Why YOU are doing Crunches Wrong...

Hey!
I wanted to send you today's back day workout.  It's easy. You can do it at home. All you need is a band!

If you don't have a rig to wrap your band through, open a door and hook the band around the doorknob.  Or buy a door attachment and hook the band through it and close your door.  Ask a family member to help hold it.  Wrap it around a tree outside.  Use an outdoor post or flag pole.  Anything works! Just be creative!

So here's today's workout list!



 And here's the demonstration of the movements:


In addition, I went LIVE on Facebook today to discuss why you may be doing crunches wrong. I have a lot of women asking me while their necks hurt when they do crunches as part of our 5-Day Ab Challenge. So here is my 4 steps to help alleviate that.

4 Steps to Alleviate Your Neck Pain During Abs!
1) Roll up a towel and place under low back.
2) Place a ball between your knees to squeeze.
3) Use a band or towel behind your neck to cradle your head.
4) Keep your neck neutral, don't let you chin jut out, and BREATHE.

How to Avoid Neck Pain with Lifting Weights





It's is MONDAY! Thank God for a new week and a new workout to try!!

Your #sheLIFT's workout for today is:
Banded Chest Day

20 chest press
20 alternating punches, right leg
20 alternating punches, left leg
20 chest flyes
20 push ups 
➡️Complete 3x through.

BUT, make sure to warm-up first with some arm swings, torso twists, good mornings, foam rolling the upper back, stretch out those wrists, shoulder blade squeezes and shrugs and maybe a few jumping jacks or light jump rope skips.

Print the workout out below to keep with you for future reference.


Today's tip of the day for this workout is to keep your jaw relaxed.  As we do upper body exercises we tend to tighten our jaw, hold our breathe, and create all sorts of tension in our neck and spine.  So keep the mouth slightly open, the neck relaxed by looking ahead at the horizon, focusing on breathing throughout the movement, and keeping our traps relaxed.  One way I do this is to think shoulder roll...UP, BACK, DOWN, and lock them in there...

As soon as you feel your traps creeping up toward your ears.  Relax. Let out a big breath, and do the same shoulder roll movement again to lock them back down.  You may have to repeat this many times for awhile until it becomes muscle memory at some point.
