Exercise Routine

	Exercise Routine
Weekend	Walk 1 Mile, Run 1 Mile, Walk (cool down) ½ mile; 25 leg lifts on each side, 25 side crunches on each side, 25 crunches, 25 leg crunches, 30 second plank
Weekdays	Walk 1 Mile, Run 1 ½ mile, walk (cool down) ½ mile; 30 leg lifts on each side, 30 side crunches on each side, 30 crunches, 30 leg crunches, 45 second plank.

This is my routine, though I do change it up. For example I lift weights at least 2 days a week to work my arms and upper body. I also do longer planks at times (I'm up to 60 seconds now) and I increase the number of crunches, side crunches, leg lifts, and leg crunches each week. I also push myself to see how far I can run, I am up to 3 miles now, but I advise starting out slow. In fact I didn't start running until I was 4 weeks into my journey, which gave my body time to get used to exercise and strengthen some before I really began pushing myself.  I wanted to simply provide a basis to show you what I have been doing. It has helped strengthen my core tremendously! For the first time in my life I can feel my abs!

I am looking for new ways to target my core so please feel free to leave any suggestions you may have in the comment section. I also like to spice my workout up a little by changing my routine so if you have any suggestions for that I would love to hear them as well. I'm sure we all know how boring repetitive workouts can be. 

Until next time,
