Is It You?

How do you want to look? Do you want to look like you did years ago? Do you want to look like a person in a magazine? Do you want to look like a bodybuilder?

I previous blog posts, I wrote about ogenetics is a determiner of how you will look, no matter how much you work out, and how to be happy with how you look through the process. It is important to envision how you want to look while liking where you are.

Have you ever gone into a department store and seen an outfit that is wonderful, creative, and sexy, but just not you? You are certain it would look great your friend, but you will pass. Another's look may not be right for you. As you see your body change, you will see what feels and looks good for you. Let it flow and intend together. It is a yin yang balance, as is everything.

Variation on Abdominal Plank

See January 22 blog post for abdominal plank exercise.

Here are variations for your transverse oblique muscles:

From the plank position, bring your right leg at a 90-degree angle out parallel to your side and back to the plank position. Repeat for four sets of ten repetitions. Do the same for the left leg.

From the plank position, lift your right leg at a 90-degree angle up so your ankle goes over your right gluteus maximus muscle. Repeat for four sets of ten repetitions. Do the same for the left leg. This also works your glueteus maximus muscles.
