GYAIG Challenge!

Okay, ladies. Time to Get Your Asses In Gear! I will be out of town all day tomorrow, so I am posting this here today instead.

Today's challenge: Planks. How long can you hold it?

***If you are pregnant, do side crunches. The side crunch is an effective variation of the crunch that can be safely performed during your second and third trimester. To do a side crunch, lie on your left side with your left leg slightly bent and your left arm extended out to your left to keep you stable. Place your right palm behind your head. Bend your right knee and bring your right elbow to make contact with your knee, keeping your hand on your head. Do 25 repetitions, then repeat the movement lying on your right side. Get to it, ladies, and report back!

    Upper abdominal exercises are safe throughout pregnancy. You can tuck a wedge under your left or right hip so you're not laying flat.

    Planks can be done on your knees, but are safe throughout pregnancy.

    I hope you don't mind me chiming in. I have several fitness certifications and one maternity group fitness certification as well as pregnancy in Pilates certificate.
