Fitness in 4: Strengethen Your Core Muscles While Sitting Down

Welcome back to be. Well, time now for fitness and four and many of us dream of having a washboard abs six pack a tone tummy one day, Lord. But you know what? Getting rid of belly fat is really hard. That's right. So we have fitness experts, real life. Couple Mo and Elaine, the Lady of Evolution three here with us and you're actually gonna be with us all week, which is awesome. But right now I love the idea of sitting, not because I'm comfortable, but because so many people end up getting stuck at their desk at work or whatever the case may be. But that is no excuse. That's right. And it's, and all. So we have a lot of people with mobility issues, they can't move around as much as they want to. A lot of people don't go to the gym, don't have time to go. You can just be in your house, you could, you know, pull out your dining room or your kitchen. Exactly. Exactly. Like so many people have mobility issues. How can we get rid of our guts by sitting in these chairs? Ok. So the first one is so easy, put your hand to your ear, not behind your head because I don't want you to put pressure your spine to your ear and just elbow to knee like a bicycle. Exactly. Elbow to knee. Now, do you like to do these for a certain amount? Like, am I going for 16 or am I doing it for a minute or? I like to do at least 30 seconds? Seconds to 45 seconds each set, at least four sets. How high do we have to get our knee? Because what if we can't get our knee too high? Well, the starting point would be here. Ok. Make sure you're engaging your core, you, you're pulling the core and you're keeping your back straight. When you do that, we don't wanna do this because we don't wanna look like that. I wanna be on. So I wanna be up. So I got that way. Exactly. Exactly. The next one now we're gonna work our obliques. So we either have our hands same way to the ear or we could have it down to the side and we're gonna engage the core and hold your, your, your and straighten your back, your core. Ok. So I always wanna think maybe like I'm in between two panes of glass, so I don't have any of that forward flexion. Right. Exactly. Exactly. So you're going down and the goal is to, oh, is it go down? So you get a stretch here but your body will tell you if that's too far as soon as you go. That's it. Then that's your body. And first and foremost, I encourage all of my clients to make sure you get the clinic by your doctor first before you start moving. Make sure. Yeah. Love, love hand and then we gonna do some OK, Jess Go. Uh So still hands the same place, bringing the knees up to the front side. That's right. And what about focusing on our breathing? We wanna exhale when we work, right? Is that the rule out out? And now this 30 seconds as well, 30 seconds to 45 seconds. And how many rounds of these after we've done 34 sets? Four sets. Ok. So now we gotta go back to the top again and then you go back. Should I give myself a little rest in between, at least 30 seconds in between all? Ok. So not too much, not too much. I just wait, start again. Now these workouts have actually helped you mo because you actually had some improvements in your health condition. I had so much going on when Elaine and I first met and, um, I was diagnosed with high blood pressure, high cholesterol and I was borderline out. It was, yeah. And then right after we got married, then I found out that I had, uh, prostate cancer and these workouts really improved your life and your whole well being not only the work workout. Totally, totally changed my diet.
