DAILY EXERCISE TIPS! NO WEIGHTS NEEDED!! WALL SIT, SUPERMAN, BICYCLE CRUNCH!

Good Morning.  The following exercises work with your body weight so they can be done anywhere.  Get ready for winter sports with these simple exercises.

1. Wall Sit- with your back against a wall and your feet about 2 feet away, slide down until knees are at a 90 degree angle. Hold as long as you can, repeat 3 -5x.

2.  Superman- Lie on stomach with arms and legs stretched out.  Raise arms and legs off the ground a few inches, hold for a few seconds then lower.  Also, as an option you can alternate opposite arm  and leg. Repeat 10x.

3.  Bicycle Crunch- Lie flat on floor with your low back pressed to the ground.  Place your hands besides your head, and curl up (DO NOT CLASP HANDS- this will place too much pressure on your neck!) Bring your knees to about 45 degree angle and slowly go through a bicycle pedal motion.  Touch your left elbow to your right knee, then your right knee to your left elbow, and repeat 10x.
