Workout Challenge - February Calendar

Love handles.
Muffin top.
Spare tire.


Or, you know, obliques if you want to get technical with the anatomy. 

The one area (other than inner thighs) that I have heard the most complaints about. It seems no matter how well you eat nor how much cardio you do, this stubborn area won't be going away anytime soon. At least not without a million of those tedious crunches and situps we all just love...

*whine whine whine* 

If you are anything like me,there is few thing I find harder than building motivation for exercise routines that involve the level of boredom. So lookie here, I decided to adapt a circuit routine that I won't be loathe to get down and dirty with. A downloadable version can be found here.



If you are unsure how to perform an exercise, please be sure to look for a tutorial or youtube instructional video for help. The full names for the exercises included in this routine are: Woodchoppers, Russian Twists, Side Plank Hip Lifts (or Dips), and Dumbell Side (Oblique) Bends. 


As a reminder with any workout routine, a healthy diet and cardio exercise are necessary to lose fat on the body. Toning exercises are just that, they tone the area. Because of this, I've included a link to an earlier post for an easy at-home 45 minute cardio routine to help burn those fat cells. 


Let's get some motivation going and kick oblique butt this month!
