Toned and Tight Tuesday: Side and Crossover Lunge

First of all, sorry for being MIA for the past week. Omar and I went out of town to celebrate our anniversary and there was literally no time for blogging! We were constantly on the go! But we had a great time and got some much needed time away!

Second of all, sorry (again) for being late on the Toned and Tight exercise! You might notice I look a little different in the pictures...it must have been all the sun! Sike! (yeah I just took you back about 13 years with that one) That is OBVIOUSLY not me in the picture (who likes that that tall, blue eyed, blonde, skinny model type anyways) Due to getting home late last night and going non stop all day long today, I haven't had time to take pictures and upload them so I just decided to jack these from my Pinterest board! :) and I am writing this post on my phone while at Omars soccer game so just overlook and errors or sentences that make no sense at all! :P

This is still a great exercise for your butt, inner and outter thighs, and core! If you move fast enough, this could really get your heart rate up and could be a great addition to your cardio workout!

"tart standing with your feet together, arms down by your sides. Take a wide step to the side with your left foot (your right leg should stay extended) and bend your left knee, pushing your hips behind you. Keep your back flat, eyes looking straight ahead, and reach both arms on either side of your left foot, touching the ground with your fingertips.

Push off the ground with your left foot, standing back up, as you cross your left leg over your right foot (think of stepping your left foot to the left corner of an imaginary box on the ground in front of you) and immediately bend your knees and reach both hands to the floor on either side of your left foot."

Go for 12-15 reps for each side!
