning humans would be morally wrong think society should ensure everyone has an equal opportunity to succeed think it's important to get more than high school education. believe it's their duty to vote find birth control morally acceptable admire those who get rich by working hard. believe it's wrong for married people to have affairs. favor teaching sex education in public schools. Well there are a few that I don't agree with. Getting More Education After High School Doesn't Always Have To Be Collage. Sad to say t
