With this hot weather it makes it that much harder to get up, get out, and exercise.

• Well, we’ve got a great workout you can do right in your pool! You will want to do each of the following moves for a min or two in the shallow end of your pool. These moves will give you a perfect combination of cardio, sculpting, and strengthening your core!
- Jog in Place: keeping your knees high
- Quickly jump from side to side with your feet together
- Elbow to knee: cross your right elbow to your left knee and, alternate sides
- Squat Jumps: squat down with arms at shoulder height; jump up while raising arms overhead
- Jog in Place: keeping your knees high
- Bicycles: Lean back against the pool, arms outstretched and pedal your legs
- Crunches:from bicycle, extend legs in front of you, keeping your feet together and pull both knees into chest and back to starting position.
- Flutter Kicks: Hold onto the edge of the pool, arms extended, and kick legs quickly
- Outer-thigh lifts: Stand with left side near the wall, feet together, holding the edge of the wall with your right hand, lift your left leg out to side. (15-20 reps on each side)
So now there is no excuse not to get up and get your heart rate up! Have a blessed weekend and remember YOU CAN DO IT!!!
Be Blessed,
Mary & Maria
