The 30 Day Ab Challenge and Fitness

This month ( well starting from the 7th August, today) I am have set myself the challenge to do the 30 day ab challenge. There are loads of 30 day challenges you can do like the 30 day photo challenge, 30 day squat challenge, 30 day plank challenge and so on. I don't want to lose wait but just tone up a bit. I do dance so that keeps me fit but in the holidays i don't do it so i like to try and keep active. So with the 30 day ab challenge you do different exercises and build it up each day this is the one i am following:

I think this will be hard as i built it up but hopefully as my core muscles strengthen i will find it easier. 

Because of the ab challenge i won't be doing my normal fitness routine but this is what i usually do. Starting off my lying on my side with one leg over the other and then just lifting the leg underneath the arc for about 120 times. I wouldn't recommend doing this many if you're just starting out but building it up maybe starting at 50. 

This is what the position is and just lift it up and down. This helps strengthen your inner thighs and gets rid of that floppy flab there;)

Next is the plank which i think most of you know about but what you do is prop your arms up and get up onto your toes with a straight back like this.

I hold this for about 90 seconds but i struggle so just do it for as long as you feel comfortable. This works your core muscles.

Next i do sit ups but with my feet underneath the sofa which makes it a lot easier but still works you. If you don't know you put your arms behind your head, feet under the sofa then lift yourself up. I do as many as i feel comfortable with. Again this works your core muscles.

You can put your feet underneath anything.

Next thing is for the top part of your leg and is done by this.

You hold onto the wall or something with your hand and then squat with one of your legs and kick the other one straight out. Then with that same leg stretch it right around to the back then put down. Really stretch when doing this and for 10 times on each leg. Sorry i couldn't find an image.

Last workout (phew!) is the wall sit. Pretty simple and doesn't look hard but believe me it bloody kills. And it made me say bloody. You sit with your back against the wall with your knees bent and hold it for as long as you can this is so effective! 

Diet wise i don't diet but i eat a lot of fruit and think i have quite a nutritious diet of fish a bit of meat vegetables and fruit. If i've had a big bit of cake then i try not to eat chocolate or crisps for the rest of the day but you know everyone has those days where you just think stuff it and eat what you want like pizza and cake so you know once in a while it's fine:) don't worry i have done that before especially on a crap day. I hope this has helped you out if you want to start a workout. :)

Love you all you're all beautiful!
