3 Muscle-Building Moves To Do This Holiday Weekend!!

Hi everyone! My new Fit Over 50: Strong Body, Strong Mind magazine is on sale right now, and this issue has so much great fitness info for you to try out all summer long! 

I created the workouts to specifically promote strong, lean, healthy muscles - muscles that not only look good, but keep you moving, lifting and walking tall, help to prevent fractures, and improve your balance! Plus, strong muscles boost your metabolism, helping you burn calories even when sleeping - just one more reason to be doing strength-training exercises!

With the Fourth of July holiday weekend approaching, let’s incorporate some strength-training exercises into your weekend! Give these three a try, courtesy of my latest Strong Body, Strong Mind magazine! You can do these anytime, anywhere - even with friends and family!!! 

Standing Twist

This is great for your sides and back - give it a try!

Stand with feet shoulder-width apart and hands behind your head. Lift your right leg up, reaching your left elbow toward your right knee. Do 20 reps, switching legs on each rep, then rest.

Low-Impact High Knees

This move is great for working your lower abs and legs - all while standing!

March in place, bringing your knees up as high as possible. This targets your lower abs and gets your heart rate up! Do this for 10 seconds, then rest and repeat for another 10 seconds.

A great way to work the arms, abs and legs!! 

Stand with your feet hip-width apart, then lower into a squat. Hold your hands by your chin and alternate punching to the front as fast as you can. Do as many reps as you can in 45 seconds, then rest for 15 seconds. Repeat 2 times.

And for a full 7-day workout plan that includes stretching, warm ups, and more booty, arms and ab exercises, grab your copy of Strong Body, Strong Mind! You can now buy it online as a digital, downloadable magazine, order to be delivered, or find it in stores!! 

Let's live FIT, HAPPY and HEALTHY - together!!
