Okay, are you all still with me?
This workout plan starts tomorrow morning (2/21/11).
It's called the SuperStarter Workout (aka SSWO), it is a simple at home WO that combines AB workout & Cardio & Stretching all in one. It's easy & fast and it's perfect, well I think so. This workout will seem a bit on the bore side, but we will not move on to something else until we have determination and dedication and, and ahhh, it's just really a form of punishment for not being able to stick to this tummy melting adventure! There, I said it... but you were thinking it!
But, truly I am sincerely excited about this new work out! Here goes.
SuperStarter Workout:
1st- Twist.
2nd- Toe Touch/Sky High Five.
3rd- Twist.
4th- Bicycle.
5th- Twist.
6th- Toe Touch/Sky High Five.
1st- Twist= Abs engaged. Stand with legs shoulder width apart, bend knees a little. Arms curled, in front of chest, arms also shoulder width apart. And twist. Twist torso left to right. All while keeping head still and keeping feet planted. And Twist at a moderate speed. Twist to the Left and to the Right =count one. Exhale when to the left or right. Inhale in the center.

Then bend at waist again, this time taking left hand to touch right toe. All the while right arm and hand are reaching up for the sky. Then while still in stance. Back into airplane pose. Reach right arm and hand diagonally into sky towards the left side, as if high fiving the sky. All the while left arm and hand goes out behind. And back to airplane pose. Next reach left arm and hand diagonally into sky towards the right side, as if high fiving the sky. All the while right arm and hand goes out behind. (For more of a stretch, your head and gaze can follow the arm) And back to airplane pose. Now start from the beginning. And alternate, and alternate. Left toe touch =one count, right toe touch =two count. Left sky high five =three count, right sky high five =count four.... Exhale at the bend. Inhale at the airplane pose.

That's the new SuperStarter Work Out! Do this all week!
Don't worry about your daily food intake until next week. Just Work it Out!
okay, so... your Monday (wait, actually your whole week) should look like this:
*Wake up.
*Sun Salutation (always, everyday, always do as soon as you awake).
(for directions check the Tues. Jan. 25, 2011 post titled "Week 1 Day 2")
*Take a couple swigs of water (also drink plenty of water during and after WO).
*Do yur SuperStarter Work Out.
*Eat a post-work out food bar (as in previous post: "I recommend nourishing food bars with 50-75 carbs, 10-25g protein. Get anything by: Odwalla, Kind, Luna, gnu Foods, Nutri-Grain, Kashi TLC, Clif, Powerbars, etc...").
*And... start your day.
REMEMBER always engage your ABs (meaning keep stomach/abs in and up) all day long.
REMEMBER always drink lots and lots of water and green tea all day long.
Simple. Dimple.
P.S. Remember to always consult a physician before starting any workout plan.
