New Year's Eve

Let's do another light mit-it-up day today.

Rather, today will all be about balance.

So go to the mates and get a stability ball and be ready.

-Hanstring pull/ush while lying down on your back, feet placed moderately on the ball for support and keep your hips up. Do 3 sets of 10

-push ups on the bosu ball (either upside down or right side up) 5-6-7 or 3-4-5
(this will work your abs as well)

-do squats on the "bubble" part of the bosu ball while holding a medicine ball out in front of your chest. After the set (either 3 sets of 5 or 10) hold the squat for 20-30seconds and add 10 seconds each time around.

-Pull in's while you are in the push up position with your feet (the top of the feet) are on the stability ball. Keep tummy in! And pull the ball to your chest. Either 5-6-7 or 3 sets of 10

-Superset the above exercise with touch your toes crunches with a weight (2.5lb or 5lb.) 3 sets of either 10 or 20 (push yourself)

-Chest press/flys while lying on the stablitiy ball. The upper part of your shoulders should be what is on the stability ball and your pelvis should stay up so your tummy is flat, while you do the exericse. Pick an apporpriate weight and do 3 sets of 15 reps.

-You can be done if you feel good, or you can do the hamstring see-saw with or without weights. If you have never done this with me, please don't try it now. If you have done it, you know what to do. Do 3 sets of 10-15reps.

And you are done. Please do some cardio, because tomorrow you most likely won't be feeling up for a true blue workout.

Happy New Year's! (almost anyways)
