Tis' the season of giving... a great way to burn calories this season is through the act of giving. You can clean out old stuff/not being used to donate, or donate your time to volunteer somewhere. "To give to others is also a gift to oneself."
My daughters will be going to the Nutcracker soon so, I am going to share with you all some strengthening dance moves. Hope you enjoy!
1. Perky Plie: Stand with legs together, toes turned out. Then, holding a bar vertically on the floor, or the back of a chair squat as low as you can. as you lower your body, lift heels off the floor. Return to start & repeat 16 times.
2. Align & Adjust: Start in same first position as above, using a bar or chair. Engage abs, lift left leg with knee bent, point toes, and swing with control front/side/back. Return to start and repeat 8 times on each leg.
3. Raise the Bar: Stand in first position as above. Hold bar horizontally (or maybe a broom, mop, etc.) with both hands at chest level. Engage abs and bend at knees into plie. Then, as you rise and straighten your legs, raise bar overhead. Return and repeat 16 times.
4. Swan Alternate: Stand with feet hip width apart, and a light weight in each hand. Curtsy, stepping right foot back and to left, as you raise arms overhead/palms down, parallel to floor. Return to start, alternate sides and repeat 16 times.
