Anne's Weigh

I joined the 5% fall challenge and I am very excited!

I am 44 years, divorced with 3 [26 and 23 (boys) and 21 (girl)] and one grandaughter, 2 yrs old.
I have always been 'slightly' big and some issues these years have changed that to more then slightly.
I joined SP on a whim and am having a grand time here!
The journey is long but the friends make it more than bearable. I've not reach my goal weight, yet but will get there!

This is an explanation of the dead bug.

Dead Bug
Type: Abs
The dead bug exercise is aptly named because it imitates the actions of a dying bug. Apart from the name it's a great exercise for working the whole abdominal region. Dead bugs also improve coordination of movement between the arms and legs. Below you'll find a video guide and step by step instructions that describe the correct technique for performing dead bug exercises.
Level : Beginner Equipment : No
Abdominals
Obliques
Dead Bug Steps:

Step 1:
Lie flat on your back on a gym mat.

Step 2:
Suck in the abdominals and push the lower back into the floor.

Step 3:
Raise your legs, arms, head and shoulders off the floor so they are pointing towards the ceiling.

Step 4:
Simultaneously lower the leg and arm on one side until they are inline with the body.

Step 5:
Then simultaneously raise them back again to the start position.

Step 6:
Repeat for the leg and arm on the other side.

Step 7:
This is one repetition.

Top Tip:

If you find this exercise a strain on the lower back, then bend the knees to reduce the load.

Thanks for your message. I try to bike outside as long as there is no snow or ice on the ground. I usually go longer than 20 mins too. I've been dealing w/ some stomach issues that have slowed me down a little, but it's all getting back to normal. I also love spinning class. :-)

Thanks for leaving a comment on my blog. I think you and SMART4ANDREY are right. Do you know of any good challenges that focus on healthy eating? I'm not really aware of the different challenges. The 5% challenge is the first one I've done that wasn't a SparkPeople sponsored challenge, and I only joined that because my mom wanted me to. I'm really glad I joined, but I think it would be helpful to have a challenge that would help more with my eating habits. The LTGL challenges just aren't enough. Thanks again for commenting on my blog. I noticed that you comment on my blog a lot, and I appreciate your support. Have an awesome evening!
