You wanna get great legs? Try this !

Incredible is the surname of my PT. Today he show me 2 new set that he suggests me to workout with. One in the morning(that actually counts 2..remember Ive got the superdonna already) and one before bedtime( doesnt he eat so late, like I do?). Well, its everything WE do here in Italy – digestive after dinner. You are gonna understand when you see, Upward Plank Rose.

I like him. Because he has his pc nearby all the belt machines, and he when I was off ready to step home. He grabbed me and said: ” I know that you have your blog, why dont you get those sets from PUMA MAIMI and put it out so everybody can follow them?” Sure, I will do.it ! How nice isnt it when people give more then they have to? And that I have not payed for. Good souls.

 Side Lunge to Knee Raise Twist

3 sets of 25 reps

Start standing. Take a wide step out to one side and bend through the knee, toes pointing forward. Squat back so the torso becomes parallel to the floor and the tailbone is reaching back behind you. Opposite leg is extended straight, toes pointing forward. Press into foot of straight leg, as you push off bent leg, bringing the knee towards the chest. Finally, twist the opposite elbow towards the lifted knee to squeeze through the side waist. That is one rep. Step out to the side again and repeat, building up to 12 reps, then switch sides.

 

Good for balance, oblique and core toning, and leg and hamstring strength

 Upward Plank Pose
Come to sitting, legs out straight in front of you, hands by your hips, flat back and long spine, like an L-shape. Bring the fingertips to face towards the body. On an inhale, press into plams and into the heels of the feet, lifting your hip points and pelvis up towrads the ceiling. Breath and drop the head back, creating a straight line from toe tips to crown of head. Breath deeply for 3 rounds and release back onto the floor.
One thing more he taught me: ALWAYS try to balance. Use your balance many times per day. An example can be:
When you changing your shoes, stand on one leg and grab your shoe, put it on…BUT always stay on one leg. Another example: When you are stretching, dont hold onto things, like walls, machines etc. Keep your balance standing on one leg.
This IS so good for your memory, and put back cells to your brain, and create new ones .
