I woke up today wanting to just go back to bed. Men are so lucky they don't have to deal with all the garbage that goes on during period week. I forced myself out of bed, and while the coffee maker did its thing, I popped in the core workout. If this isn't what's best for cramps, I don't know what is.
I suck at side planks - my wrists aren't very strong, and eventually I get a sharp pain in my wrists, so I don't do as many of those as the rest of them do, but I was able to get a few in. One day I will get them! I promise you, though, if you keep up with these exercises - do as many as you can along with Chalene - you will not only feel it the next day, you will see results.
I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm a visual learner. That being said, here's this lovely poster:
When you're doing some of these exercises, you may think "how is this supposed to help me tighten this muscle?" First off, thinking that Chalene is going to steer you wrong is only going to lead to that nasty little voice in your head telling you that you've just wasted money on these DVD's. Nobody likes that voice - it's a complete liar, and you should tell them to shut up and get out now. Second, All your muscles are connected through ligaments, so all muscles are attached to each other in one way or another. My point? If she tells you to bring your knee up to meet your elbow, do it. You'll be working out your obliques, which are those lovely muscles on the sides of your stomach, and when these are toned, they essentially act like a corset and give you that hourglass shape every woman wants. Love your muscles, and they'll love you back!
That being said, I need to get to work. Remember, if I can do it, you certainly can!
