Completely Meatless!

Ladies! What's up? I'm proud to say that these past two days have been completely meatless and full of exercise. Well, actually its been three days because I started the challenge a day early so that my exercise schedule would be right. I've actually started doing the Jillian DVD which is really kicking my butt. I will honestly say that i haven't been doing all the exercises and I'm definitely still on level one. I'm not discouraged, but it does show me that I have a loooooooooooong way to go. I've also been doing pushups and jogging. I think that my main challenge will be drinking lots of water, which is very IMPORTANT! I'm really a juice and fruity drink type of girl, but I shall push myself to drink water.

I've also remeasured myself: waist: 34in hips: 48.5 in

I really need to push myself these next three months to get the perfect waist to hips ratio that video vixens have.. (if its possible by exercises alone). Hopefully there are some ladies out there who really want to have that incredible body just as bad as I do! If so, let me know! I still have received no emails or information about ladies wanting to take this challenge! If you know anyone who might be interested, share this blog before they get too far behind!

 Anyways, as stated in previous blogs, I said that I would list some exercises that targeted the glutes. I decided that I would post two to three exercises every other post. 

Butt Lift (source: bodybuilding.com)

1. Lie flat on the floor on your back with the hands by your side and your knees bent. Your feet should be placed around shoulder width. This will be your starting position.
2. Pushing mainly with your heels, lift your hips off the floor while keeping your back straight. Breathe out as you perform this part of the motion and hold at the top for a second.
3. Slowly go back to the starting position as you breathe in.

Variations: You can perform this exercise one leg at a time.

 Kickback (source: shapefit.com)

1. Get on your hands and knees on a mat on the floor with your back parallel to the ground. In a controlled motion, thrust one of your feet backwards as though you are kicking like a   horse. Be sure to really flex your butt for a one-count when your leg is fully extended back behind you. Return to the start position and repeat with the opposite leg.
2.  While maintaining a 90-degree bend in your right knee, extend your right leg up behind you by hinging at your hip. Lower your leg back down and repeat until you have exhausted the muscles. Switch sides and repeat the process with your left leg. Make sure to keep your hips in-line with the floor during the kickback movement. Your legs should go high enough so that your thigh muscles are parallel with the floor.

Variations: Add an ankle weight to make the exercise harder. Don’t lift the leg as high to make the workout easier.



Add these exercises into your workout and let me know how it goes.  I may also be adding recipes to  spice up the meatless diet.

Until next time,
