Stop making excuses you can not workout with the family down the beach. Get your
butt out of bed and go down to the beach while the family is sleeping and do your
ball exercises and walk.
Stability Ball Roll Outs
for abs, back, shoulders
Kneel with a stability ball about 2 feet in front of you. Place your
forearms on the ball, and bend your elbows to 90-degree angles. Keeping
your abs tight, lean into the ball and allow it to roll forward about 1
foot. Using your ab muscles, pull the ball back toward you. Do 12-15
reps, then stand up and do 12-15 side lunges with each leg. Four weeks
to your healthy beach body!

Summer Fun
Attention clients, friends and family:
As we hit summer in stride it is important to stay on track with your workout and
nutrition program. Of course a few parties and BBQ's here and there will not hurt.
This newsletter is going to give you more guidance and motivation to keep you on
track.

SUMMER WORKOUT TIP

BEACH Lunges. Like squats, lunges work all the major muscles of the lower body:
gluteals, quadriceps, and hamstrings. A lunge is a great exercise because it mimics
life, it mimics walking.
Lunges are a bit more advanced than squats, helping to improve your balance as well.
Here's how to do them right:
Take a big step forward, keeping your spine in a
neutral position. Bend your front knee to approximately 90 degrees,
focusing on keeping weight on the back toes and dropping the knee of
your back leg toward the sand.
You can Imagine sitting on your back foot. The trailing leg is the one you need
to sit down on.
To make a lunge even more functional, try stepping not just forward, but back and
out to each side.
"Life
is not linear, it's multiplanar," And the better they
prepare you for the various positions you'll move in during the course
of a day, the more useful exercises are.

Motivation of the Week
Listen to your body. As you are training it is easy to become
preoccupied with the repetitions you are doing, or the time you've been
exercising. Leave your watch at home and slow down or walk when your
body hurts.
