Warm up

General warm up:  Step side to side for 30 steps, swinging your arms front to back, as if you are grabbing air and throwing it behind you.

Waist warm up: Stand with feet hip distance apart.  Twist to the left from your waist, reaching across your body with your right hand and arm while releasing your hip and letting your right foot turn slightly to the left.

Standing alternating crunches.

Strengthen your belly muscles to help control your belly fat!

Stand with feet hip distance apart. Clasp hands behind head.  Raise your right knee and lower your left elbow simultaneously until the knee and elbow come as close to meeting as possible without losing your balance.  Return to starting position and repeat with the other knee and elbow.  This is one standing crunch.  Repeat 20 times – working up to that and gradually increasing the number of repetitions.

Standing side crunches.

Work the waist muscles around your belly to help control your belly fat.

Stand with feet together.  Extend your left arm up straight over your head.  At the same time bring your left elbow down and your left knee straight out to the side and up towards your elbow.  Repeat 10 times on the left and then switch over and do the same movements using the right side of your body.

Cool down.

Waist cool down.  Stand with feet hip distance apart.  Without moving your feet, swing your body from the waist up from side to side, letting your arms swing freely – to loosen up your waist.

Walk for 2 minutes then do some gentle stretches.
