Hold me to it!

So I have had so many people in my life lately that have seriously motivated me. To name a few: My dad eats canned corn for a treat, my mom has cut out all treats, two of my brothers have changed their way of life, eating totally different (this summer one lost 40 pounds, the other 10), and my sister in law had a baby and after giving birth started running 7 miles a day plus an hour of boot camp (her bod is rock solid). And is it just me or is the world doing triathlons! So I am going to try and jump in on the fun. More because I am totally lacking in energy and really want and need more. All people out there who eat healthy tell me that their level of energy goes up when they do. So here I go. Wish me luck!
My new motto Treat your body well and your body will treat you well. So in an effort to help all of you, I am going to post a new set of exercises each week. I am doing this specifically for a few of you (yes, you know who you are) but please try them out. Let me know what you think of them. That requires leaving a comment.

The BUTT workout:
Up on hands and knees, back flat
Take one leg strait up and down (16)
Taking that same leg and bending it at the knee, up and down (16) then pulse (8)
Keeping the leg up, bend the knee and straighten (16)
Taking that knee down to the other and lifting it out to the side, in and out (16)
Leg still out to the side bend it and straighten it (I tell people in my class to pretend there is a dog under that leg, so don't kick it!) (16)
Same leg hold out straight to the side of you, point toe, and taking it up and down (16)
Now taking that knee down to the other and making circles, out and around (16
Switch directions (16)
DO THE OTHER SIDE

Hopefully that all made sense. Let me know if not, maybe next weeks can include pictures.
If new to exercise and 16 is to much than begin with 8 and increase when you feel your body can do more.
