side moves | Day With KT

This week the daily moves were all doubles! Since they were side-lying moves, each one had to be done on the right side and the left!!!

Sunday 7/6 – 44 side lying scissors (legs move front to back while stacked).

I counted a rep as moving the leg from front to back and back to front. And, even though the video only shows one side, I did a 2nd set of 44 on my other side.

And, since I took Saturday off, I got a nice run in.
10 miles in 71:04 +1.3 easy miles.

Monday 7/7 – 44 side lying double leg crunches.

And after 44 on this side, I flipped over for 44 more.

This is one of those moves that starts out fairly easy but after a few reps gets harder and harder!!!

For my workout I did Chalean Extreme Push Circuit 2. Then I pulled out a DVD I haven’t done in a long time – Shape Sculpt Your Abs. This was 45 minutes of cardio (with lots of ab work) plus 3, 15 minute ab sections – I should do this more often!!!

Tuesday 7/8 – 44 side lying hip abduction (top leg).

lift - heel should point slightly up — lift – heel should point slightly up

You can see why these were nice – I could keep my eyes closed!!!

By the end, my hips were burning!!!

This was another run day.
11 miles in 83:30 + 0.7 miles super easy.

Wednesday 7/9 – 44 crossed leg crunches (on your side, of course!!).

This move is great for your obliques. Having your legs crossed and lifting them also gives you a bit of hip work!!

I think that I got this move from one of my TaeBo workouts.

This was a double workout day – lifting and running!!!
Chalean Extreme Push Circuit 3.
12 mile run in 86:35 + 2 easy miles.

Thursday 7/10 – 44 lower leg lifts.

You can see that it isn’t a big lift but after about 10 you will feel each lift!!!

Don't want to be unbalanced! — Don’t want to be unbalanced!

I decided that after a couple of back to back longish runs, this should be an easier day. So, a really old workout came out – Denise Austin Fat Burning Yoga. I enjoyed the strength and stretching after all the lifting and running!!!

Friday 7/11 – 44 double leg lifts and pulls with band.
