I'm so very sorry for the delay in this post, but I can assure you that Lipstick & Life will be back on schedule very soon. :)
{Tumblr ~ I Just Need A Moment}
In the summer it's really easy to slack on usual routines since the time is full of relaxation and good food. :) But that doesn't mean we have to stress about it. These are some of the tricks I've discovered this summer. They're really easy ways to incorporate some exercise into typical summer activities. :)
Abs In The Pool
{Soak up the sun}
One really easy thing to do is to engage your abs while swimming. When in a deep end of the pool where you can't touch the bottom, hold your torso straight as you lift your knees towards your chest and curl them in, and then kick your legs out before lowering them once more. It's sort of like doing crunches. Repeat this movement as many times as you can until you start feeling it, then put in a few more, and you've just done a great Ab workout in about 5 minutes. :)
Walking Your Dog
{Spending time with your dog can have more than one perk}
Dogs are great exercise companions. So, lengthen the time or distance of a daily walk. Just getting out in the sunshine and walking around for a while puts in some good cardio - even when wearing flip flops. :) Most dogs will love it!
Leg Lifts + TV
{Work those legs}
While you're sitting on the couch watching TV, something really easy to do are leg lifts. Sit up straight, and then lift your knees until your thighs are parallel to the ground. Hold them in place for about ten seconds. You can alternate between raising the left, right or both legs. Again, repeat these until you feel they're becoming tiring, put in a few more, and then stop. It's pretty quick, and turns chill time into a bit of tone time. :)
Enjoy the rest of your week!
Talk to you Friday!
