SCULPT THE BODY YOU DESIRE: HOUR-GLASS FIGURE!

Not feeling motivated?

Stay motivated by surrounding yourself with motivation.

How?

Write down your goal and why you started exercising, invest in work out gear and reward yourself a little each time. Whenever you feel like giving up, remember: mind over body (basically your mind rules your body and not the other way around.)

Side Plank Lift

1. Lie on your side. Position yourself on the bottom of your elbow and the side of your foot. Support weight with elbow and side of the foot. Lift your hips in the air forming a straight line between your ankles, hips, and shoulders. Brace your abs and squeeze your glutes for maximum effect.

2. Now, lower your hips to the floor. Pause, and then return to the starting position.
