Chiseled Chicks Returns! Toned Up Tuesday

Alrighty folks its been a super long while since I last posted. Since I last wrote, I have had a beautiful baby girl via C-section. She will be 6 months on August 1st. I have been working diligently to regain my core strength and I have truly found my transverse abdominals (aka the lower abs). I will post pics of my little Myla and my now 4 year old Malachi soon enough, but I figured I would jump right in and give you a workout your can do today for a total body workout with just a chair and no weights!

Toned Up Tuesday:
Warm up with some front kicks, hamstring curls, full arm circles (in both directions), and a few jumping jacks (about 3 minutes total)
Circuit-perform 12 reps of each exercise with no rest between. Rest only after completing all 6 exercises for just 1 minute

• chair dips
• reverse squat (start seated then stand up with arms crossed on chest-lift feet off ground about 6 inches before you stand)
• reverse lunge (use chair for balance if needed)
• chair pushups
• leg raises (lie on your back just far enough for legs to touch the seat as you lower your legs-when legs touch the seat pull them back up. place hands under back/butt for support).
• full plank (with arms straight, you may do plank with your legs straight out or with your feet on the seat of the chair-hold for a 12 count)

Happy Toning!

PS Vids and pics of any and everything coming soon!
